   When people mention compartment food trays, most first think of takeaway packaging. Yet their uses go far beyond delivery. We offer both 4-compartment and 5-compartment tray styles, designed to match different meal combinations. They are widely used in canteens, group catering, home meal prep, event catering, dine-in restaurants and more, balancing hygiene, practicality and visual appeal.

   Both trays are made of food-grade PP material, compliant with food contact standards. They can hold freshly cooked hot food directly and are microwave-safe for reheating, suitable for both hot and cold meals. Vertical reinforcing ribs on the tray body enhance rigidity. The trays stay firm when fully loaded, resisting deformation and spills during handling and transport. Two color options are available: solid black for a sleek, premium look, ideal for business set meals; white-orange two-tone for an appetizing bright style, perfect for canteens and community catering.

   ▫️ 4-Compartment Tray Evenly sized compartments with a simple layout. Great for staple food + two hot dishes + one side dish, or staple food + one meat, one vegetable and dipping sauce. With moderate capacity, it avoids overcrowding. It works well for single portions, student meals and senior meal services. Its compact size saves storage space when stacked and speeds up serving, ideal for simple meal combinations with fewer side items.

   ▫️ 5-Compartment Tray Features one large compartment plus four smaller compartments for flexible separation. The large space is reserved for rice or other staple foods, while the smaller sections hold meat, vegetables, cold dishes, pickles or sauces. Dry and wet food are kept apart. Rice stays free from gravy soaking, light vegetables won’t soak up heavy oil, and dressing from cold dishes won’t mix with hot food. Every dish retains its original flavor. It is a great choice for hearty set meals, corporate group catering, pre-made food packaging and picnic meals.
