Our Sugarcane Bagasse Food Tray is made from natural sugarcane bagasse, offering a practical alternative to conventional plastic food trays for takeaway, catering, foodservice and ready-to-eat applications. Designed for direct food contact, the tray combines a sturdy molded-pulp structure with water- and oil-resistant performance, making it suitable for hot, oily and refrigerated foods. Available in different sizes, shapes, compartments, colours and surface finishes, it can be customized to match your packaging requirements and brand identity. From stock samples to custom tooling and bulk production, we provide a complete solution from product development to final shipment.
Product Specification
| Common problem with generic trays | Our approach |
|---|---|
| "Compostable" claim with no documents | BPI + OK Compost Home certified; 30–90 days home compost, verifiable |
| Leaks or goes soggy with hot oily food | Food-grade water & oil barrier; −20℃~120℃, no leak, no soften |
| Only a few standard shapes | Single/multi-grid/irregular custom geometry; thickness & load tuned to your channel |
| Long wait + high tooling cost | 2,000+ stock molds for instant selection; custom mold in 3–10 working days |
| Fails retailer or customs audit | FDA, LFGB, ISO 22000 on file, supplied on request |
| Cracks or collapses under heavy loads | Wet-press integrated molding, rigid body, survives takeout & delivery |
| Looks like a generic white box | Custom dyeing, lamination, food-grade spray & water-based logo printing |
Production Timeline — From Brief to Shipment
Step 1 | Requirement Confirmation — Day 1–2
We confirm usage scenario, dimensions, shape, load requirement, colour and surface finish. Output: a signed requirement brief. No design work begins until you approve it.
Step 2 | Structural Design — Day 3–5
Industrial designers issue 2D/3D drawings to your spec. Output: approved drawing file. Revisions continue until the structure is right.
Step 3 | Trial Sampling — within 7 working days
Trial mold opened; physical samples produced and sent for your confirmation. Output: real samples you can test with actual food.
Step 4 | Production Tooling & Bulk Run — after sample approval
Formal production mold commissioned; batch production scheduled and executed. Output: production lot with traceable batch numbers.
Step 5 | Full Inspection — before packing
Dimension, weight, water/oil resistance, appearance and food-safety indicators checked across the lot. Output: inspection/release report.
Step 6 | Packing & Loading
Packaging, quantity verification and container loading arranged. Output: packing list and shipping documents.
Always in effect: your custom mold and fixtures are held under your exclusive custody permanently (zero third-party use); small-batch trial orders are accepted before volume commitment.
Factory Credentials — Verifiable
Category focus, 17+ years
A dedicated molded-pulp manufacturer with no diversification into unrelated categories. Business licence, site photos and production records available for review; facility footprint exceeds 25,000 m².
In-house tooling library: 2,000+ molds
Existing pulp-product molds held on site. Stock styles can be selected without new tooling; mold IDs are recorded and retrievable for repeat orders.
Independent in-house mold workshop
Molds are designed and built on site rather than outsourced. This shortens the opening cycle and removes third-party mark-up from custom tooling costs. Workshop access available on audit visits.
Integrated line under one roof
Pulp blending → molding → drying → surface coating → final inspection run as a single continuous flow with no subcontracted stages, so batch-to-batch variance is controlled at one site.
Certification portfolio current and on file
FDA (US food contact), LFGB (EU food contact), BPI, OK Compost and ISO 22000 food-safety management. Valid certificates and test reports supplied on request for clearance and retailer audits.
Capacity headroom
Daily output up to 800,000 pieces. Capacity can be allocated to large overseas orders and seasonal peaks; production schedules and on-time delivery records available for review.
Export market experience
Regular shipments to Europe, North America, Australia and Southeast Asia — familiar with the documentation, labeling conventions and specification formats these markets require.
Packaging Specification
Layer 1 | Unit grouping
Products stacked in aligned layers and sealed in food-grade PE bags. Function: dust barrier; prevents edge crushing and compression marks from stack pressure.
Layer 2 | Outer carton
Standard export-grade corrugated cartons with thickened wall specification. Function: structural rigidity for multi-layer pallet/container stacking.
Layer 3 | Edge & corner protection
Reinforced corner guards fitted at all carton corners. Function: absorbs impact at the weakest points during handling and transfer.
Layer 4 | Sealing
Waterproof tape sealing across all seams. Function: moisture ingress protection; tamper-evident — re-taping is visually detectable.
Layer 5 | Internal buffer (long-haul routes)
Additional cushioning material inserted on ocean and extended-distance shipments. Function: reduces vibration- and shock-induced breakage.
Stacking & container utilisation
Carton dimensions set for stable, full-height stacking; maximises fill rate and lowers per-unit freight cost.
Mode & port
Sea freight for bulk orders (cost-optimal); air freight or express courier for samples and trial quantities. All shipments dispatched from Qingdao Port.
