Biodegradable Pulp Trays for Meat, Fruits, Vegetables, and More
Bioleader® supplies molded pulp trays for fresh-food packaging, prepared-food service and wholesale assortments. Start with the food, portion and packing method, then compare tray dimensions, depth and the complete packaging arrangement. The bagasse tray range brings together open trays, divided meal formats and references supplied with separate lids.
This page helps importers, distributors and foodservice buyers shortlist formats across those uses. A product name is the starting point; the selected model, drawing and packed sample establish what to order.
Choose a Molded-Fiber Tray by Product and Use
A shallow display tray and a deep food container can occupy a similar shelf area while carrying very different portions. Record the usable base, overall footprint, depth and intended fill before choosing a nominal capacity. Where a cover is needed, select it with the tray rather than treating any matching-looking lid as interchangeable.
Bioleader®’s published range gives buyers concrete models to compare. Use the references below to build an assortment, then request the current drawing, sample and quotation for each order line.

Compare Tray Footprint, Depth and Load
| Selection point | What to compare | Purchasing value |
|---|---|---|
| Footprint | Overall dimensions, usable base and the space needed in the outer carton or display | A shortlist that fits the actual packing and merchandising space |
| Depth and portion | Food height, fill level and clearance beneath a lid or film | A format suited to the portion rather than a capacity label alone |
| Loaded handling | Tray support, grip, stacking arrangement and the actual packed weight | A practical sample check before repeat purchasing |
| Packing unit | Pieces or complete sets per carton, inner packing and separate accessories | Comparable order quantities and landed-cost calculations |
Specify Material, Surface and Component Requirements
Specify the supplied fiber construction, color and any surface treatment alongside the model number. Bioleader® lists sugarcane bagasse products in this range; ask which construction and finish apply to the selected article and intended food.
For a tray-and-lid order, record the lid material, closure geometry and packing unit separately. Printing, embossing or a new mold should be discussed against the proposed article, artwork and quantity so the approved sample represents the intended production version.
Match the Tray to the Packing Task
Fresh produce, chilled proteins and prepared meals place different demands on a tray. Compare the food contact, moisture exposure, holding period and handling route rather than assuming one format suits every application.
For retail produce and assortments, use the fruit and vegetable tray selection guide to narrow the display and packing brief. For proteins, cheese and deli operations, the meat and cheese tray guide focuses on the complete tray, pad and covering arrangement.
Divided meal trays and deeper lidded formats remain useful parts of the broader assortment. Keep their order lines distinct from shallow display trays, including any separately packed lids.
Published Tray Size and Carton References
| Published model | Size reference | Pieces per carton | How to use the reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| T034 · shallow tray | 180 × 134 × 25 mm | 1,000 | Compare the usable area and depth with the intended food portion |
| T1000 · 1,000 ml tray | 180 × 124 × 74.6 mm | 500 | Compare a deeper format and confirm the proposed cover and filled sample |
These two references illustrate why similar lengths do not mean the same tray geometry. Their carton quantities are also different. State quantities by model and by pieces or sets so trays and accessories can be quoted on a consistent basis.
Match Documents to the Selected Tray
Keep the specification, material description and relevant documents together for each selected model. Food-contact evidence should identify the article or material and intended contact conditions; compostability documentation should identify its covered products and disposal route.
Use the existing certificate resources as a starting point for a document request. Any PFAS-related requirement should be tied to the supplied SKU, the buyer’s requirement and the applicable supporting documentation, rather than inferred from the word “pulp.”
Plan Samples, Customization and Repeat Orders
Bioleader® can work from a product reference, sample or drawing to discuss the appropriate tray and customization brief. A useful request includes model, portion, dimensions, finish, cover, artwork, quantity and destination. That makes it easier to compare a standard article with a proposed custom version.
For repeat supply, keep the approved drawing, sample, packing details and inspection points under one specification. Confirm quotation terms and production timing for the actual order instead of carrying assumptions from a different tray or earlier shipment.
Turn the Shortlist into Clear Order Lines
- Choose the tray model and describe the food and packing task.
- Check the loaded sample, any cover, and the intended handling and holding conditions.
- Record the agreed material, dimensions, finish, packing unit and artwork version.
- Request the relevant product documents and a quotation by model, quantity and destination.
- Use the approved specification and sample as the reference for production and subsequent orders.
This model-by-model approach lets a distributor consolidate several tray formats without treating their performance, accessories or packing quantities as identical.
Pulp Tray Buyer Questions
Compare the actual food footprint, height, fill level and any cover clearance. The published T034 reference is 180 × 134 × 25 mm, while T1000 is 180 × 124 × 74.6 mm. Check the drawing and a loaded sample before approving either format.
No. The range includes open trays and references described with separate lids. Confirm the lid model, material, fit and packing unit on each order; do not assume every tray is supplied as a complete set.
A format may be considered for more than one application, but the complete package should be evaluated for the actual food, moisture exposure, holding conditions and handling route. Use application-specific samples and documentation rather than a general tray description.
Use the packing quantity for the specific model and distinguish pieces from complete sets. Published examples list T034 at 1,000 pieces per carton and T1000 at 500 pieces per carton; confirm current packing and separately ordered accessories with the quotation.
Provide a drawing or reference sample, required dimensions, food and packing application, material or finish needs, any cover, branding, estimated quantity and destination. Bioleader® can then discuss the appropriate standard article or custom development route.
Ask for the current specification and documents relevant to the selected article and intended use. Check the scope of food-contact, compostability or PFAS-related evidence against the actual supplied product and purchasing requirement.
