Trays and Bowls for Fresh Food Displays

In the olden days of fresh food presentation (probably the years before 2015!) it was considered by many businesses that the food product was the hero. And it was sufficient to display fresh food in any tray or bowl. These containers were typically white or black and they were often displayed in a rectangular, flat, grid-like arrays. Sizes were randomly mixed with the aim of fitting the maximum number of containers in the space available.

Today's way of thinking is that these old-time displays were visually boring, failed to add to the customer's shopping experience, did not respond to customer's changing shopping habits and did little to distinguish one store's displays from those of another. Unfortunately many businesses still use this approach when setting up or renovating their displays.

The many styles of trays and bowls listed in this department are a great place to start if you are looking at setting up cost-effective display solutions for fresh food.

Trays with inserts can help you to reduce waste and save you money. Choose trays and bowls made from durable materials like melamine to minimise costs over the long to medium term. And add other display products like riser steps to add visual interest to the displays.

Use different colours and textures to create zones within your display to highlight different product groups and to help your customers scan the complete display. We will show you how.

Many of our customers have asked us to help them select bowls and trays that fit within their budgets. We have now grouped our bowls in three broad categories based on price.
