Why Cardboard Produce Trays Are the Backbone of Fresh Supply Chains

At Garthwest, we know a thing or two about fresh produce. We also know what it takes to get that produce from farm to fork without bruising apples or breaking the bank. That’s why our cardboard produce trays don’t mess about. They do the job, and they do it brilliantly.

We’re not in the business of flimsy, generic packaging. Our trays are built for the hard graft of wholesale, retail and everything in between. Whether you’re packing crisp lettuces or juicy grapes, our trays keep produce protected, stacked neatly, and displayed with style.

Let’s break it down.

A Packaging Solution That Works Harder Than You Think

Our cardboard produce trays are more than just boxes. They’re engineered containers, custom-made for fruit and veg in all shapes and sizes. Need ventilation? Sorted. Want strength for heavy melons? Done. Every tray includes cut-out handles, reinforced corners and airflow-friendly holes. These little details make a massive difference when it comes to freshness, durability and convenience.

We offer industry-standard sizes (60cm x 40cm and 40cm x 30cm) and the design can be tailored to suit your specific produce. Whether you need stackable trays for apples or secure bases for tender tomatoes, we’ll make it happen.

From Flat-Pack to Shelf in Minutes

No one wants bulky packaging taking up precious space. That’s why our trays arrive flat-packed. You save on transport. You save on storage. When you’re ready, just assemble by hand or go automatic with a TECO T2N tray former, we’re the UK distributor, by the way.

With the TECO machine, you can automate assembly and fly through production. It folds and glues trays on demand, helping your team work faster without lifting a finger. We install it. We train your staff. And we keep it running like clockwork.

Fresh Produce Deserves Better Display

Presentation matters. Our trays not only protect your produce, but they also show it off. The open-top design keeps everything visible, accessible and inviting. Your team can restock quickly. Customers can browse without hassle. The result? Better sales. Less waste.

You’ll also love how our trays stack. Perfectly. Vertically. Securely. Whether you’re working in a tight storeroom or a bustling market stall, they save space and simplify life.

Sustainability at the Core

Let’s not forget what really counts, the planet. Our cardboard trays are 100% recyclable and made from responsibly sourced materials. So you’re not just ticking boxes for quality, you’re backing a cleaner future. That’s packaging with purpose.
