How do SOLUT! disposable baking trays and paper food trays compare to plastic, aluminum foil, and other baking & food packaging products?
SOLUT! disposable paper food trays are a unique, reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly packaging alternative to plastic, CPET, aluminum foil, hard metal, and traditional paper and corrugated paper trays.
Maximum Strength & Rigidity
SOLUT! commercial baking trays are made with corrugated paperboard to provide maximum strength and rigidity in standard large format sizes such as a ¼ sheet cake and 1/2 sheet cake tray. Our disposable party trays and plates utilize the same unique corrugated paperboard construction as our commercial baking trays and paper food trays to provide excellent strength and rigidity in standard large format sizes such as 16” and 18” round party trays.
Large & Small Sizes
In addition to the large format stock paper food trays, SOLUT! also offers individual portion sizes such as an 8 ounce and 10 ounce round containers made with renewable paperboard. Even these smaller portion sizes are a functional and very cost-effective alternative to traditional portion containers in CPET, aluminum foil, or Novacart-style trays.
From Freezer to Oven or Microwave
All of our disposable bakeware is dual-ovenable (microwave and conventional/convection oven) and is recommended for typical operating conditions from -40 degrees Fahrenheit to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for up to one hour (can be hotter or longer depending on the application). Unlike CPET, SOLUT! bakeware can be cooked directly on the oven rack and does not get soft at high temperatures or brittle in frozen temperatures.
Cost Effective
In addition to being a sustainable food packaging alternative, SOLUT! paper food products are also very cost-effective relative to plastic and aluminum foil materials. Because our stock lines of food service packaging are made of paper, we can avoid the unpredictable and unprecedented constant cost increases of plastic and aluminum packaging. Ovenable plastic trays, or CPET, are a petroleum-based product that is subject to the rapidly escalating costs of oil. Aluminum foil production is an extremely energy intensive process that is significantly effected by the high costs of oil and natural gas used from mining the raw material to refining the aluminum into finished packaging. These production cost increases are passed along to the buyer of aluminum foil trays. While the cost of paper does go up over time, it increases at a much slower and more predictable rate than plastic or aluminum. This enables the users of SOLUT! disposable bakeware and party trays to more effectively manager their packaging costs over a longer period of time.
Environmentally Friendly
All SOLUT! disposable bakeware and food service trays are manufactured in the USA with recyclable and renewable paperboard materials. Our stock lines of sustainable food packaging are the only truly ‘GREEN’ packaging alternatives in the areas of commercial baking trays and disposable party trays. SOLUT! also provides the convenience of disposability for all of their commercial bakeware and paper tray all at a cost-effective price.
Ships Efficiently
Unlike traditional corrugated set-up trays, SOLUT! disposable baking pans are preformed and ‘nested’ into each other to eliminate set-up labor costs and minimize freight costs for maximum shipping efficiency. Also, SOLUT! paper baking trays eliminate the headaches and high costs associated with metal detection aluminum foil.
Custom Print Available
Our unique corrugated paperboard technology enables SOLUT! to offer custom print capabilities to enhance your catering, deli or commercial brand. SOLUT! party trays are also ideal for food processors manufacturing pre-packed dessert and appetizer trays.
SOLUT! can provide a more cost effective solution for all of your commercial disposable bakeware and commercial paper tray needs.
