A Long, Shallow Colored Tray for Bar-Shaped Portions

Most colored foil containers are built around depth. The SR2009-252 goes the other way: nearly 200mm long, 94mm wide, and only 21mm deep. That proportions it for products that present better laid out than stacked—sliced loaf cakes, financiers and brownie bars, layered terrines, éclair and choux lines, and chilled appetizer or sushi sets. The colored exterior turns the tray itself into the packaging, so the product ships and sells in the same piece it was baked or assembled in.

Why a 21mm Shallow Wall

Shallow trays expose more of the product surface to view and to heat. In baking, a low wall lets batters and doughs color evenly on top without the pale, steamed edge that deep pans can produce, and it shortens bake times on bar-style recipes. In chilled applications, the low rim keeps garnishes and glazes fully visible under a clear lid, which is what drives impulse pickup in display cases. The 252ml fill volume keeps portions in the single-serve to two-person sharing band.

Color Finish Built for the Full Temperature Cycle

The exterior lacquer is applied to the formed tray as a heat-resistant, food-safe coating. It holds color through 220°C baking and -40°C blast freezing without flaking or yellowing, and the food-contact interior stays plain food-grade aluminum. Gold and black are the standard retail finishes, white suits minimalist and patisserie branding, and custom shades are matched against a physical sample or Pantone reference before production.

Rim, Lidding, and Shelf Presentation

The full-curl vertical rim rolls the top edge into a continuous stiff bead, so the long 198mm span resists bowing when trays are stacked or carried by the ends. Crimp-on foil-laminated board lids fold over the curl for a tamper-evident seal, and low-profile clear lids are available for display programs. The smooth exterior wall takes printed sleeves and adhesive labels without wrinkles, and the base can be embossed with a logo for private-label runs.

Where This Tray Fits in a Product Line

Within the colored smooth-wall family, the SR2009-252 covers the elongated shallow segment that round cups and square pans cannot. Buyers typically pair it with a deeper rectangular model for layered desserts and a round cup for single portions, giving the range a consistent color finish across three formats. Adjacent long-format sizes in the same series run up to 1116ml for sharing and catering portions.

FAQs

What products suit a long, shallow tray like the SR2009-252?

The 198×94mm footprint with a 21mm wall suits loaf and bar-shaped products: sliced pound cake, financiers, brownie bars, layered terrines, and éclair or choux lines. In chilled and deli channels it works for appetizer sets, sushi, and tapas-style assortments where a wide visible surface sells the product.

Does the colored coating hold up in the oven?

Yes. The heat-resistant exterior lacquer is rated to 220°C and stays stable through blast freezing at -40°C. It does not flake, blister, or transfer to food—the interior remains plain food-grade aluminum throughout the temperature cycle.

What lids fit this tray?

The full-curl vertical rim accepts crimp-on foil-laminated board lids that fold over the rolled edge for a tamper-evident close, plus low-profile clear lids for display. Printed lid stock with your artwork can be supplied once specifications are confirmed.

Can the exterior be matched to our brand color?

Yes. Gold, black, and white are standard. For custom shades we match against a physical sample or Pantone reference and send pre-production samples for approval. Both metallic and matte effects are available, and the base can carry an embossed logo.

What are the MOQ and packing details for colored trays?

Colored trays run as dedicated production lots, so minimums sit above plain-silver equivalents, and embossing or printed lids add their own minimums. Trays ship nested in export cartons. Send your target color, lid, and volume and we will confirm MOQ and sampling within one working day.
