The SY-format SR2009-252 is a 252ml (8.5 oz) rectangular colored foil tray in a long, shallow 198×94mm profile, finished in oven-stable gold, black, or custom exterior lacquers. At 21mm deep it suits loaf cakes, brownie bars, terrines, and appetizer or sushi presentations where a low rim and a wide visible surface matter more than volume.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
