The Serving & Presentation Layer — Built to Carry, Hold and Present.
Trays are the serving and presentation layer that complements the Foliware tray and bowl range. Three rectangular working formats, each with a defined job: a 15.5″×10″ large tray for buffets and sharing platters, a 9″×6″ deep tray whose raised well holds curries and full meal boxes, and a 6″×4.5″ snack tray for starters and single-serve. Heat-pressed from naturally shed areca palm leaf sheaths — water and heat only, no dyes, coatings or added chemicals. ISO-certified manufacturing, third-party lab-tested at batch level.
Indicative manufacturer pricing shown below for planning. All cartons are shrink-packed and dispatch-ready. Single-carton orders accepted for every format. Final rates are confirmed on quote by format, volume and delivery location.

Foliware operates a structured, ISO-certified manufacturing facility supplying hospitality, catering, institutions, event management companies, dealers, distributors, retail partners, and export buyers — with consistent quality, documented processes, and verified packing at every carton.
Reliable procurement partners require more than competitive pricing. They require production consistency, hygiene assurance, and supply predictability that eliminates operational risk.
Calibrated steel moulds for each variant ensure consistent tray dimensions, rim profiles, and wall thickness — eliminating dimensional variation endemic to unorganised supply.
All leaf material is cleaned with drinking-water-standard process water. No bleach, dyes, adhesives, or chemical additives at any production stage.
25 trays per shrink-wrapped inner pack (20 for 12″), 12 packs per sealed master carton. Counts verified at packing stage. No short-fills, no loose counts.
The same certified palm-leaf sheath, pressed into three rectangular tray formats that map to real service needs — from a 6″×4.5″ snack tray to a 15.5″×10″ large serving tray, plus a deep-welled 9″×6″ for meals and curries.
Every Foliware tray begins as a sheath that the areca palm drops on its own, after the frond matures and separates. Nothing is harvested green and no tree is felled, so the supply renews on the plantation's own cycle. Foliware aggregates these sheaths through organised grower networks in South India, which is what allows five formats to be produced to the same grade rather than whatever a single village collector happens to gather.
Foliware trays are not random sizes — they are the serving and presentation layer that sits alongside the plate and bowl range. Each rectangular format has a defined job, from carrying a full meal to presenting a single snack.
The 15.5″×10″ large and 6″×4.5″ snack formats give a broad, flat presentation surface — for buffets, grazing platters, sweets and single-serve display.
The 9″×6″ format adds a raised rim and a deeper well, so it holds curries, gravies and full meal boxes without spilling — built for cloud-kitchen and catering meal trays.
Procurement decisions based solely on unit price frequently overlook the operational cost embedded in inconsistent supply.
“A lower apparent unit price from unorganised supply frequently results in a higher actual operational cost when rejection rates, under-counts, wastage, and logistics inconsistencies are factored in.”

Foliware’s certifications are independently audited, not self-declared. Every claim on this page reflects documented manufacturing practice and third-party verification.
International Food Safety Management Standard. Covers hazard analysis, process controls, and documented procedures at every production stage — from raw material intake to finished carton packing.
Quality Management System certification covering production repeatability, process control, supplier qualification, and customer satisfaction monitoring across all batch runs.
Each production batch is tested for microbiological safety and heavy metals screening. Results confirm levels below detectable limits under established analytical methods.
Foliware trays are specified and tested for the conditions found in real hospitality and catering operations — not just laboratory benchmarks.
A 15.5″×10″ large serving tray for buffets, a deep 9″×6″ for meals and curries, and a 6″×4.5″ snack tray — the full presentation layer for the tray and bowl range, from a single ISO-certified manufacturer.
No synthetic coatings, plastic linings, or chemical binders. Trays are suitable for short-duration reheating under standard microwave conditions. Areca palm leaf sheath fibre throughout.
No bleach, no dyes, no PFAS coatings. Areca palm leaf sheath fibre — processed with water and heat only. Validated by independent third-party lab testing at batch level.
Compressed areca fibre gives the trays load-bearing rigidity, and the raised rim on the 9″×6″ deep format contains curries, gravies and oil-rich preparations that would soak through paper alternatives.
All three tray formats nest cleanly without interlock or binding, enabling compact storage and rapid deployment during high-volume catering, banquet and cloud-kitchen service.
Each tray is a single natural input — areca palm leaf sheath — with no plastic lining, wax coating, or synthetic polymers. A credible, documented eco-conscious alternative to single-use plastic or wax-coated paper serving trays.
A disposable tray is used for one meal and discarded by the thousand. That is exactly why the material it is made of matters more here than almost anywhere else in a kitchen. An areca tray is a single plant-based material with no synthetic polymers, so after one service it can be routed to the organic / wet-waste stream instead of sitting in landfill long after the meal is forgotten.
A sheath the palm sheds anyway, so the tray adds no new demand on land or trees.
Holds rice, curry, and gravy through an entire sitting without going soft or leaking.
One clean material with no liner or coating to separate, so spent trays can join the wet / green-waste stream rather than the landfill.
That is all a disposable tray is used for. Multiply it across a banquet hall or a canteen and the choice of material decides whether that single use ends as organic waste or permanent landfill.
A tray fails differently from a cup or a bag. It fails mid-meal, in a guest's hands, with food on it. Here is how the common options hold up against a loaded tray.

Short, specific answers for the things a catering manager or distributor needs to know before placing a first carton.
For a single-meal box or a main with sides and curry, the 9″×6″ deep rectangular tray is the usual choice — its raised well holds gravies. The 15.5″×10″ large tray suits buffets and sharing platters, and the 6″×4.5″ snack tray fits starters and single-serve. Most caterers stock two or three formats rather than one.
No. The sheath is pressed dense enough to hold wet, oily, gravy-based food for the length of a meal without seeping or going soft, and the deep 9″×6″ format adds a raised rim to contain liquids. There is no coating doing this job — the leaf itself is naturally water-resistant.
It depends on the format: the 15.5″×10″ large tray packs 10 to a pack and 6 packs per carton (60 trays); the 9″×6″ deep tray packs 25 × 8 (200 trays); the 6″×4.5″ snack tray packs 25 × 12 (300 trays). Minimum order is one carton, and you can split across formats.
Yes, for short reheating. With no plastic or wax layer there is nothing to melt or warp in a quick warm-up. For long cooking cycles, move the food to ceramic or glass — the same advice that applies to any fibre tableware.
Yes. Production runs under ISO 22000:2018 food-safety management and ISO 9001:2015, and batches are third-party lab-tested for microbial safety and heavy metals. Nothing but palm leaf touches the food — no bleach, dye, or binder is used.
The prices shown here are indicative placeholders for planning — from around ₹150 per pack, with carton values between ₹1,800 and ₹2,520 depending on format. Firm rates are confirmed on quote by format, volume and delivery location; request a quote with your formats and monthly quantity.
Foliware’s packing system reduces transit damage, eliminates under-counts, and improves operational predictability for bulk buyers across all 3 tray formats.
Structured packing from Foliware reduces the operational costs embedded in lower-priced supply: accurate tray counts eliminate short-fill adjustments; reduced rejection rates lower actual cost-per-usable-unit; consistent geometry across orders removes the incoming inspection burden at scale. The result is a supply relationship that delivers measurable operational efficiency over unorganised sourcing alternatives.
