3lb Kraft Greenspirit Food Tray – 500 Per Case (2×250) | 7.6c Per Tray | Free Ireland Delivery

Quick Summary: 3lb · corrugated kraft paperboard · water-based grease-resistant coating · 500 per case (2×250) · 7.6c per tray · compostable · free delivery across Ireland

The 3lb is the largest format in the range — the tray for portions that genuinely need maximum capacity. Not the default main meal format — that’s the 2lb. Not the generous individual portion — that’s the 2.5lb. The 3lb is the decision: the operator serving family-size portions, sharing platters, large catering servings or festival food where the 2.5lb is consistently too small for the food. Corrugated kraft paperboard, water-based grease-resistant coating, no plastic lining, compostable. 500 per case (2×250) — half the case count of the smaller formats, reflecting the larger tray size.

Key Features

• 3lb capacity — largest in the range – The right format for family-size portions, sharing platters and large catering servings where the 2.5lb is consistently too small for the food
• 7.6c per tray — 500 per case (2×250) – 0.8c more per tray than the 2.5lb; the highest-capacity format in the range at €38.23 per case. Note: 500 per case vs 1000 for the three smaller formats
• Corrugated kraft paperboard — maximum strength – The corrugated construction handles the weight of a full family portion or loaded sharing tray without buckling; stronger than single-wall trays under heavy food loads
• Water-based grease-resistant coating – Keeps oils, sauces and moisture from soaking through during service; no plastic lining, fully compostable
• Compostable in commercial composting facilities – No plastic lining, no contamination of the composting stream; the direct replacement for polystyrene large meal trays
• Food-grade certified – Safe for direct food contact across hot and cold applications
• Natural kraft finish – Clean, honest brown kraft look that suits chippers, festival food, street food and eco-conscious food brands
• Flat storage, stackable – Stores flat and stacks neatly; saves prep space in tight kitchens and outdoor service environments

Who Uses These Trays

• Chippers & fish and chip shops – Family-size portions, large mixed boxes and loaded chipper trays where the 2.5lb is consistently too small; the corrugated construction handles the weight of a full family portion without buckling
• Food festivals & outdoor event caterers – Generous portions for festival crowds where the 3lb format gives a large serving the right tray without the food looking cramped or the tray overfilled
• Street food vendors & food trucks – Maximum-capacity hot food portions at markets and events where the corrugated construction handles heavy loads in outdoor service conditions
• Catering companies & event caterers – Large individual hot meal portions and sharing platters at events and functions where a professional, compostable large food tray is required

• Eco-conscious food brands – Operations replacing large polystyrene meal trays to meet EU single-use plastics regulations or event sustainability requirements

Technical Specifications

When the 2.5lb Is Too Small

A 2.5lb tray that’s consistently overloaded has the same problem as any wrong-size tray — food over the rim, no clean way to cover it, portion shifting when the customer picks it up. The 3lb gives a family-size portion, a loaded sharing tray, or a large catering serving the space to sit properly — food fills the tray without overflowing, the tray handles the weight without buckling, and the portion looks like it was packed deliberately.

Dublin and Cork chippers and fish and chip shops use the 3lb for family-size portions and large mixed boxes where the 2.5lb is consistently too small. Galway and Limerick food festivals, street food vendors and outdoor event caterers use it for generous portions where the 3lb format gives a large serving the right tray without the food looking cramped. Food trucks and outdoor catering operations in Belfast and Derry use it for maximum-capacity hot food portions at markets and events where the corrugated construction handles heavy loads in outdoor service conditions. Catering companies and food businesses across Sligo, Donegal and Cavan use it for large individual hot meal portions and sharing platters at events and functions.

At 7.6c per tray — 0.8c more than the 2.5lb — the 3lb is the right format for any portion that consistently overloads the generous size. The cost of the right tray is less than the cost of the wrong one.
