Protective Coatings for Menu Trays

Reliable protection for retort-resistant menu trays

Aluminum menu trays are characterized by numerous advantages. They are extremely durable, extend the shelf life of food thanks to their excellent barrier properties and help to avoid food waste thanks to packaging units that are tailored to individual needs. At the same time, menu trays must not impair the quality of the contents and must precisely meet the visual requirements of brand owners.

Our protective coatings for menu trays are resistant to sterilization even after deep drawing and meet the high requirements for food and pet food. A wide range of colors enables individual and brand-specific designs.
