When should you choose this style?
Choose a 0300 tray box when your product is shallow, easy to handle, or needs quick access from the top. It is a good option when you want a practical tray base instead of a full-depth carton.
This style works especially well for products that need simple presentation, organised packing, or a neat shallow base for display and handling.
How to assemble a 0300 tray box
- Lay the flat blank on a clean surface.
- Fold up the side panels along the creased lines.
- Bring the end panels into position.
- Lock or fold the corners as designed.
- Check that the tray sits square and level.
- Place your product inside the finished tray.
The exact fold pattern can vary slightly, but the main benefit of this style is quick assembly and easy access to the packed product.
How to measure the tray
Trays are normally measured in this order: Length x Width x Height.
Length
The longest side of the tray opening.
Width
The shorter side of the tray opening.
Height
The depth of the tray from the base to the top edge.
For custom orders, measurements are usually based on the internal size. This means the usable space inside the tray so your product fits properly.
Board strength explained simply
The right board grade depends on the weight of your product, how the tray will be handled, and whether it is being used for display or transit support.
Single Wall
Single Wall board is suitable for many lighter products and is often a good choice for shallow retail or presentation trays.
Double Wall
Double Wall board is thicker and stronger, making it more suitable for heavier products or trays that need added durability.
Stronger custom options
For more demanding products or heavier contents, stronger board grades may be available to improve support and long-term use.
Mobile users can swipe sideways to compare strength options.
