Sabert Corporation Europe has launched a full off-the-shelf range of Tray2Go – a fully recyclable packaging solution for sushi, other chilled food-to-go, confectionery and bakery products.
The popularity of sushi has been increasing for several years and continued to surge during the pandemic, driven by delivery services such as Just Eat, Deliveroo, and Uber Eats. In August 2023, Tesco announced that sushi had overtaken the traditional sandwich as the UK’s fastest growing premium lunchtime main meal.
“Sushi is vibrant, colourful, attractive and appetising” said Sabert’s UK&I Managing Director and European Commercial Director, Alex Noake. “It’s more than a food, it’s a form of art, and eating it is an experience balanced between taste, texture and presentation.
“As a developer and manufacturer of practical and easy to use foodservice packaging, Sabert’s mission has always been to make food look great – and that is part of the rationale behind the development of our new Tray2Go range – but the other driving force is sustainability.
“Tray2Go is made using sustainable materials and is fully recyclable. The board bases, manufactured in the UK, are made with Forestry Stewardship Council FSC® certified material, while the lids are made from rPET, at our facility in Belgium, and comprise a minimum of 50% recycled material.”
Multifunctional, versatile and sustainable
Practical to use, the new multifunctional and versatile Tray2Go range features a robust and durable double-wall tray design, coupled with an innovative secure fitting click-lock lid.
With Tray2Go, Sabert has achieved its goals of delivering a fully recyclable multifunctional packaging solution – made using sustainable materials – which is practical and easy to use, while making the food look great.
Ideal for chilled food-to-go, notably sushi, and for confectionery and bakery products, Tray2Go is immediately available in four standard sizes, with the remaining three sizes following in August. Custom sizing is also an option.
Tray2Go range features a robust and durable double-wall tray designed for efficient nesting and secure stacking, coupled with an innovative click-lock lid, which delivers excellent product visibility.
The secure fitting high-clarity click-lock lid locks securely in place, offering great product protection for food-on-the-go and delivery, and enables one-hand closure for more efficient preparation in the manufacturing process.
Available in kraft, black, or white – which is ideal for bespoke printing and customisation – the tray has an inner PE varnish and a GR coating on one side for additional oil and grease resistance. The recessed (footed) base also offers added protection from wet food preparation conveyor belts and manufacturing processes whilst still providing excellent ‘nestability’. Further to enhance functionality, the feet also offer a premium design, and this new innovative concept is fully patented by Sabert.
“Tray2Go represents a practical and sustainable solution for the presentation of sushi, other chilled food-to-go, confectionery and bakery products, and the design enables easy use in food preparation,” says Alex Noake. “True to our slogan: ‘Sabert makes food look great’, Tray2Go delivers stand-out shelf presence and premium product presentation.
“Tray2Go joins Deli2Go and the award-winning Snap2Go – expanding Sabert’s range of innovative and sustainable foodservice packaging solutions. Later this summer we will also see the official launch of the brand new Hot2Go dual-ovenable, natural fibre, lamination-free solution. It’s exciting times at Sabert.
“We have over 40 years’ experience in providing innovative, value-added products to the highest quality standards, supported by outstanding customer service. Our mission is to offer our clients the best guarantees in terms of quality, safety and service, so you could say Sabert is the ‘go to’ for all a foodservice operator’s sustainable 2Go foodservice packaging solutions.”
