Perfect fit for a standard dog with all the fixings, and the clay-coated board keeps chili and mustard from soaking through on the way to the customer. Our cart logo printed on them looks fantastic and professional.
Franks & Co. Hot Dog Cart
Wholesale paper food trays for restaurants, food trucks, concession stands and delis across the USA. Our trays follow the standard US sizing, from a #25 snack tray up to a #500 sharing tray, in natural kraft, bright white or twin-layer corrugated board.
Every tray is clay-coated and grease-resistant on the inside, so fries, wings and nachos stay put without a separate liner. Order them plain, or printed full-colour with your logo. There is no minimum order, shipping across the USA is free, and you can preview your artwork on a 3D tray before you commit.

Franks & Co. Hot Dog Cart
We serve all our fries and tenders in these and they hold up to a heavy, greasy load without leaking or going limp. The custom print looks sharp in the basket and our branding finally matches the quality of the food.
Patty Stack
We move a huge volume of dogs on game days and these trays make service fast and tidy. They are sturdy, hold a loaded dog without bending, and the branded print gives our stand a polished look.
Ballpark Bites Concessions
These trays upgraded our whole takeout presentation, and burgers, fries and sides all look franchise-level in our branded trays. Grease stays put and they never fall apart even under a juicy double.
The Grind Burger Bar
We use these for our corn dogs and loaded fries too and they have held up great. Grease-resistant, the right size, and the custom print looks clean on every one. Easy to reorder as well.
Main Street Diner
We go through thousands of these at fairs and festivals and they never disappoint. Sturdy enough for nachos and cheese fries, grease-resistant, and the custom design makes our stand pop in a sea of vendors.
Sunset Concessions
Great sturdy food trays that are perfect for loaded fries and nachos at our stand, and they stack and dispense easily during a rush. Four stars only because I would love an even deeper option for our jumbo portions.
Boardwalk Fries
Good hot dog trays for our food truck that handle brats and loaded dogs well and just work every time. Four stars only because I would like a wider option for our double-dog special.
Diego Morales
Solid food trays for our food truck that handle everything from chicken tenders to street corn. The print came out clean and bright and reordering was simple, though a slightly larger size would round out the range.
Marcus Rivera
Reliable trays that fit our coneys perfectly and keep everything contained without a mess. The branding turned out nice and they arrived well-packaged, a solid buy for a busy hot dog spot.
Coney Corner
Really handy trays for serving baskets at our cafe, clean-looking with our logo and holding up to both hot and cold items. Delivery took a couple of extra days but the quality was well worth it.

Paper food trays are the open, one-piece boards that fast-casual kitchens, food trucks, stadiums and delis serve straight into a customer’s hands. They hold a portion without a lid, stack flat in storage, and dispense fast during a rush — which is why they have replaced plastic baskets in most US food-service settings.
Trays follow a standard US numbering system, and the number is roughly the weight the tray holds. Picking the right one matters more than most buyers expect: too small and food spills over the side, too large and portions look mean.
If none of these fit your portion, trays can be made to your own dimensions. Most kitchens end up stocking two sizes — a #100 for standard sides and a #300 or #500 for shared plates.
All three options below are food-grade and grease-resistant on the inside, so you do not need a separate liner. The difference is how they look and how much weight they carry.
Trays can be ordered plain or printed full-colour with your logo, pattern and brand colours, using food-safe inks on FDA-compliant, BPA-free board. There is no minimum order on trays, so a single food truck can start with a short run and reorder as volume grows. Most orders are completed within 4 to 6 business days after you approve the digital proof, and shipping across the USA is free.
You can also lay your artwork onto a 3D tray in our free online tray designer before you ask for a quote, so you see exactly how the print wraps around the corners.

We follow the standard US tray numbering: #25 (¼ lb), #50 (½ lb), #100 (1 lb), #200 (2 lb), #300 (3 lb) and #500 (5 lb). The number reflects roughly how much the tray holds, so a #100 fits a regular portion of fries or tenders and a #500 suits sharing portions and loaded nachos. Custom sizes are available on request.
No. The trays are clay-coated and grease-resistant on the inside, so oil and moisture are controlled without a liner. Many kitchens still add a printed basket liner or sheet of fry paper for presentation rather than for function.
A #100 tray suits a regular portion of fries or chicken tenders. Go to #200 for loaded fries and nachos, and #300 or #500 for wings, sliders, combos and sharing portions. For hot dogs and corn dogs we make dedicated hot dog trays.
Yes. Trays are made from food-grade kraft or SBS paperboard in one piece, are BPA-free and use FDA-compliant materials, so they are safe for direct contact with hot and cold food.
Paper trays are made for serving, not reheating. Short warming is usually fine for a plain uncoated tray, but a coated tray is not intended for the microwave or the oven. If your customers reheat their food, tell us and we will recommend a board for that.
No. There is no minimum order on trays. Pricing is by quote and depends on the size, board, number of print colours and quantity, so larger runs cost less per tray.
Natural brown kraft for a rustic look, bright white board when you want printed colours to stand out, or twin-layer corrugated board when you need extra rigidity and some heat insulation for hot meals and bento-style sets.
Yes. Use the free tray designer to put your artwork on a 3D tray and see how it wraps before you commit. You will still get a digital proof to approve before we print.
