What a fast-food tray is for
The open tray a burger and fries come in: four walls raked out, a folded lip all round the mouth, and a pleated gusset glued flat at each corner. It is the one glued tray in the range, and the glue is what lets the corners be completely sealed rather than merely folded.
Sealed corners matter when the food is greasy and the tray is carried on a lap or in a bag. The folded lip does the other half of the job: it stiffens the mouth so the tray does not splay when it is picked up full, and it gives a clean edge rather than a raw cut.
At 199 by 141 by 49 mm it is a single-meal tray. The raked walls mean it nests for storage, and the flat base is the surface a photograph sees. Burger counters, fried chicken, breakfast service, diners and delivery kitchens are the buyers.
Being the only glued tray here, it arrives already made rather than flat — which saves a kitchen the folding and costs it the cupboard. A thousand made-up trays take several times the space of a thousand flat blanks. That is the real choice between this tray and the glueless ones: counter time against storage, and which of the two a kitchen is shorter of.
