Everything the side mortise lock tray design tool can do, and the questions people ask before they order. Nothing here costs anything to try.
A glueless tray locked at the sides — each end wall carries a pair of long tabs ending in a MORTISE HEAD, a half circle that reaches the middle of the side wall and is trapped there when that wall rolls over on a narrow strip and its return comes down inside. The width is capped at the length and the height at the width, both theirs. Nothing is glued. 200×150×60 mm.
Type your own length, width and height and the tray is redrawn around them — every crease, tab and lock moves with the size. Pick the board or film here too, and the quantity you want priced. This one opens at 200 × 150 × 60 mm.
PNG, JPG, WEBP or GIF, dragged in or picked from your device. Scale it, rotate it, or send one image across the whole print area.
Fourteen fonts, any colour, with size, weight, letter-spacing and line height on the floating toolbar that appears when text is selected.
Rectangles, ellipses, lines and stars for blocks and rules, plus a searchable icon set for allergen marks, cutlery, leaves and the rest.
A repeating pattern sized by a slider, or a ready-made design you can take apart — change the words, swap the colours, drop your own logo over it.
The flat sheet folds into the finished tray with your print on it. Drag to orbit, right-drag to pan, scroll to zoom — and take a PNG still or a 360° GIF away with you.
Bleed, safe area, fold lines and registration marks each switch on and off behind the eye in the bottom bar, together with the ruler, the panel names and the board colour — so you can read the knife on its own.
In the Design panel: reorder what sits on top, rename a piece, lock it so a drag cannot move it, or hide it while you work on what is underneath.
Hold the design you have, carry on editing, then put the two side by side before you decide.
The design saves itself in this browser as you go — close the tab and it is still here when you come back. It is stored on your own device, so it does not follow you to another computer.
Generates a link to the 3D view that anyone can open for ten days — the way to show a partner or a chef what it will look like.
Sends the design, the size, the board and the quantity to us in one go, with room for up to five of your own files. We price it and come back, normally within one business day.
Yes. Designing, folding it in 3D and changing your mind as often as you like all cost nothing. You only talk to us when you want the job priced.
No. You can design without signing up. We ask for a name, an email and a phone number only when you want a share link, a download or a quote, because that is how the answer reaches you.
No — it saves itself in this browser as you work, and it is waiting when you come back. Because it lives on your own device, open the same page on another computer and you start fresh, so send yourself a share link if you want it to travel.
It is your own artwork wrapped onto the same dieline the press works from, folded along the real creases, so the position, the scale and what lands on which panel are all true. Screen colour is the one thing it cannot promise — for that, ask us for a printed proof.
Send the design with your quote request and the print file comes off it at our end, with the bleed and the safe area kept. If you would rather hand it to your own printer, ask us and we will send the file over.
Anything past the bleed line is trimmed away, exactly as it will be on the press. Turn the bleed and safe-area guides on from the eye in the bottom bar and keep text inside the safe area — the knife has a tolerance, printing is never to the millimetre.
It opens at 200 × 150 × 60 mm, which is the size the die was drawn at. Change any of the three in Config and the tray is redrawn around your numbers — that is what the quote is priced on, not the size it started at.
Trays are priced by custom quote — send the design with the quantity you have in mind and we will price it, usually within one business day.
Yes: full-colour printing inside and out, or plain white and kraft. The inside of a tray is the face a customer looks at while they eat.
Yes. They are made from food-grade clay-coated paperboard that is FDA-compliant and safe in direct contact with food.
The grease-resistant board holds oily fries, nachos and loaded trays without soaking through, so no separate liner is needed.
That is what the design tool is for. Type your own measurements and the dieline is redrawn around them — there is no standard size to squeeze into.
A layered SVG, a 300 dpi PNG or a PDF with the bleed and the safe area kept — or send the design straight to us with your quote request.
