Trends End of Year 2024: Sustainability and Convenience with Multicompartment Trays and Mini Trays
Multicompartment Trays: Efficiency and Convenience in One
Multicompartment trays are the trend for year-end 2024. They offer the ideal solution for packing and displaying multiple food items in one tray. Whether it’s a healthy snack or a ready-to-eat meal, these trays offer a practical and convenient way to keep multiple products separate, while providing an aesthetically pleasing presentation.
At Greenflex, we understand that consumers increasingly value convenience and quality, and that’s exactly what multicompartment trays excel at. They offer the ability to package different products such as vegetables, fruits, meats or snacks without mixing them together. This prevents waste, ensures a longer shelf life and makes it easier for consumers to put together their meals quickly and efficiently. For businesses, this means increased customer satisfaction and less waste through more efficient use of packaging.
Sustainability as a Spearhead
What makes multicompartment trays special is not only their ease of use, but also the sustainable materials with which they are produced at Greenflex. This contributes to minimizing the carbon footprint of packaging, one of the current trends affecting not only consumers, but also companies that want to present themselves as sustainable and forward-looking.
Mini Trays: Perfect for Small Portions and Sustainable Packaging
Mini trays are the perfect solution for the smaller, more focused packaging consumers are looking for in today’s era of personal preferences and portion control.
Mini trays can serve as packaging for appetizers, spreads, tapenades, salads or desserts and fit perfectly within the trend of portion control and the convenience of appetizers without waste or leftovers afterwards.
The smaller sizes are ideal for consumers looking for convenience and a smaller carbon footprint without sacrificing the shelf life of their food.
A Sustainable Packaging for Tapas or Appetizers
Like the larger multicompartment trays, our mini trays are also made from FSC-certified cardboard, which perfectly matches the growing demand for sustainable and practical packaging. This trend continues, especially during the holiday season, when consumers are increasingly opting for smaller, responsible purchases for their festive meals and snacks.
A key advantage of our trays is that they replace the traditional plastic trays often used for tapas or appetizers. Consumers often transfer these plastic trays into ceramic cups for a nicer presentation. With our cardboard packaging, which can be printed as desired, this is no longer necessary. The packaging can be placed directly on the table, which not only saves time and effort, but also ensures a stylish and durable presentation.
Growing Demand for Sustainable Food Packaging
The sharing economy and the trend of sharing & caring are behind this rise of sustainable packaging solutions such as multicompartment trays and mini trays.
Consumers not only want tasty and convenient meals, but also products that contribute to a sustainable future. They are more often choosing companies that are committed to green initiatives and responsible product development.
For example, our PaperSeal trays are perfectly recyclable, even if the consumer does not separate the plastic liner from the cardboard, the cardboard is recycled in a standard recycling system. This tray is therefore designed to meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging in the food industry.
