How to use this mockup

  1. Start from the 300 × 200 × 80 mm sample or type your own size.
  2. Design straight on its real dieline.
  3. Turn it in 3D, export a picture or video, or stage a scene.

Trade tips

  • Handling marks (fragile, this way up) go in an upper corner, at least 20 mm high.
  • Print the logo on two adjacent sides so the name shows however the cartons are stacked.
  • On brown corrugated, colours print darker than on screen: proof on kraft first.
  • Unlaminated paper keeps its natural feel but scuffs easily: fine for short-lived packs.

Questions

Is the vented produce tray mockup free?

Yes, commercial use included; Free adds a watermark grid at 1K, Pro exports 4K without it.

Can I use my own size for the vented produce tray?

Yes — from the 300 × 200 × 80 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.

Can I get the vented produce tray dieline for printing?

Yes, with Pro: the die files (SVG, PDF / AI, DXF / CF2) and the CMYK print PDF; designing on the die is free.

What is the vented produce tray sample printed on?

The sample is brown-liner corrugated board with no lamination, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.

Construction

One-piece FEFCO 04xx-style trays: the base sits in the middle, four walls fold up, and the corners are either web corners folded diagonally or held by locking tabs, so there is no gap for oil or sauce to leak through. Variants add flared walls, boat-shaped ends, flap lids, double lids, a carry handle formed from two half lids, a cup holder or vents. Trays ship flat and are set up by hand in seconds without glue.

Choosing board and material

E flute (about 1.5 mm) or F/micro flute (under 1 mm) with brown or white kraft liners for food trays; large produce and display trays use B flute. Fried, oily or saucy food needs a grease-resistant liner or a PE-coated inside that is food-contact compliant; dry bakery items can sit on uncoated white kraft.

Finishing

One- or two-colour flexo in food-safe water-based ink on the outside is the norm; display trays that need photo graphics are printed offset and laminated onto E flute. Never laminate the food-contact face; leave the inside plain or PE-coated only.

Preparing the print file

Design on the cross-shaped flat layout: base in the centre, four walls and the web-corner gussets around it. The triangle in a web corner folds inside, so text placed there vanishes or ends up upside down; put the logo in the middle of a long wall. The inside base is where the food sits — keep it plain or use a light pattern.

Common mistakes

  • Solid colour inside a tray for fried food: oil soaks in, the ink bleeds and can mark the food.
  • A logo across the web-corner gusset: when the tray is set up, it folds in half inside the corner.
  • B flute for a small hot dog tray: the walls are too thick, the web corners won't tuck and the tray springs open.
  • Produce-tray vents cut close to the base score: the tray cracks when lifted full.

Questions and answers

How does the vented produce tray differ from the hand-hole tray?

It has vents on every wall so heat and moisture escape, suiting leafy greens, ripe fruit and hot bakery items; the 300 × 200 × 80 mm sample is smaller than the hand-hole tray.

Do hot pastries go soggy in a vented tray?

The vents let steam out, so crusts stay crisper than in a closed tray; still lay greaseproof paper under the pastries.

What is a web corner on a paper tray?

A corner that isn't cut apart: the board at the corner folds diagonally into a triangle that presses against the wall, so the corner is sealed and sauce can't leak.

Are corrugated trays safe for hot food?

Yes, when the board and inks are food-contact compliant and the inside is grease-resistant or PE-coated; avoid recycled board of unknown origin on the food-contact face.

Do folding trays need glue?

Most FEFCO 04xx trays are set up by folding and locking tabs alone; some fast-food trays come with corners pre-glued at the factory so the shop can set them up faster.
