Direct B2B procurement
Validate airline meal trays against menu weight, sealing, chilling, trolley and oven fit, reheating, traceability, forecasts, and delivery windows.
Application Guide
Airline meal foil trays should be evaluated by the complete filled route: loading, lid contact, chilling, stacking, reheating, and service handling.
Airline trays pass through filling, lidding, chilling, trolley loading, aircraft loading, reheating, and service.
Application Guide
A ready-meal foil pack is a system, not just an aluminum tray. The tray geometry, food, coating if used, sealing film or lid, label, freezing conditions, distribution, reheating instruction and consumer handling must pass one end-to-end validation. Aluminum may tolerate a route that the seal layer, adhesive, label or printed component does not, so no component should inherit the metal's temperature claim without its own evidence.
List cooking, portioning, fill temperature, gas or steam load, sealing, cooling, freezing, storage, case packing, transport, retail display, consumer storage, reheating and opening in sequence. Record time, temperature, equipment, stack height and hand-off at each stage.
Product Guide
Choose a compartment foil tray by the meal architecture, not by the number printed in the product name. Define which component is wet, crisp, cold, aromatic, heavy, or small; assign a target fill range to each cell; and decide how much migration is acceptable during heating and delivery. A two-cell S822 and three-cell S823 provide different meal-separation routes, while a multi-cavity baking tray such as SP811 is not automatically a substitute for a divided meal tray. Approve the complete meal, lid, fill order, thermal route, tilt exposure, and service method together.
A divider is useful only when it separates the components that need separation. Put the highest-volume or heaviest item in the cell that best supports it, then place sauces, crisp sides, garnishes, and small loose foods according to their migration risk. Avoid dividing a meal into equal-looking cells when the real portions are unequal.
Buyer Resources
Choose lids by application: board lids for economical takeaway, PET dome lids for display, PP lids for some chilled and delivery routes, and sealing film for automated meal packing.
A foil tray can look correct in a catalog and still fail in real delivery if the lid does not match the rim tightly. The rim profile, rolled edge width, corner radius, tray depth, and filling height all affect how the lid performs.
Size Guide
Start with real Alustar products, then confirm the application, finished-piece specification, lid and packing as one order.

Buyer Resources
MOQ is not one factory-wide number. A plain tray from an existing mold may start with a production-friendly trial quantity, while a printed retail pack, embossed logo, special coating, dedicated lid, new tool, or low-volume mixed SKU adds a separate material or setup minimum. Break the project into tray, lid, artwork, carton, tooling, and shipment MOQs before negotiating a launch plan.

For most buyers, the fastest custom packaging route is to use an existing tray mold, confirm lid fit, then customize carton, label, embossing, or sleeve before considering new tooling.

Yes, but heating equipment, temperature, lid material, and catering process must be checked together.
Not always. Many projects can start from an existing mold if the size and lid system match.
No blanket claim should be made. Validate the exact tray, coating if any, food, fill, seal or lid, label, storage, equipment, time, temperature, support and handling instruction as one route.
Rim geometry and cleanliness, film and sealant construction, machine condition, temperature, pressure, dwell, food contamination and post-seal cooling or freezing all matter. Establish a documented operating window on the real line.
