About this product

The EVC30043 is a corrugated tray designed for retail display and pallet stacking. It features raised corner posts that carry vertical loads, while the dipped side panels keep the product visible and accessible on the shelf.

Unlike fold-together trays, this design relies on adhesive to secure its shape. All four walls fold over 180 degrees to create a double-thick perimeter, making it a strong fit for automated tray-forming lines and demanding retail environments.

Common uses

Shelf-ready packaging (SRP)
Produce and agricultural trays
Beverage or heavy jar trays
Club store multi-packs

Practical Uses for the Raised-Corner Tray

Shelf-Ready Packaging (SRP)

The dipped profile on the long walls allows shoppers to easily see and reach the product, while the raised corners provide the structural support needed to stack multiple trays on a pallet or retail shelf.

Produce and Agricultural Goods

The double-thick glued walls resist bowing, making this tray suitable for heavy, dense items that require open-top ventilation and vertical support.

Beverage and Heavy Jar Trays

The reinforced perimeter helps contain heavy primary containers, keeping them organized and upright during transit and display.

Club Store Multi-Packs

The combination of high product visibility and pallet-ready vertical support makes this a practical choice for bulk retail environments.

Retail and Supply Chain Fit

Automated Packing Lines

Because this tray lacks mechanical locking tabs, it is a strong fit for automated tray formers equipped with adhesive systems. It is built for repeat, high-volume erection.

Retail Presentation

The 180-degree fold-over flanges mean that the inside of the tray walls displays the same printed surface as the outside. This provides a clean, finished look on the shelf without requiring two-sided printing.

Palletized Distribution

The raised corners carry vertical loads, protecting the primary product from crush damage when trays are stacked multiple layers high.

When to Consider a Different Tray Style

Manual Assembly Without Adhesive

If you are packing by hand and do not want to use glue, this tray will be slow to assemble. Compare it to a roll-end tray with locking tabs, which locks together mechanically.

Parcel and Courier Shipping

This is an open-top tray. If the product needs to ship through a mixed-carrier courier network, it will likely require a master outer carton or shrink wrap to keep the contents secure.

Key Decisions for Production and Assembly

Assembly Method and Volume

This tray relies on adhesive. For repeat runs, an automated tray former makes the most sense. For short runs, manual assembly with adhesive is possible but labor-intensive. Confirm your assembly capabilities before specifying this design.

Board Grade and Fold Clearance

The strength of this tray comes from its 180-degree folded flanges. If the corrugated board is too thick, the folds may crack or resist gluing. Thinner board profiles are typically the most reliable choices for clean 180-degree folds.

Print Surface Planning

Leveraging the fold-over flanges allows the exterior print to wrap inside the tray. Discuss how this affects your artwork layout to avoid unnecessary two-sided printing costs.

Outer Shipping Requirements

Decide if the tray will travel on a pallet or if it needs to be packed into a master carton for individual parcel delivery.

Adjusting the Display Profile

Tuning the Display Window

The depth of the dipped center panel can be adjusted. You can balance the need for maximum product visibility against the need for lateral containment based on your specific product.

Corner Post Height

The raised corners can be extended or lowered to match the height of the primary product, ensuring the tray carries the vertical load instead of the goods inside.

Flange Width

The width of the 180-degree fold-over flanges can be modified, which changes how much of the printed exterior wraps over to the inside of the tray walls.

Packing details

Die-Cutting Tooling

Due to the stepped profile of the raised corners and the angled relief cuts for the flanges, this tray is typically produced using flatbed die-cutting tooling. It is generally not a fit for simple rotary slotting.

Additional notes

Board thickness and fold memory

The 180-degree folds create tension in the board, meaning the flaps will naturally try to spring open. A strong adhesive bond is required to hold the flanges flat, especially with thicker flutes.

FAQs

Can this tray be assembled without adhesive?

This specific design does not have mechanical locking tabs. It relies entirely on adhesive applied to the fold-over flanges to hold its shape.

Is this tray suitable for hand packing?

It can be loaded by hand once erected, but manually gluing the four 180-degree flanges is slow and labor-intensive. It is much faster when erected by an automated tray former.

Why are the corners higher than the side walls?

The raised corners act as structural posts to carry the weight of pallets or trays stacked above them. This allows the center of the side walls to dip lower, keeping the product visible to shoppers without sacrificing vertical strength.

Do I need two-sided printing for the inside of the tray to look good?

Usually, no. Because the top flanges fold 180 degrees inward and cover the inside walls, the exterior print surface wraps around to the inside. This provides a printed interior perimeter using only standard one-sided printing.

Can I use a heavy double-wall board for extra strength?

Heavy board grades should be tested carefully. The design requires the corrugated board to fold completely flat against itself. Very thick flutes may crack or create too much tension for the adhesive to hold securely.

Can I ship this tray through the mail?

Not on its own. As an open-top tray, it provides no top protection and cannot contain loose items if overturned. For parcel shipping, it usually needs to be placed inside a closed master carton.

How does this compare to a standard roll-end tray?

A standard roll-end tray uses mechanical locking tabs and slots to hold its shape, making it easy to assemble by hand. This tray uses glued flanges instead, which is often preferred for high-speed automated packing lines.

Does the dipped front panel weaken the tray?

The raised corners are designed to carry the vertical load. As long as the trays are stacked corner-to-corner, the dipped front panel does not compromise the overall stacking strength.
