About this product

The EVC41095 is a one-piece corrugated tray designed for retail and market environments. It features two raised, outward-tapering walls that provide a wide viewing angle for the product, while the remaining two walls use a fold-over locking design to hold the tray together without tape or adhesive.

Because of its flared profile and open top, this tray is built for presentation. It is usually packed into a larger master carton for transit before being placed directly on a shelf or display table.

Common uses

Retail shelf-ready packaging
Agricultural produce displays
Bakery and loose-item presentation
In-plant kitting and sorting

Retail and Market Display Applications

Retail shelf-ready packaging

The tapered walls allow customers to see and reach the product easily from the lower sides, while the higher walls provide a backdrop for branding or product containment.

Market and produce displays

The open-top design provides ventilation and immediate access for loose items like baked goods or agricultural produce.

Bakery and loose-item presentation

The flared profile helps display arranged items without deep side walls blocking the view, making it useful for fresh food counters.

In-plant kitting and sorting

The angled walls make it easy for operators to drop components into the tray during assembly or sorting processes before the tray is moved to the next station.

Produce, Bakery, and Shelf-Ready Packaging

Grocery and farm-stand retail

Store staff can assemble the trays quickly by hand, load the product, and place them directly on the floor or shelf without needing to cut open a sealed box.

Bakery and confectionery

The open presentation style fits fresh goods that need to be seen immediately, while the corrugated board provides a clean, disposable or recyclable base.

Component sorting and assembly lines

For internal logistics, the wide opening allows fast visual inspection and easy retrieval of parts.

When to Consider Straight-Walled Trays

Need for vertical stacking

If the trays will support the weight of pallets or heavy stacking during transit, a straight-walled tray provides better vertical compression strength than a flared design.

Parcel shipping

Because the top is completely open, this tray is not designed for courier networks on its own. It usually needs an outer master shipper or a switch to a fully enclosed mailer.

Board Thickness, Print, and Assembly Labor

Board grade and locking clearance

The fold-over locking walls rely on specific crease allowances to wrap around the side flaps cleanly. Thicker flutes need wider double creases to prevent the board from binding or tearing during assembly.

Assembly labor

This tray relies on manual folding. Packers fold the tapered walls up, tuck the side flaps in, and roll the locking walls over them. This labor time should be factored into high-volume packing operations.

Print surface and interior visibility

Because the top is open and the side walls are lower, the inside of the raised tapered walls remains highly visible. If branding is needed there, two-sided printing or specific board routing should be discussed.

Master shipper fit

The flared walls create a wider footprint at the top than at the base. This angled profile changes how the trays nest or fit inside an outer shipping box.

Modifying the Display Profile

Taper angle adjustment

The outward lean of the raised walls can be adjusted. A steeper angle increases visibility but widens the tray's overall footprint, which changes how many trays fit on a shelf or inside a master shipper.

Wall height contrast

The height difference between the raised tapered walls and the lower locking walls can be modified to expose more or less of the product.

Locking tab count

Depending on the length of the tray, the number of locking tabs on the roll-end walls can be increased to ensure the panel stays securely anchored into the base.

Packing details

Flat delivery and storage

The one-piece blank ships completely flat, taking up minimal warehouse space before it is erected on the packing line or store floor.

FAQs

Can this tray be shipped through the mail?

Not on its own. The open top and flared walls mean it usually needs to be placed inside a sealed master carton for parcel or courier delivery.

Does the tray use glue or tape to stay together?

No. The two straight walls fold over the side flaps and lock into slots in the base panel, holding the tray securely through friction and mechanical locking.

Can these trays be stacked on top of each other?

Stacking depends heavily on the product inside. The flared walls do not provide the same vertical support as straight walls, so the product itself often bears the weight if trays are stacked, unless a specific nesting profile is tested.

What board thicknesses fit this design?

Thinner profiles like E-flute or B-flute are common because they fold cleanly at the roll-end locks. Heavier boards can be used, but the crease allowances should be carefully adjusted to ensure the locking tabs seat properly.

Can the angle of the flared walls be changed?

Yes. The template allows the outward lean to be adjusted, but widening the angle increases the tray's footprint and changes how it fits into outer shipping boxes.

Is this tray suitable for automated packing lines?

No. The sequence of folding the tapered walls, holding the side flaps, and rolling the locking walls over them is designed for manual assembly.

Can the inside of the tray be printed?

Yes. Because the flared walls expose the interior, two-sided printing is often used to brand the inside backdrops.

Should I test a physical sample before ordering?

Yes. A digital cut prototype helps verify that the chosen board thickness folds cleanly at the locks and that the taper angle fits your shelf space.
