About this product

The F40.11.00.00 is a premium presentation tray featuring a distinctive pedestal profile. Its walls rise at an outward slope before turning strictly vertical, while the four corners are bevelled to create a framed, high-value aesthetic.

Designed for retail display, this tray uses a 180-degree fold-over rim to hide raw edges, providing a clean, double-walled interior. Because of its complex corner tabs and locking panels, it is typically intended for automated machine erection rather than manual hand-packing.

Presentation Roles For Luxury Goods

Open-top retail presentation for luxury goods

The combination of sloped lower walls and vertical upper walls creates a natural pedestal for the product. The bevelled corners and double-thick rim provide a rigid, framed appearance that elevates the perceived value of the contents.

Framed display for confectionery assortments

Brands packing premium chocolates or sweets use this tray to stand out from basic rectangular boxes. The clean interior, free of visible tabs or raw edges, helps the packaging match the quality of the product inside.

Pedestal-style staging for cosmetics

The sloped base lifts and presents cosmetic jars or palettes effectively. The rigid double-wall rim provides a substantial feel when handled by the consumer.

Rigid base for premium gift sets

When paired with a clear sleeve or custom slip lid, this tray provides a sturdy foundation for multi-item gift sets, keeping the components contained while offering a high-end unboxing experience.

Retail Channels And Packing Environments

High-end retail and boutique channels

Products sold in boutiques or specialty stores benefit from the distinctive bevelled shape, which signals a premium price point and differentiates the item from mass-market packaging.

Seasonal and promotional campaigns

For holiday releases or limited-edition runs, the pedestal profile offers a structural upgrade that makes the product feel like a special event, even if the core product remains the same.

Automated packing environments

Facilities equipped with plunge-style tray formers can use this tray efficiently at scale, taking advantage of the automated gluing and folding sequence to produce complex trays rapidly.

When To Compare Simpler Tray Styles

Manual packing and low-volume fulfillment

If the packing line relies on hand assembly, the interdependent corner tabs and complex fold-over rims of this tray will slow down production. A basic double-wall tray with simple 90-degree dust flaps is often a more practical choice for manual fulfillment.

Shipping through mixed courier networks

This is an open presentation tray, not a standalone shipper. If the primary goal is protecting goods through the mail, a closed mailer or a dedicated outer shipping box should be evaluated alongside this display piece.

Board, Equipment, And Lid Decisions

Board selection for complex folds

The board choice should support crisp 180-degree folds without cracking. Folding cartonboard is frequently chosen; heavy corrugated board can bind on the complex folds and may need larger crease allowances or micro-flute alternatives.

Forming equipment compatibility

This tray typically involves a plunge-style tray former capable of folding the sloped walls and gluing the corner tabs simultaneously. Verifying equipment capabilities early helps prevent assembly bottlenecks.

Lid and sleeve integration

Because this is an open tray, it is often paired with a custom slip lid or a transparent sleeve. When planning a lid, the dimensions should account for the bevelled corners and the specific thickness of the double-wall vertical section.

Print surface and raw edge concealment

The 180-degree fold-over rim means that the printed side of the board covers the entire visible interior of the vertical walls. Discussing print layout early helps the artwork take full advantage of this continuous surface.

Adjusting Proportions And Bevels

Adjusting the sloped wall ratio

The ratio between the sloped lower wall and the vertical upper wall can be adjusted to change the tray's profile, making the pedestal taller or shallower depending on the product height.

Modifying the bevelled corner width

The size of the bevelled corners can be modified to create a more pronounced octagonal feel or a subtler angled edge. This changes the internal footprint and should be coordinated with any inserts.

Sizing the double-wall rim

The depth of the fold-over rim can be extended further down the inside of the tray if needed, though it should align precisely with the transition to the sloped wall to lock correctly.

Board and packing details

Inner locking panel behavior

The terminal panels attached to the top rims fold back outward to sit flush against the inside of the sloped lower walls. This friction lock holds the double-wall assembly together and hides the corner tabs.

Template Variants

F40.11.00.00.a

A variant that uses a different parameter logic for calculating the wall heights and angles, often used to maintain specific proportions when scaling the tray.

Additional notes

Print surface continuity

The fold-over rim means that the printed side of the board covers the entire visible interior of the vertical walls, providing a premium finish without needing two-sided printing.

FAQs

Assembly and Production

Can this tray be assembled by hand?

While possible for very small prototype runs, it is very labor-intensive. The tray relies on multiple interdependent tabs and a complex fold-over rim that are typically handled by the synchronized plunging action of an automated tray former.

Materials

Is this tray suitable for corrugated board?

Heavy corrugated board is usually too thick and can bind or crush during forming. The 180-degree rim folds and small triangular corner tabs generally rely on the clean creasing of folding cartonboard or very light micro-flute.

Shipping

Can products ship directly in this tray?

No, this is an open presentation tray designed for retail display. It provides no top protection and should be placed inside a master carton, sleeve, or mailer for transit.

Design

How does the top rim stay in place?

The top rim folds 180 degrees inward, and a terminal panel at the edge kicks out to sit flush against the inside of the sloped lower wall. This creates a friction lock that holds the double-wall assembly together.

Packing Equipment

What equipment is used to pack this tray?

Facilities packing this tray at scale typically use a tray erector equipped with a custom forming mandrel to handle the specific slope and bevel angles of the tray.

Modifications

Can the angle of the sloped walls be changed?

Yes, the slope can be adjusted by changing the ratio of the base footprint to the top opening. However, steep angles should be tested to verify the machine can still form the tray and the inner panels lock correctly.

Print and Finish

Will raw board edges be visible on the finished tray?

No, the 180-degree fold-over rim is designed specifically to hide the raw edges of the board, presenting a clean, continuous printed surface on the upper interior walls.

Accessories

Can a lid be added to this tray?

Yes, it is frequently paired with a custom slip lid or a clear plastic sleeve. The lid should carefully account for the bevelled corners and the specific outer dimensions of the double-wall rim.
