Snack bowls for french fries, finger foods, and to-go snacks

Snack Trays for Snack Bars, Food Trucks, and Restaurants

Whether it’s french fries, chicken nuggets, currywurst, churros, or finger food: To serve snacks, food service establishments need packaging that suits the specific dish and portion size. Snack trays make it possible to offer individual snacks and small meals for immediate consumption or to go.

At Nette, you’ll find snack trays in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. The product range includes, among other items, cardboard food trays, french fry dispensers, snack trays with dip compartments, and boat-shaped trays.

The right design depends on your menu and intended use. While open snack trays are ideal for serving french fries and finger foods directly, designs with separate compartments allow you to serve snacks and dips separately.

Be sure to check out our fast-food and snack packaging for additional food items and portion sizes.

Cardboard Food Trays for French Fries and Finger Foods

Food trays are open snack trays designed for serving a variety of snack items. They’re ideal for french fries, chicken nuggets, potato wedges, and other suitable snacks.

Their open design allows for direct access to the food being served. Depending on the model, various dimensions and tray shapes are available.

When making your selection, you should consider the portion size being offered, the nature of the food, and the intended serving situation. For example, a small food tray may be suitable for a side dish portion, while larger versions are needed for more substantial snack portions.

Brown Food Trays Made of Kraft Paper

Brown food trays made of kraft paper have a distinctive paper look and can be used for a variety of suitable snacks.

Depending on the item, these trays may feature an interior coating. This can be important when using them with certain fatty foods. Be sure to note the specific product characteristics and intended conditions of use.

Discover, for example, our food trays made of brown kraft paper for commercial snack sales.

French Fry Containers for Takeout

French fry dispensers are designed for serving French fries and similar snacks. Their upright shape allows the portion to be presented in a compact package.

They can be used, for example, in snack bars, food trucks, burger restaurants, and at event food stands.

When selecting a container, pay attention to the dimensions and the intended portion size. Smaller side dishes may require different designs than large portions of fries.

French fry dispensers with a built-in dip compartment

If you serve fries along with ketchup, mayonnaise, or other sauces, snack trays with a separate dip compartment can make serving easier.

These designs feature a separate compartment for the sauce portion next to the area for the fries. This allows you to serve both items in a single container.

When making your selection, pay particular attention to the size of the dip compartment, the portion size of the fries, and the packaging’s suitability for the specific sauce.

For larger portions of dip or additional sides, Nette also offers bagasse dressing cups with matching lids.

Bagasse snack trays for various snack items

Bagasse is a fibrous raw material derived from sugarcane processing. Among other things, it is used to manufacture molded food packaging.

At Nette, you’ll find bagasse snack bowls for various food service applications. Depending on the design, they are suitable for French fries, finger foods, and other appropriate snacks.

When making your selection, you should consider the size of the bowl, the intended filling temperature, and the characteristics of the specific food item.

No general conclusions regarding the finished packaging’s temperature resistance, grease resistance, recyclability, or compostability can be drawn from the bagasse raw material alone. The specific product specifications are decisive.

Boat-shaped snack trays for street food and events

Boat-shaped snack trays have an elongated, open design and can be used to serve a variety of small dishes.

Whether it’s finger food, potato snacks, pastries, or other suitable snacks, the appropriate bowl size depends on the portion size and the intended presentation.

Boat-shaped snack bowls are ideal, for example, at street food stands, club parties, markets, and catering events.

If you’d like to offer different snacks or side dishes together, you should check whether the respective bowl shape provides enough space or if a version with separate compartments is needed.

Snack trays with multiple compartments for combined portions

Split snack bowls can be used to serve multiple snack items. The individual compartments allow you to present different foods or sides separately within a single container.

For example, you can serve french fries and chicken nuggets, or vegetable sticks and a matching dip, all together.

When making your selection, consider the number of compartments, their dimensions, and the intended portion sizes.

For larger meals and more extensive combinations, be sure to check out our meal boxes for the foodservice industry and takeout.

Snack Trays for Different Food Service Target Groups

The requirements for snack packaging vary depending on the establishment, menu offerings, and service concept. Therefore, choose the appropriate snack tray based on your typical portion sizes and intended service procedures.

Snack Trays for Snack Bars and Food Trucks

Snack bars and food trucks often serve french fries, currywurst, nuggets, and other snacks for immediate consumption.

Open snack trays and french fry dispensers can be used for direct service. For snacks served with sauces, options with a dip compartment or separate sauce cups are also suitable.

Match the packaging size to the portion sizes you offer and take into account the available space at the service counter.

Snack Trays for Kiosks, Gas Stations, and Rest Stops

Kiosks, gas stations, and rest stops often offer hot snacks, finger foods, and small meals to go.

Suitable carry bags may also be needed for selling multiple packaged products.

Snack Trays for Catering, Club Parties, and Event Catering

At catering events, club parties, city festivals, and other food service events, snacks are often offered at serving counters or self-service stations.

For french fries, finger foods, and similar small dishes, you can use appropriate snack trays in various sizes.

You can find additional products for event setups in our catering supplies section for party services and events.

Which snack bowl is right for your menu?

When selecting a snack bowl, you should pay particular attention to the type of food, the portion size, the filling temperature, and the intended use.

Dry snacks may have different packaging material requirements than fatty or moist foods. Suitability depends on the specific item and its intended conditions of use.

If you’re serving snacks directly at the sales counter, open trays may be an option. For foods that need to be transported over longer distances, however, suitable closed packaging with a matching lid may be required.

When placing your order, also consider the dimensions, the available packaging units, and the space required for storing the snack trays.

Combine snack trays with complementary catering supplies

To offer a complete snack selection, you can combine your snack trays with other packaging and serving items.

Various single-serving cups are available for separate sauces and dips. For larger food portions and combination meals, meal boxes or other suitable takeout packaging may be appropriate.

If your guests are taking multiple packaged foods or beverages to go, you can also use paper carry bags for takeout and off-premises sales. Choose the bag size and weight capacity based on the intended contents.
