Open tray sizes

An open tray is a base with four low walls and no lid: produce and bakery trays, can trays, shelf trays and inserts. Box makers call it FEFCO 0422, 0452 or 0449, by how the corners hold. Start from a stock size and change it to fit what goes in.

Stock sizes from one supplier's list, not a standard. Trays are easy to make to your own size.

How to measure

  • Length: the long side of the base.
  • Width: the short side. It can't be more than the length.
  • Height: how tall the walls stand.

Our sizes are crease to crease, so the base and walls are exactly the length, width and height you type. The space inside is about one board thickness smaller.

Which corners?

Locked corners (0422) have double walls with tabs that lock into the base: no glue, folded by hand. Glued corners (0452) use the least board. Folded corners (0449) need no cuts and no glue: each corner folds into a pleat against the long wall. A tray with a lid on top is a box with lid.
