checkered tray

Care depends on the tray material. For reusable trays, many listings recommend cleaning with a light degreaser or wiping with a damp cloth. For disposable paper trays and food boats, items are intended to be discarded after use; note that some paper boats are labeled as microwave-safe.

Common disposable options include paper hot dog trays, paper food boats, and paper platters. Advertised features often include grease resistance, writability for order-tracking, stackability, recyclability or commercial compostability, and packaging in counts ranging from dozens to hundreds.

Disposable checkered trays are sold in both large value packs and smaller party packs. Examples shown in listings include 500-count, 100-count, and 16-count packages.

Checkered trays are made from a variety of materials, including bone china, ceramic, marble, resin, paper, bamboo, and other wood materials.
