A shelf ready tray is a low corrugated tray that holds a fixed number of products. On delivery, staff lift the tray off the pallet and place it on the shelf. The products stay in the tray, so there’s nothing to unpack. A shelf tray supermarket buyers accept is usually printed, stacks well, and fits the shelf space.

Different products need different trays. Here are four ready trays UK brands can choose from:
Trays can also travel inside corrugated mailer boxes when you send small orders direct to a shop. Some brands add a shelf tray stand for counters and end caps. We can also make large shelf ready trays for bigger packs.

Look at the use-by date on the label, and keep the meat in the fridge. Store raw meat covered on the bottom shelf, so juices can't drip onto other food. Don't eat meat after its use-by date.
