Colour-coded confectionery trays help teams work faster and safer. By separating ingredients and finished goods at a glance, you reduce cross-contamination risk, support HACCP compliance, and keep audits simple. Below is a quick guide to choosing the right tray formats and the handling kit to keep production flowing.
Colour-coded confectionery trays: reduce cross-contamination
Use colour coding to separate high-risk from low-risk tasks and ingredients (e.g., raw vs. cooked, allergen vs. non-allergen). Clear visual rules cut handling errors, speed up checks, and make audit trails easier.

Pick your airflow: solid, semi-ventilated & perforated
Choose the airflow that suits your process. Solid trays for wet mixes and delicate items; semi-ventilated to balance strength with drying; fully perforated for accelerated cooling and moisture control—ideal in high-throughput bakeries.
- Stackable Food Grade Bakery Tray — dependable “workhorse” for mixing, staging, and WIP.

Standard footprint & cross-stacking for cooling
Trays with a consistent 762 × 457 mm footprint inter-work and cross-stack to promote airflow during cooling. That means fewer SKUs, easier nesting in racks and dollies, and a tidier line—especially in tight prep spaces.
- Plastic Tray Dolly — Open Base — stable handling for multiple trays between stations.
- Stainless Steel Dolly for Food Trays — hygienic, high-durability handling for wet areas.

Keep production moving: dollies & stainless racks
Move larger loads safely and maintain segregation with colour-matched dollies and dedicated tray racks. This reduces manual strain, speeds loading/unloading, and keeps lanes clear in busy bakeries and confectionery lines.
