White Polystyrene Foam Meat Trays
As one of our most popular meat tray options, our polystyrene foam trays are extremely cost-efficient, durable, and reliable. When the foam tray is white in color, it’s most often used specifically for regular cuts of meat.
Our high-quality foam trays are manufactured from polystyrene, which is one of the world’s most effective insulating materials. With a neat and clean look, white polystyrene foam trays are commonly used across supermarkets, delis, produce stands, and convenience stores to house meats as well as cheeses.
And our foam trays are available in an array of different sizes and shapes for every type of meat. The extremely sturdy white supermarket foam tray is designed to draw attention to the attractive and appealing features of the product.
Regardless of the size or shape, each supermarket foam tray is compatible with auto wrapping equipment, which helps save time and create efficiencies. When properly packaged, our foam trays can help protect foods and keep meats fresher for longer periods of time.
As an added bonus, our foam trays are disposable, which means easy cleanup for you and your customer. A few key highlights of our white polystyrene foam trays include:

Polystyrene Foam Trays in Different Colors
In addition to white and black, Servous offers polystyrene foam trays in a variety of colors. Choosing foam trays in different colors can allow you and your staff to easily identify different meat products within refrigerated storage while helping simply inventory management.
What Do Different Colors of Foam Trays Mean?
When it comes to the different colors of foam trays, there is no hard-and fast rule. As such, your supermarket or facility can easily establish or create color guidelines based on your unique needs and goals.
In using different colors, you can prevent chemical, biological, and physical hazards within your supermarket. Examples of how different colors of foam trays can be used include:
- Yellow foam tray colors can be reserved for chicken or poultry.
- Green foam tray colors can be used for produce, fruit, or vegetables
- Blue foam tray colors can be reserved for fish, crab cakes, and other types of seafood products
In either case, you can find all different colors of foam trays at Servous. And the Servous team can help guide you through the process, explain all of your options, and help you make the best selection.
Are Foam Trays Environmentally Friendly?
Even as your department moves toward more eco-friendly practices, it makes sense to keep black polystyrene trays in stock as a cost-efficient option. Contrary to popular belief, polystyrene foam trays are not made from Styrofoam.
Styrofoam is a moniker trademarked and owned by Dow Chemical Company. This extremely tough material is ideal for wall insulation, floor insulation, and other construction applications.
On the other hand, our polystyrene foam trays are manufactured through a different molding process. This manufacturing process injects large amounts of air while still maintaining the excellent insulation benefits of foam. Because of this, less foam is used in the manufacturing of polystyrene foam trays.
Environmentally-Friendly Cornstarch Meat Trays
Another type of meat tray we regularly keep in stock is the cornstarch meat tray. Our cornstarch meat trays are the perfect solution for any meat department looking to take the next step toward sustainability and energy conservation.
As the name suggests, cornstarch meat trays are manufactured from cornstarch, which is a highly-renewable resource. Recognized as the future of food storage, cornstarch meat storage items are manufactured from the polylactic acid (PLA) found in cornstarch.
The PLAs can behave and look identical to several popular plastic materials:
- Polypropylene used in textiles, auto parts, and packaging
- Polyethylene used in bottles, plastic films, and more.
- Polystyrene used in plastic cutlery and Styrofoam.
Creating items from cornstarch causes significantly less environmental impact compared to other virgin plastics. Best of all, cornstarch products and items feel and look almost identical to traditional plastic materials. With a clean aesthetic, cornstarch items check every box:
- 100% biodegradable
- 100% compostable
- Offers a high aroma barrier
- Safe for food
- Resistant to oils and fats
- Resistant to UV
- Low flammability

Bagasse Meat Trays
Another popular environmentally-friendly item is our premium bagasse meat trays. Our bagasse meat trays are manufactured from sugarcane fibers — a waste product from the production of sugarcane.
Bagasse trays can biodegrade in a commercial or residential composting facility in as little as 90 days. They will decompose back into organic material that can be used to fertilize other plants and organic material.
- 100% biodegradable
- 100% compostable
- Soak proof
- Ideal for prepared and raw meats
- Resistant to grease and moisture
- Extremely sturdy
- Available in white and natural colors
Whether it’s ribs, roasted chicken, lamb, lobster, goat, ham, or any other meat, our bagasse meat trays are proven to be the perfect solution.
