GN 1/2 melamine tray Hendi 566015
Technical data 01 / 02
This GN 1/2 melamine tray combines a shallow profile with a lightweight, impact-resistant construction for food presentation. Its hygienic surface suits prepared food at service, while the material’s hard surface provides a firm base for arranging food on a counter or buffet. The low weight also makes it easier to carry the tray between preparation and service.
Where it is used
Use the tray to present prepared food in a compact buffet or café service area. Its shallow profile suits food arranged in a single layer rather than a deep holding task, keeping the presentation low and contained on the counter. The hygienic surface is suitable for presenting prepared food, making the tray a practical choice for a service position where food is on display.
Impact resistance helps the tray withstand knocks during routine handling around a counter. This is useful when staff move serving ware between preparation and service or reposition it as the display changes. The lightweight construction reduces the effort involved in carrying it out for service and taking it back for replenishment. At a breakfast buffet, staff can use that manageable weight when refreshing a presentation position during service.
How to choose
The GN 1/2 footprint is a standardised catering format, helping allocate a defined position within a GN-based service layout. The shallow profile suits a limited layer of food rather than a deep holding task, so it fits presentation roles that call for a low-sided tray. This distinction helps match the tray’s form to how the food is arranged, rather than treating every counter position as a deep container requirement.
The overall dimensions help compare the tray’s counter footprint with the space available for that position. Melamine is a hard material commonly used for serving ware, providing a firm surface for arranging prepared food. Consider the tray’s lightweight construction when it will need to be carried between preparation and service; its low weight reduces that carrying effort. Impact resistance is a separate practical consideration for routine handling where knocks can occur.
