GN 1/3 melamine tray Hendi 566022

This GN 1/3 melamine tray has a shallow profile for presenting small portions in a single layer. Its hygienic surface suits prepared toppings and accompaniments, while its impact-resistant construction is useful when the tray is moved around a busy service area.

Where it is used

At a hotel breakfast buffet, use the tray to present a small quantity of toppings or accompaniments beside the main dishes. The melamine surface is smooth and hygienic, giving prepared food a clean presentation at the service counter. Its impact resistance is useful when the tray is repositioned as the display is arranged or replenished, helping it withstand knocks during routine handling.

In a café, the GN 1/3 format provides a defined tray for a shallow presentation of a small portion. The 20 mm depth suits ingredients or accompaniments spread in a thin layer, rather than a deep quantity. This makes the tray appropriate where staff need to present a modest amount for service without selecting a deeper format for the task.

How to choose

The 325 × 177 mm footprint defines the space this tray occupies on a service counter, helping assess whether the GN 1/3 format suits the available presentation area. Its shallow profile is intended for a thin layer, so choose it for small quantities of toppings or accompaniments rather than deep storage. The dimensions and depth therefore guide the choice by the space available and the way the food is to be presented.

Melamine’s low weight makes the tray easier to carry between preparation and the service counter, particularly when staff are moving several items as they set up or replenish a display. This handling advantage is distinct from the tray’s impact resistance: the lighter construction reduces carrying effort, while resistance to knocks supports repeated movement around the service area. The hygienic surface also suits prepared food presentation where a clean display matters.
