APS Classic serving tray 85281 — Rectangle melamine tray 265×162×25 mm, black

APS Classic serving tray 85281 is a rectangular melamine tray measuring 265 × 162 × 25 mm in black, created for professional food service environments. The tray is lightweight yet sturdy, with a smooth finish that resists stains and is easy to clean. It is suitable for transporting plates, glasses and individual portions in restaurants, cafés, buffets and room service, and its stackable design saves storage space between uses.

Advantages

The melamine construction provides impact resistance and dimensional stability while remaining lightweight for frequent handling. The surface resists common food stains and is easy to wipe or place in a dishwasher. Its rectangular shape and low rim make it practical for arranging plates and glasses securely while allowing quick loading and unloading. Stackability reduces storage footprint, and the black colour offers a neutral, professional appearance that integrates with a variety of tableware styles.

Suitable for

• Commercial restaurants and cafés for table service and bussing
• Hotel room service and banquet operations
• Buffets, canteens and catering events for portion transport
• Home use where durable, easy-care serving trays are needed

When it may not be suitable

This tray is made of melamine and is not intended for direct use in ovens or microwave ovens; high direct heat can damage the material. It is designed for carrying plated food and drinks rather than heavy, concentrated loads—excessive weight may cause bending or stress over time.
