What is a French Tray?
The French Tray is the ideal luxury retail and fine presentation standard for packaging, in many cases. These aesthetically different, double-walled side panels fold in and stay locked into position. This navigated engineering successfully yields some of the cleanest skinny edges out there, and no raw cardboard seams are poking through to ruin what could easily be an upscale package.
A French Tray maintains the clean lines of those basic folding cartons, but delivers a more rigid experience with a luxurious feel, without the expense or storage hassle associated with shipping a fully rigidized, pre-assembled box. This is one of the most requested wants of high-end brands, which want their products to feel like a proper gift as soon as they come out of the box.
Benefits of the Double-Walled Design
A French Tray, with its functional and aesthetic structural configuration, is one of the popular modern retail trays.
- Outstanding Side-Wall Strength: No longer will your contents be crushed and bent in transit; the two layers in the walls prevent that from happening.
- Visual Appeal: The panels hinge and lock inside out, meaning that the outside walls are completely smooth and pristine, providing ample uninterrupted space for high-quality branding.
- Delightful Unboxing Experience: The snug fit of the tray allows for a controlled opening experience that builds excitement and validates desirability,
Common Industry Applications
Owing to its elegant appearance and proven durability, the French Tray now finds itself in wide use across multiple competitive market segments:

- High-End Jean: Ideal for luxury skincare lines, high-end perfumes, and all that makeup you attempt to house in a gift-like manner.
