The paper tray from Scafa replaces plastic trays with a fully recyclable solution made from 100% paper — dimensionally stable, food-safe, and individually configurable for your products.
Plastic trays are standard in countless packaging applications — yet the pressure to substitute them with sustainable materials is growing. The paper tray from Scafa Thermoforming delivers the answer: a dimensionally stable tray made from 100% paper that meets the mechanical requirements of plastic trays while being fully recyclable in the paper waste stream.
Our paper trays are manufactured from high-quality cardboard and cellulose fibres using the ScaPAP process. The result is a tray with remarkably high inherent rigidity that securely holds even heavier products. The three-dimensional shaping allows compartments, ribs, nub patterns, and custom contours — precisely tailored to your articles.
Paper trays are suitable for food packaging as well as industrial components, cosmetics, and electronics. With water-based barrier coatings, they meet the requirements for grease resistance and moisture protection — without the use of plastic films or PE coatings that would compromise recyclability.
Choosing the paper tray is a commitment to the circular economy: lower CO2 footprint in production, simple disposal for the end consumer, and full compliance with current and future EU packaging regulations. We manufacture your paper tray Made in Germany — reliably, precisely, sustainably.
