FAQ — Custom Plastic Trays

How many details do you need for a quote?

Just 4 details: a brief description of your desired plastic tray, the dimensions (length × width × depth in mm), the desired color, and the planned order quantity. With that, we will prepare a non-binding quote for your custom plastic tray.

What is the minimum order quantity for custom plastic trays?

We manufacture custom plastic trays starting from 1,000 units and specialize in large-scale production runs of up to 500 million units per year per item. For sampling, we first create segment samples from Ureol so you can test the fit before production tooling is manufactured.

How long does it take from inquiry to first delivery?

For new developments, expect approximately 6-8 weeks from inquiry to first serial delivery. This includes technical drawings, sampling (Ureol), tooling on our in-house CNC machines, and production start-up.

What materials are available for custom plastic trays?

We process PET, rPET, PVC, PS, PP, ABS and other plastics depending on requirements. Colored, ESD-conductive or food-safe variants are possible. Our Technical Designer Aljoscha Pampuch will advise you on the optimal material for your plastic tray.

Can I receive a sample before serial production?

Yes, we always create segment samples from Ureol before serial production of your custom plastic tray. These samples do not have the final surface quality but are perfect for fit testing with your product. Production tooling only begins after your approval.
