FAQs

Are these trays suitable for long-term storage?

Yes, they offer good protection for storage. For very long-term storage, ensure the apples are in a cool, dry environment and consider inspecting them periodically.

How many apples does each tray hold?

Each tray is designed with 12 individual compartments to hold up to 12 apples.

What are the dimensions of the tray?

The dimensions of each tray are 40 x 30cm.

Can I reuse these apple trays?

Yes, the trays are designed to be reusable for multiple seasons.

What is the material of the trays?

The trays are made from moulded fibre, which is biodegradable and compostable.

How should I dispose of the trays when I'm finished with them?

At the end of their life, the trays can be added to your compost bin or placed in your recycling.

Are different pack sizes available?

Yes, this product is available in packs of 10, 20, and 50 trays.

Troubleshooting

Tray arrived damaged or bent

As these are made of moulded fibre, slight bending can occur during transit. Gently reshape the tray before use. For significant damage, contact the retailer.

Apples do not fit comfortably

Ensure you are using the tray for varieties that fit within the compartment size. For extremely large apples, some may need to be placed without a dedicated slot or consider using a different tray size if available.

Trays seem weak

Moulded fibre is strong for its purpose but not as rigid as plastic. Avoid overloading the tray or stacking too many items on top of it. Ensure the tray is kept dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required. Simply place the tray on a flat surface to begin filling it with apples.

Compatibility: Suitable for most apple varieties. The tray dimensions (40 x 30cm) accommodate standard and larger apples. Compatible with standard shelving and crates.

Care: Store in a dry place to prevent premature degradation of the fibre material. Clean gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary; avoid soaking. Ensure trays are dry before stacking for storage. At the end of their usable life, they can be placed in a compost bin or recycled.
