Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The student union at the University of Stirling needed to replace their entire stock of old, cracked cafeteria trays ahead of the new academic year to improve both appearance and hygiene.
"We serve hundreds of students every lunchtime. We needed something that was basically indestructible and could be washed and back in service in minutes. These Kristallon DP218 trays were the perfect fit – simple, tough, and great value for our budget."
David Campbell – Catering Manager
The investment immediately paid off, with the catering team reporting that the new trays reduced breakages by over 90% in the first term alone.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, give the trays a quick check over to ensure they haven't been damaged in transit.
- We recommend a quick wash in a dishwasher or by hand before their first use.

Keeping It Going
- For the most hygienic and efficient clean, load them into your commercial dishwasher.
- Wipe up any major spills like sauces promptly to keep them looking their best.
