Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Parkside Community Hub in Bristol was struggling with a mismatched collection of old, brittle trays that were constantly cracking, looking unprofessional and creating a safety hazard. They needed a uniform, durable, and colourful solution for their busy daily lunch club for local residents.
"We were replacing trays every month. They were a nightmare to clean and looked dreadful. The new green Kristallon trays have completely refreshed our service. They’re tough, easy for our older members to handle, and they look so much smarter. Our volunteers love how quickly they can be washed and stacked away."
Sarah Jenkins – Operations Coordinator
The upgrade resulted in a 95% reduction in tray breakages within the first six months and significantly improved the speed of table clearing after service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, give all trays a thorough wash with warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle to remove any residues from manufacturing and transport.
- Check each tray quickly for any imperfections before putting it into service.
- Designate a clean, dry, and easy-to-access area for stacking and storage.
Keeping It Going
- For best results and hygiene, clean trays in a commercial dishwasher after each use.
- To remove stubborn food stains, use a non-abrasive cream cleaner and a soft cloth.
- When stacking, ensure trays are completely dry to prevent water spots and bacteria growth.
- Avoid using sharp knives directly on the tray surface as this can cause permanent scratches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these trays rigid or do they flex?
A: They are made from sturdy polypropylene and are designed to be very rigid, resisting flexing even when carrying a full, heavy meal.
Q: Can they handle hot plates straight from a kitchen?
A: Yes, polypropylene has good heat resistance and is perfectly suitable for carrying hot plates and bowls typical in a canteen or restaurant setting.
Q: Is the polypropylene material food-safe?
A: Absolutely. These trays are made from food-grade polypropylene, which is non-toxic and completely safe for use in food service environments.
Q: How well do they stack? Do they get stuck together?
A: They are designed with stacking lugs that ensure they stack neatly and create a small air gap, which prevents them from sticking and helps them dry.
Q: Will the green colour fade after many dishwasher cycles?
A: The colour is integrated into the material itself, not coated on top, so it is highly resistant to fading from washing or UV light.
Q: What is the best way to clean them?
A: They are fully dishwasher safe, which is the easiest and most hygienic method. They can also be hand-washed with standard washing-up liquid.
Q: Are the corners sharp?
A: No, the corners are rounded for safety and to make them easier to wipe clean, with no sharp edges or dirt traps.
Q: Is this Kristallon P505 tray suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, they are durable enough for outdoor seating areas, beer gardens, and events, though prolonged direct sun exposure over many years can eventually affect any plastic.

Explore more from KristallonWhy a Textured Surface Is a Quiet Hero
You might just see a bumpy pattern, but that textured finish on the Kristallon P505 tray is a clever piece of engineering designed for the real world. Think of it like the tread on a car tyre. On a smooth, wet surface, things can slide about uncontrollably. The textured pattern on this tray creates thousands of tiny points of friction. This 'micro-grip' gently holds onto the bottom of plates, bowls, and glasses, stopping them from sliding around as the tray is carried, especially if there's a small spill. For a busy environment, this means fewer accidents, less mess to clean up, and a safer experience for everyone from a school child to an elderly customer.
