Description
The Wet-Pressed Molded Fiber Deep Hot Dog Rectangular Tray is a purpose-built food vessel designed for one of the most universally loved yet notoriously messy handheld foods: the hot dog. While conventional flat trays and round plates leave hot dogs rolling around and sauces dripping onto hands and clothing, our deep-boat design traps sauces, stabilizes the food, and keeps the eating experience clean from first bite to last.
Made from natural sugarcane bagasse and bamboo pulp through precision wet-press technology, the tray features raised side walls of 25-30mm that form a boat-like cavity. The elongated rectangular shape is precisely dimensioned to cradle hot dogs, sausages, corn dogs, sandwiches, croissants, and other elongated foods without shifting. A food-grade aqueous grease-repellent coating creates a lotus-leaf effect — oil beads up and rolls off the surface instead of soaking into the fiber.
Whether for dine-in at hot dog stands, high-volume concessions at stadiums and fairs, or takeout delivery, this tray delivers a noticeably cleaner, more satisfying experience. Fully compostable in 90 days and certified FSC, OK Compost, and FDA, it is the smarter, greener alternative to plastic hot dog trays and flimsy paper liners.

Product Details
1 Deep-Boat Design — Sauce Stays in the Tray, Not on Your Hands
The universal hot dog problem: you bite one end, and ketchup, mustard, and chili squeeze out the other end, running down your hand and onto your sleeve. Flat trays offer no defense against this physics.
• Flat paper trays: sauce flows freely across the surface and over the edge
• Shallow plastic boats: minimal depth, sauce still escapes
• Our deep-boat tray: raised 25-30mm side walls create a containment basin
The deep cavity acts like a dam. Sauce that escapes from either end of the hot dog is trapped by the side walls before it can reach the edge of the tray. The result: the hot dog is consumed completely, and the sauce stays in the tray. Hands stay clean. Clothes stay clean. The eating experience stays enjoyable.
2 Precision Rectangular Form — Fits the Food, Not the Other Way Around
Round plates waste space when holding elongated foods. The hot dog rolls around, the bun shifts, and the entire arrangement becomes unstable. Our tray is engineered for the geometry of long foods:
• Rectangular cavity precisely matches the length and width of a standard hot dog in bun
• The food sits snugly with minimal lateral movement
• Also ideal for: sausages, corn dogs, bratwurst, submarine sandwiches, croissants, burritos, egg rolls
• The snug fit also means the tray itself can be smaller and more material-efficient than a round plate
3 Lotus-Effect Grease Barrier — Oil Beads Up, Doesn't Soak In
Hot dog grease and sausage fat are among the most aggressive challenges for any paper-based food container. Without proper treatment, grease penetrates the fiber within minutes, leaving a greasy stain on the outside and a soggy, weak structure.
• Food-grade aqueous grease-repellent coating applied during the hot-press stage
• Creates a lotus-leaf effect: oil and grease form spherical beads on the surface instead of wetting the fiber
• The beaded oil can be easily wiped away, leaving the tray surface clean and dry
• No plastic (PE/PLA) lamination — the coating is fully compostable
• Bottom of the tray stays dry and firm, even with a fully loaded hot dog dripping with chili and cheese
4 Wet-Pressed Structural Strength — Holds Up to Heavy Loads
A fully loaded hot dog with chili, cheese, coleslaw, and sides can be surprisingly heavy. A flimsy tray that bends or sags creates a messy, unstable eating experience.
• Uniform wall thickness of 0.8-1.2mm through precision wet-press forming
• High fiber density provides excellent rigidity without excessive weight
• Can be carried one-handed without bending or sagging
• Stackable design for efficient storage in food service operations
5 Takeout-Ready with Optional Lid
Hot dog delivery is a growing segment, but the elongated shape makes it hard to package securely. Our tray is designed with takeout in mind:
• Matching molded fiber flat lid or dome lid available
• Lid snaps onto the tray rim, securing the hot dog inside the deep cavity
• No tipping, no shifting, no sauce spillage during delivery
• Microwave safe for reheating; fully compostable after use
