Leading Tray Brands

Leading trays brands

With a wide variety of serving and lap trays to choose from it is a good idea to buy trays online from leading brands such as Portmeirion, Customworks or Selbrae House of Scotland. Without considering the price, you can be confident that these brands have been selling trays for a number of years and in that time have achieved a level of expertise.

This experience means leading brands will not be cutting corners in terms of the materials used. They are guaranteed to be of a certain quality and just as importantly, these materials are considered food safe by the various regulators. This is particularly important with or examples sandwich trays where food will be in direct contact with the tray.

With reputation being so important a leading brand of trays is going to go the extra mile in terms of making sure their serving tray is meeting their high standards. Although cheaper trays brands will also be obliged to meet a minimum standard, especially from a food safe perspective, the actual quality and durability of the materials they use will not be the same.

Brand guarantees for melamine trays

One other advantage that leading trays brands such as Portmeirion and Pimpernel have gained from their years of experience in producing quality melamine serving trays is they can offer a greater level of guarantee that their melamine trays will not fall short of expectations and are much less likely to be faulty. This allows you to have a high degree of confidence when you buy your melamine tray that it is not going to have any issues and if there are any faults or problems that the company behind the brand will respond favourably in terms of correcting the problem.

With a not unreasonable expectation that your Portmeirion or Pimpernel trays, UK designed range, will last for many years, it is important that the design or aesthetic of the melamine tray maintains a level of freshness throughout this time. This is particularly relevant with melamine serving trays where the design is part of the surface and in particular has to withstand the rigours of a dishwasher.

UK brands of trays

With a choice of UK made trays to select from, brands that stand out are Customworks and Selbrae House, both with factories in Scotland where they produce a stylish range of tableware products, including trays. Selbrae House were previously known as The Just Slate Company where they produced a wide range of gift and tableware items initially made from natural slate, but the range grew to include other materials.

With their range of UK made slate trays, Selbrae House have brought a very elegant look to many homes around Britain and the world. With stylishly shaped stainless handles and with the use of natural black slate which is quarried overseas and then cut by hand in Scotland into the various shapes and sizes to suit their range of slate trays.

Customworks which now includes the Castle Melamine brand, produce a wide range of tabletop products for the kitchen and home. Well known for their quality cushioned lap trays with fun and floral designs, as well as their traditional melamine tablemats and coasters.

The Customworks lap trays are manufactured in their UK factory and have a durable, food safe melamine surface and a bean bag type of base. This cushioned base of the lap trays adjusts to the shape of your legs, keeping the working surface level for your dinner plates, drinks or lap top.
