Zeropac dishes and trays span two working worlds: black corrugated catering trays for presenting and moving food at events, and single-use clinical dishes and trays for hospitals, clinics and aged care. The catering trays use sturdy corrugated board with a clean black finish that frames platters, grazing spreads and buffet displays. The clinical items use bright white kidney dishes and compostable sugarcane injection trays for procedures, dressings and instrument handling. One collection covers both presentation and point-of-care needs.

Corrugated board gives the catering trays rigidity to carry weight without flexing, while the raised walls keep food contained in transit. The sugarcane bagasse injection tray is moulded from a renewable plant fibre and breaks down in commercial composting. The kidney dish holds 700ml and suits fluids, swabs and used consumables at the bedside. Australian stock held in Sydney for fast dispatch to caterers, event companies, hospitals, clinics, dental practices, aged care facilities and pathology labs.

Six options available from a 200 x 70mm injection tray up to a 560 x 255mm large catering tray, across corrugated board and sugarcane bagasse. See the table below for details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the black corrugated catering trays grease-resistant?+

The trays handle typical catering foods such as grazing items, canapes and finger food well. For very oily or saucy dishes, line the tray with greaseproof paper or a food board to protect the surface and keep presentation clean. The trays are intended for short-term serving and transport rather than long liquid contact.

Are the kidney dish and injection tray sterile?+

These are single-use clinical items, not supplied sterile. They are designed to be used once and then discarded to support hygiene at the point of care. If your procedure requires a sterile field, use these items alongside your facility's sterile protocols and consumables rather than as a sterile component.

Is the sugarcane injection tray compostable?+

Yes. The injection tray is moulded from sugarcane bagasse, a renewable plant fibre, and breaks down in commercial composting facilities. Compost only trays that have held non-hazardous, non-contaminated items. Any tray used with clinical or contaminated material must follow your facility's waste disposal procedures instead.

What is the difference between the corrugated and bagasse items?+

The catering trays are made from corrugated board, which gives rigidity to carry loaded platters and is recyclable through paper streams. The injection tray is moulded from sugarcane bagasse, a plant fibre that is compostable in commercial facilities. Choose corrugated for presentation and transport strength, and bagasse for a lower-waste single-use clinical item.

How much weight can the catering trays hold?+

The corrugated board holds typical platter loads such as grazing spreads, sandwiches and finger food without flexing. The larger 430 x 290mm and 560 x 255mm trays carry heavier shared platters, while the small and medium sizes suit lighter canape service. Support the base when carrying a fully loaded tray and avoid overloading beyond a comfortable single-person lift.

Are the kidney dishes suitable for clinical procedures?+

Yes. The white 700ml kidney dish is designed for clinical use such as wound cleaning, dressing changes and collecting fluids, swabs and used consumables at the bedside. It is a single-use item discarded after each patient. The 700ml capacity and curved shape make it easy to hold against the body while catching fluids during a procedure.
