We’ve been using these Polythene Blue Tinted Tray Liners in our food production area, and they’ve proven to be a fantastic choice. The blue tint makes them easily identifiable — ideal for food safety protocols — while the polythene material offers excellent strength and durability.
They fit perfectly into our trays, helping to maintain hygiene and reduce the need for deep cleaning between batches. The liners seem to be leak resistant and reliable, even when handling moist or greasy products. They also make product handling faster and more efficient, especially when switching between different food types.
A must-have in my opinion.
