The hospitality and catering industry depends on plastic components in ways that are rarely visible to the end guest but are fundamental to the efficient and hygienic operation of hotels, restaurants, airlines, and event catering businesses. Vacuum forming is a primary manufacturing process for many of these components, and at Jabro Games we have experience producing items for clients across the hospitality sector.
Airline and Travel Catering Trays
Airline catering trays are among the most demanding applications in the hospitality sector — they must be lightweight, dimensionally precise, hygienic, resistant to the temperatures of in-flight heating equipment, and capable of presenting multiple food components neatly in defined compartments. Vacuum formed polypropylene and CPET (crystallised PET) trays meet all of these requirements, with CPET in particular offering the temperature resistance needed for both conventional and microwave oven use.
Hotel Amenity Packaging
The packaging of hotel room amenities — toiletries, welcome gifts, informational materials — is an important touchpoint in the guest experience. Custom vacuum formed inserts present amenity items in defined positions, ensuring a consistent and premium presentation regardless of who assembles the package. The insert also protects delicate items during handling and housekeeping operations.
Buffet and Catering Display Components
Vacuum formed display trays, portion dividers, and buffet presentation components allow catering teams to present food attractively and consistently across large service operations. Custom-formed trays can be designed to match specific serving vessel dimensions and to present specific food items in the most visually appealing way.
Event and Banqueting Packaging
For events and banqueting operations that pre-package food items for large numbers of guests, vacuum formed clamshells and trays provide a hygienic, consistent, and visually appropriate presentation. The ability to produce custom sizes and configurations allows packaging to be tailored to the specific menu items and service style of each event.
