Product Description
This APS tray is a full GN 1/1 melamine serving and display piece finished in a slate effect that gives it a natural, stone-like appearance without the weight or fragility of real slate. It is commonly used for buffet presentation, cold display counters, and self-service stations where operators want a clean, contemporary look at a practical price point.
Melamine is a well-established material in commercial catering for exactly this type of application. It holds its appearance under regular use, resists moisture, and is straightforward to clean. The slate effect finish in particular tends to hide minor surface marks and water residue better than a gloss finish would, which matters during a busy buffet service when there is rarely time to wipe down between guests.
The chrome-plated handles serve a functional purpose beyond appearance — they allow trays to be stacked securely for storage or transport between prep areas and front-of-house, reducing the footprint when the trays are not in use.
- Slate effect finish suits contemporary buffet and display presentations
- Melamine construction handles regular commercial use reliably
- Chrome stacking handles allow compact, stable storage
- Full GN 1/1 footprint integrates with standard gastronorm systems
- Practical surface finish conceals minor marks during service
This tray is well suited to hotels, event caterers, pub restaurants, and any operation running a buffet or cold display where presentation matters but durability is equally important. It is a single-tray format; operators running large-scale buffet lines with high throughput may want to consider deeper or higher-capacity display options depending on the volume being served.
If you are building out a buffet display setup and want guidance on quantities, configurations, or compatible accessories, the team is happy to help you work through the practicalities.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Melamine trays of this type are generally intended for ambient or cold food display rather than direct hot service. If you need trays for hot buffet use, a different material such as stainless steel or a purpose-designed heated display solution would be more appropriate.
- Melamine is typically not recommended for commercial dishwasher use at high temperatures, as repeated exposure can cause the surface finish to deteriorate over time. Hand washing or low-temperature cleaning is advisable to maintain the slate effect appearance.
- That depends on the number of dishes being presented and the layout of your display. A single GN 1/1 tray covers a full gastronorm position, so most operators work backwards from their menu and counter dimensions. If you are planning a larger setup, it is worth speaking to us about how these trays fit alongside other display pieces.
