The APS Pure melamine tray is a full GN 1/1 presentation surface designed for buffet counters, display stands, and serve-over setups. Made from melamine, it offers a clean, matte-white finish with straight outer edges and neatly formed corners that give a composed, professional appearance on the service line.

In practical use, melamine is a well-established material for front-of-house catering equipment. It holds its appearance under regular service conditions, resists surface staining better than plain plastic, and carries food items without flex or instability. The white finish works neutrally across different food types and colour palettes, which is useful when presenting varied buffet spreads.

• Straight outer edges integrate cleanly into structured display layouts
• GN 1/1 footprint aligns with standard gastronorm inserts and serving stands
• Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround between service periods
• Consistent white finish suits both formal and informal buffet presentation
• Lightweight enough to handle easily during setup and breakdown

Being GN 1/1 sized, these trays sit compatibly with standard gastronorm display stands and risers, which makes building a tiered or multi-level buffet layout straightforward without custom fittings. The trays are dishwasher safe, which is a practical consideration in any site running multiple buffet covers per day.

These trays are well suited to hotels, event caterers, restaurants with buffet service, and contract catering operations. For sites needing smaller presentation surfaces or fractional GN formats, smaller sizes within the APS Pure range may be more appropriate.

GN 1/2 A modern and contemporary range of white melamine buffet trays.

The APS Apart GN 1/1 buffet tray is a full-size rectangular melamine serving tray designed to sit within or alongside standard gastronorm buffet setups. Made from white melamine, it offers a clean, neutral presentation surface that suits a wide range of catering styles without dominating the table layout.

In practice, melamine trays of this type are a reliable workhorse across hotel breakfast operations, corporate buffets, conference catering, and event hospitality. The material handles repeated use well, resists light impact, and is straightforward to clean between services. The white finish keeps presentation consistent when used alongside other pieces from the APS Apart range.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Full GN 1/1 footprint integrates with standard buffet frames and gastronorm counters
• Melamine construction is lighter than ceramic and more durable than disposable alternatives
• Temperature-tolerant material suitable for cold buffet displays and ambient service
• White finish photographs well and maintains a tidy, consistent buffet aesthetic
• Easy to wipe down and stack for storage between events

It is worth noting that melamine is not suitable for microwave use and has a practical upper temperature limit, so this tray is best reserved for ambient or chilled buffet presentation rather than hot holding direct from an oven. It is also not intended for induction or direct heat sources.

This tray is well suited to hospitality venues, contract caterers, and event operators running buffet or display services where a uniform, professional presentation is needed. For operations requiring higher-capacity or tiered display solutions, larger format or elevated buffet accessories within the APS range may be worth considering.

75(W) x 75(L)mm | 3 x 3" Bento boxes are an essential part of speedy lunches in Japan and this APS Asia+ interpretation is equally adept for serving smaller portions or as part of your buffet presentation. The contrasting red and black colours make a striking combination with many foodstuffs and are great for contemporary restaurants which want statement crockery. Melamine is strong, durable and resistant to chipping and cracking, making these dishes great for institutional usage or simply to reduce your breakage-related overheads. Suitable for commercial dishwashing.

265(W) x 325(L)mm | 10 1/2 x 12 3/4" This GN 1/2 tray features a red and black colour contrast which is perfect for plating up Asian delicacies. Whether used alongside an APS chiller stand to serve the finest fresh sushi or for plating Chinese delicacies, this tray has a raised lip to prevent spillages and is designed to withstand extensive commercial usage in the busiest commercial environments. A wide range of alternative sizes are also available and this tray is suitable for commercial dishwashing.

The APS Asia+ Red Tray is a full GN 1/1 melamine serving tray designed for buffet presentation and self-service dining environments. Its red and black colourway draws on traditional bento box aesthetics, making it a practical choice for operators running Oriental-themed concepts, pan-Asian buffets, or contemporary self-service restaurants where visual coherence at the buffet counter matters.

In busy service conditions, melamine of this grade performs reliably. It resists the knocks and repeated handling that come with high-footfall buffet operations, and unlike ceramics or porcelain, it won't crack or shatter under normal commercial use. The tray is compatible with the wider APS Asia+ collection, so it can be combined with the range's stacking bowls and interlocking trays to build a coordinated buffet assortment without mismatched presentation.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are straightforward:

• Melamine construction handles heavy daily use without cracking or breaking
• GN 1/1 footprint fits standard buffet counters and display risers
• Part of a coordinated range, allowing consistent visual presentation across the buffet
• Lightweight relative to ceramic alternatives, reducing handling strain during setup
• Easy to clean down between service periods

There are no electrical, gas, or water installation requirements. Storage is the main practical consideration — at GN 1/1 size, stacking space in the back-of-house should be accounted for if you are running a large number of trays across multiple buffet stations.

This tray is best suited to all-you-can-eat restaurants, buffet-style dining operations, and corporate catering environments where durability and visual consistency are priorities. Operators running smaller buffet formats may find a half-size alternative more practical for their counter layout.

If you're putting together a full buffet assortment or want to confirm compatibility across the APS Asia+ range, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The subtle styling of the raised edge provides a slightly Oriental feel which makes it easy to combine this tray with other items from the APS Asia+ collection.

265(W) x 325(L)mm | 10 1/2 x 12 3/4" Maximise the visual appeal of any buffet with this large gloss white buffet platter. The raised edges protect against spillages and waste, whilst the melamine construction guards against breakages. Melamine is a compound which is incredibly strong and durable, as well as being able to be textured like a wide range of materials. As such, this sleek and contemporary tray has the look and feel of premium ceramics but is much more lightweight and infinitely less likely to scratch or break. A wide range of GN sizes are available, making these trays perfect for combining in order to create your perfect buffetware collection.

The APS Asia+ White Tray is a full GN 1/1 serving tray made from melamine, designed to sit cleanly within buffet and countertop service setups. Its plain white finish gives it a neutral, unobtrusive look that works across a range of hospitality settings — from hotel breakfast counters to corporate event catering and hostel dining.

Melamine is a practical choice for high-turnover service environments. It handles repeated handling and transport better than ceramic alternatives, and the surface is resistant to chipping under normal commercial use. That resilience makes it a sensible option where trays are moved frequently, stacked in quantity, or used by varied front-of-house staff across busy shifts.

From an operational standpoint, the main practical advantages are straightforward:

• Chip-resistant melamine surface reduces breakage costs over time
• Full GN 1/1 format fits standard buffet counters and display systems
• Compatible with commercial dishwashers, supporting fast turnaround between services
• Lightweight relative to ceramic, reducing handling fatigue during setup and clearing
• Neutral white finish suits a wide range of service styles and table presentations

Because this tray follows the GN 1/1 format, it integrates easily with standard buffet risers, chafing dish systems, and display stands already in use in most commercial kitchens. It is not intended for direct heat or oven use — it is a serving and display piece only.

This tray is well suited to hotels, conference venues, serviced hostels, and contract caterers running regular breakfast or buffet operations. For sites requiring smaller presentation units or different configurations, GN fractional sizes are worth considering as alternatives.
