These Olympia Kristallon compartment trays are a small-format polycarbonate tray with moulded food compartments, sized at 322mm wide. Sold in packs of ten, they are designed for self-service environments where a standard tray and separate crockery setup is impractical or too fragile for the setting.

Polycarbonate is the material of choice in high-turnover, high-risk environments for good reason. Unlike melamine or ceramic alternatives, these trays can take repeated drops onto hard floors without shattering — a meaningful consideration in schools, hospital wards, care homes, and prison facilities where crockery breakage creates both a safety hazard and an ongoing replacement cost. The compartment design keeps food portions separated without the need for additional bowls or plates, which also speeds up clearing and washing between service rounds.

In practice, the trays work well where:

  • Self-service or assisted-service meals need to be pre-plated efficiently
  • Crockery breakage is a genuine concern — either safety-related or cost-related
  • Dishwasher turnaround needs to be quick between sittings
  • Storage space is limited and stackability matters
  • A consistent, colour-coded system helps staff or service users identify portions

Being polycarbonate rather than metal or heavy melamine, these trays are relatively lightweight, which can make them more manageable for service users with limited strength or dexterity. The blue colour also lends itself to colour-coded systems, which some sites use to distinguish dietary requirements or service areas.

These are suited to smaller portion sizes given the 322mm format — worth considering if your operation serves adult meals with multiple full-sized components, where a larger tray format may be more appropriate. For sites serving children or where compact trolley storage is a priority, the sizing is well suited.

If you are unsure whether this format fits your service setup or trolley system, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently asked questions

Are these trays suitable for commercial dishwashers?

Polycarbonate is generally dishwasher-safe at standard commercial wash temperatures, though repeated high-temperature cycles over time can cause some dulling of the surface. It is worth checking the maximum wash temperature your machine operates at against the manufacturer's guidance to ensure longevity, particularly in high-cycle environments.

Is the 322mm size suitable for adult meal service?

The 322mm width is considered a small-format tray, which works well for children's meals, snack service, or settings where trolley space is limited. For full adult meal service with multiple components, a larger compartment tray format typically provides more comfortable portioning — it is worth considering your menu layout before committing to this size.

How does polycarbonate compare to melamine for this type of use?

Polycarbonate is significantly more impact-resistant than melamine and far less likely to crack or shatter when dropped, making it the preferred choice in environments where user safety or frequent handling is a concern. Melamine is generally heavier and can have a more traditional appearance, but where durability under daily heavy use is the priority, polycarbonate tends to perform better over time.
