Many disposable food service products can be made of plastic or plastic coated paper: such as cups, plates, bowls, trays, food containers and tableware. Plastic is used because the material is light in weight and maintains the temperature of cold/hot food and beverages.


Foam polystyrene (sometimes called polystyrene foam plastic) is one of the common types of plastics used for food service packaging. In the form of foam food containers, non foam polystyrene is sometimes used for plastic tableware or plastic lunch boxes, and polyethylene and other plastics are also used.


Disposable catering service products made of paper, cardboard and corrugated fiberboard: including cups, plates, bowls, napkins, handbags, trays, egg boxes, tablecloths and tray liners.


Some paper products are coated - mostly plastic - or treated to improve wet strength or grease resistance. Cardboard and cardboard packaging, such as pizza tray, French fries tray, Chinese noodle soup box, hamburger clam shell tray, are developed by the printer using paper conversion equipment, such as tray forming machine.
