Question: What is a Foot Lock Tray, and how is it different from a standard tray?
Answer: A Foot Lock Tray is a type of packaging tray characterized by its secure closing mechanism. Unlike a standard tray which might rely solely on flaps or glue, a Foot Lock Tray features interlocking 'feet' that fold and securely lock the tray together, providing enhanced stability and preventing accidental opening during transit or display. This makes it ideal for heavier or more delicate items.
Question: What materials are available for Foot Lock Trays at CustomizedPackagingBoxes.co.uk?

Question: What printing options do you offer for Foot Lock Trays, and which is best for me?
Answer: We offer digital, litho, and flexo printing. Digital printing is ideal for short runs and variable data printing (e.g., numbering or different designs on each box).

Answer: Foot Lock Trays are designed for easy assembly. Typically, they are shipped flat to save on storage and shipping costs.

We can provide assembly instructions and diagrams with your order if needed.
