A paper tray machine is a highly versatile molded pulp equipment widely used in waste paper recycling and eco-friendly packaging production.
Taking the 1500 pcs/hour egg tray making machine as an example, this type of machine is not only suitable for producing standard egg trays, but can also manufacture many other kinds of paper pulp trays simply by changing molds.
This flexibility allows manufacturers to serve different industries with one production line while maximizing investment value.

Raw Materials Used by a Paper Tray Machine
Paper tray machines mainly use waste paper as raw materials, such as old newspapers, cartons, books, and cardboard. After pulping, molding, and drying, these recycled materials are transformed into strong, lightweight, and biodegradable trays. This process supports sustainable production and reduces environmental impact.
Egg Trays and Egg Cartons
Egg trays are the most common products made by paper tray machines. They are designed to securely hold eggs, prevent breakage, and allow easy stacking and transportation. With different molds, the machine can also produce egg cartons and egg boxes for retail packaging.

Fruit Trays and Agricultural Trays
By using customized molds, paper tray machines can produce fruit trays that protect apples, pears, peaches, and other delicate fruits during transport. In agriculture, the machine can also make seedling and nursery trays, which are widely used for planting and greenhouse cultivation.
Bottle and Cup Trays
Paper tray machines are capable of producing wine bottle trays, glass bottle trays, and cup holders. These trays provide excellent shock absorption and are commonly used in beverage packaging, logistics, and e-commerce to replace plastic foam packaging.
Industrial and Electronic Product Trays
For industrial applications, molded pulp trays are used to package electronic components, hardware parts, and fragile industrial products. These trays offer customized shapes, good cushioning performance, and environmentally friendly packaging solutions.

Medical and Special-Purpose Trays
Paper tray machines can also produce medical trays and hygienic packaging trays, suitable for holding medical supplies, disposable items, or healthcare products. The smooth surface and disposable nature make them ideal for one-time use applications.
Custom Molded Pulp Trays
One of the biggest advantages of a paper tray machine is its customization capability. Customers can design molds according to specific product sizes, shapes, and usage requirements, allowing the machine to produce fully customized paper trays for various industries.
Conclusión
In summary, a paper tray machine is not limited to egg tray production. It can manufacture a wide range of products including egg trays, fruit trays, bottle trays, nursery trays, industrial packaging trays, medical trays, and custom molded pulp products.

With simple mold replacement, manufacturers can easily expand product categories, meet different market demands, and build a sustainable and profitable paper tray business.
