Fresh fruits require smart packaging that keeps them safe. Your brand also needs packaging that makes it stand out. Generic, off-the-shelf options often fail. They do not provide enough protection during shipping. Generic boxes can leave fruit bruised, wilted, or unnoticed. They also miss a valuable opportunity to showcase your brand.By contrast, a well-designed corrugated tray protects produce in transit and reinforces your brand on the store shelf. The solution is custom wholesale fruit trays, made right here at our Malaysian factory. Our Malaysian factory produces custom corrugated cardboard trays in any size or shape, so each batch of fruits stays fresh and arrives looking great. These trays are eco-friendly and cost-effective, making them ideal for bulk orders. We’ll show you how Malaysian-made trays deliver value: they cost less than imported boxes, meet international standards like FSC® (FSC-C203504), and can be fully customized. Read on to see how custom fruit trays solve packaging problems while enhancing your brand.

Why Choose Malaysian-Made Corrugated Fruit Trays
Malaysia is a leading hub for manufacturing. This gives our customers a significant advantage. As a premier corrugated cardboard tray manufacturer Malaysia, we combine high-quality materials with cost-effective production. The result is a superior packaging solution that supports your business goals.
Superior Corrugated Cardboard Construction
Our corrugated cardboard is not just paper. It is an engineered material designed for performance. The fluted cardboard lining creates air pockets, giving trays both high strength and lightweight support.
Moisture Absorption: Fresh fruits release moisture. Our trays are designed to manage this condensation.Corrugated is also excellent at managing moisture: it absorbs humidity during transit, helping prevent mold and spoilage. Ventilated corrugated trays allow airflow to cool produce and keep fruits fresh. In tropical climates like Southeast Asia, we can add moisture-protective coatings to further resist humidity.
Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Corrugated cardboard is incredibly strong yet lightweight. This high strength-to-weight ratio means it can be stacked high without crushing the fruit inside. It also reduces shipping costs compared to heavier materials like plastic or wood.
Temperature Resistance: Malaysia’s tropical climate demands packaging that can handle heat and humidity. Our trays provide excellent insulation, protecting sensitive fruits from temperature fluctuations during transit and storage.
Competitive Manufacturing Costs
Choosing a Malaysian manufacturer gives you a direct cost advantage. We pass these savings on to you. With in-house production, we control every step. We source Kraft liner and recycled fiber locally, which cuts material costs. And because our plant is agile, we can ramp up volumes quickly for large orders. In practice, this means a cost reduction by buying direct, savings from using local corrugated stock. Together, these advantages make Malaysian trays some of the lowest-cost options for bulk produce packaging.
Lower Labor and Material Costs: Operational costs in Malaysia are more competitive than in Western countries. This allows us to offer low-cost fruit box packaging without compromising on quality.
No Import Duties for Regional Shipping: For our clients in Singapore and other ASEAN countries, sourcing from Malaysia means smoother, faster, and often tariff-free trade.

Today’s consumers care about the environment. Your packaging choice reflects your company’s values. We are proud to offer FSC®-certified tray packaging in Malaysia, a solution that is good for your business and the planet.
Environmental Responsibility Meets Business Needs
Choosing sustainable packaging is a smart business decision. It shows your commitment to protecting natural resources, especially for B2B clients. It also meets retailer demands: surveys show that about 80% of consumers expect companies to ensure their paper and wood products “do not contribute to deforestation”. In other words, customers increasingly prefer eco-friendly fruit tray packaging.
FSC® Certification Explained: The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) is a global organization that promotes responsible forest management. FSC® certification means the paper used in our trays comes from forests that are managed sustainably. This ensures that the habitats of plants and animals are protected.
Biodegradable and Recyclable: Our corrugated trays are made from renewable resources. They are 100% recyclable and can be processed into new paper products. They are also biodegradable, breaking down naturally without harming the environment.
Carbon Footprint Reduction: Manufacturing corrugated cardboard requires less energy and produces fewer emissions than producing plastic alternatives. By choosing our eco-friendly fruit tray packaging, you are actively lowering your company’s carbon footprint.
Meeting International Standards
Our eco-friendly credentials help you access global markets. Many countries and large retailers now require suppliers to use sustainable packaging.
Export Compliance: FSC® certification is a globally recognized standard. It ensures your packaging meets the strict environmental regulations of markets in Europe, North America, and Australia.
