New Ready Meal Trays: Built for every stage of your production line – locally

Introducing Bonson’s recyclable polypropylene ready meal trays, designed and manufactured in New Zealand, for food producers who can’t afford compromises.
Modern ready meal production demands a lot from its packaging. Trays need to survive freezing temperatures, handle hot fills, endure microwave reheating, and still look great on the supermarket shelf. Finding one solution that ticks every box, while sourcing locally, has never been easy. Until now.
Bonson’s new ready meal trays are manufactured locally from food-grade polypropylene. A material chosen for its versatility, durability, and recyclability. Whether you’re running a frozen meals line, chilled convenience and impulse meals, hot-filling soups or curries, or producing microwave-ready dishes, these trays perform consistently at every temperature extreme your process demands.

A partner, not just a supplier
At Bonson, we recognise that no two production operations are identical. Line speeds, fill temperatures, sealing equipment, and retail requirements all vary. That’s why our team works directly with customers to ensure the packaging solution integrates seamlessly into your specific process, not the other way around.
If you’re evaluating packaging for a new product line, scaling up an existing range, or simply looking for a more reliable local alternative, we’d love to have that conversation.
