This is a great question asked by many of our customers. 

Both non-slip tray liners and non-slip trays have their place in hospitality, but each comes with its own advantages depending on the context, budget, and priorities like hygiene, safety, and sustainability.


 Advantages of Prestige’s Disposable Non-Slip Tray Liners

  1. Hygiene & Cleanliness

    • Single-use: Reduces the risk of cross-contamination among guests.

    • Ideal for environments where cleanliness is high (e.g., healthcare, airlines, catering).

  2. Fast paced operations where spills are common 

    • Frequent slips and spills:  Prestige Products are also Non-Porous and do not absorb liquids or grease.

    • Small slips:  Can easily be wiped clean without destroying the liner.

  3. Cost-Effective Upfront

    • Lower initial investment than purchasing high-quality non-slip trays.

    • Good option for events, catering, or seasonal spikes where buying trays isn’t practical.

  4. Convenient & Labor-Saving

    • No need to wash or sanitize after use.

    • Saves time and labor, especially during high-volume service.

    • Reduced need for sanitation products

  5. Lightweight & Versatile

    • Easy to transport and store in bulk because they are thinner than tray.

    • Can be used on any type of tray to add grip—great for temporary upgrades.

  6. Customizable

    • Can include branding, marketing messages, or menus printed on the liners.

    • Creates a cleaner presentation while also enhancing guest experience.

Advantages of Non-Slip Trays

  1. Durability & Reusability

    • Long-term solution—eco-friendly when used over time.

    • Stronger material, less prone to damage from spills or drops.

  2. Consistent Grip

    • Built-in non-slip surface that doesn’t shift like a liner might.

    • Usually performs better in high-moisture or fast-paced environments.

  3. Sustainability

    • No waste from single-use materials—great for operations with green initiatives.

  4. Professional Appearance

    • Uniform and sleek look across service.

    • Perceived as more high-end or premium in many cases.
