Why do Airlines like Prestige Non Slip Tabletop Solutions?

International and Domestic Airlines have selected Prestige’s Non Slip solutions for decades.  We provide major airlines with tray liners, tray mats, doilies, and coasters to leading airlines that are safer, smarter, and greener than their coated-paper equivalents.

Here are some of the safety, operational, and regulatory reasons why our Non Slip products are important, and why airlines have selected Prestige over many years.

Passenger & Crew Safety

• Prevent slips and falls: With many people moving through the aircraft—especially in narrow aisles or bathrooms—Non-Slip tabletop disposables reduce the risk of accidents, especially during turbulence. They also prevent liquids from spilling on the floor which in turn, would make movement through the aircraft even more risky. 

• Cabin crew mobility: Flight attendants are constantly walking and serving passengers; they need both the food and drinks on serving trays to be stable and not spilling on passengers or parts of the aircraft.

• Ability to wipe clean quickly: No tabletop product is perfect. Slips and Spills will occur even with the most experienced staff and during quiet times. Some Non Slip tabletop items are made from coated-paper, while Prestige’s products are specially made with a unique PS mono- material that is both Non-Slip and Non-Porous. If a small spill occurs, cleanup of a Presitge Non Slip product is easy because, unlike their paper counterparts, our products do not absorb liquids or grease.

Aircraft-Specific Challenges

• Take-off, landing & turbulence: Sudden movements can throw people off balance, and non-slip disposable helps reduce the risk of slips and spills.

• Compact space: Limited room to manoeuvre makes slipping even more dangerous, as people can’t easily catch themselves. A Non-Slip tray liners prevents slips and spills which happen more often in cramp quarters.

Regulatory Compliance

• Aviation safety standards: Agencies like the FAA and the EASA require airlines to meet certain safety criteria, which can include slip resistance, in specific areas like galleys and lavatories. We extend that coverage through the entire, Food & Beverage service.

Operational Efficiency

• Reduced liability: Fewer slip-related injuries mean fewer compensation claims and less legal exposure for airlines. This is important in many countries, including the United States, where the risk of litigation is high. 

• Maintenance: Durable non-slip surfaces are easier to clean and maintain, especially in high-traffic areas.

Slip Test

• Slip Test: A tray with a Prestige Tray Liner and a full plate of food, glass of wine, and cutlery, can be titled to 30%, and it will not slip or spill

Branding & Communication

• Branding and Advertising - some airlines use custom non-slip placemats for branding, advertising, or including safety messages, which adds a nice touch to the onboard experience.

• Embossing and Printing - Prestige can provide both embossing and single-color branding on its table top solutions.
