What’s the difference between a Non Slip and Non Skid Tray Liner?

The terms Non-slip and Non-skid are often used interchangeably, especially in products like tray liners, but there are subtle differences in usage depending on the industry or product context. Here's a breakdown of the differences: 

Non-Slip Tray Liner

• Focus: Prevents items placed on the liner from sliding.

• Function: Has a grippy surface that holds dishes, cups, or utensils in place.

• Common Use: Restaurant trays, tool drawers, shelves where objects need to stay put.

Non-Skid Tray Liner

• Focus: Prevents the liner itself from sliding on the surface it’s placed on.

• Function: The bottom of the liner grips the tray or table to prevent movement.

• Common Use: Trays carried in healthcare or food service where stability is important.

• Surface Texture: May have a slightly tacky or textured bottom layer.

In Practice

Prestige’s Tray Liners, and indeed all of our tabletop products are both non-slip and non-skid, meaning:

• They hold items in place (non-slip).

• They stay put themselves (non-skid).

So if you're buying tray liners, the key is to look for both properties unless you have a specific need for one over the other.
