Abstract
Trays are designed to allow an individual to carry their food on a tray where the individual has complete control of the tray with one hand. The tray can be customized for a particular food vendor's menu. At the same time, the tray allows for advertising information on the front view. The tray is constructed for a one time use and therefore is made from a thin plastic or cardboard.
