Hawker Tray for Product Giveaways

For a giveaway, we suggest using the front graphic to show guests what they can pick up. Keep the gifts inside the tray and any vouchers or offer cards in an outside pocket, so your team can reach them without reopening the lid.

Canned Cocktail Sampling

For a tasting with several canned cocktails, we suggest keeping one can of each variety within easy reach. Your team can show guests the label as they explain the options, then close the lid between rounds.

Cosmetics Sampling at the Airport

For cosmetics sampling, we suggest sorting sealed samples by product and keeping brochures in a separate section of the tray. That way, staff can find the right sample during a brief conversation and give travelers the product details to read later.

Custom Graphics for Hawker Trays

We suggest pairing a short message like “Free Product Samples” with a clear product photo. Place the message near the center of the front panel so guests can read it easily as your team approaches.

How to Fit the Shoulder Harness

We suggest adjusting the padded shoulder straps with the tray empty. Set them so the tray sits level at your waist, then load it with what you plan to carry. Check that you can reach the lid handle and open the tray without leaning forward.

How to Change the Front Graphic

We use a clear cover to hold the printed graphic in place. To change the design, open the cover, remove the old print, and lay the new one flat before closing it. If you’re preparing for several events, we suggest labeling the back of each print with the campaign name.

Product Sampling at Sports Venues

At a sports venue, we suggest setting up beside the main walkway where guests have room to stop. Your team can offer a packaged sample, answer a quick question, or hand out a brochure while other spectators keep moving.

Front Graphics for Different Event Teams

When several teams work the same event, we suggest keeping the colors and typeface consistent across the front panels. Give each team its own label, such as “Cold Drinks,” “Free Samples,” or “Information,” so guests know who to approach.

XL Hawker Tray Setup and Specifications

We make the BT4003 with an insulated tarpaulin body, a removable lid, and two outside pockets for small service items. The tray is 15.4 inches (39 cm) deep.

Four-Section Divider

Use the flexible divider to separate snack packs, sample packets, or small cartons. If your team offers several flavors, give each one its own section so staff can find it quickly.

Optional 15-Hole Insert

The half-round insert helps keep compatible cans and bottles upright. Each opening is 2.76 inches (70 mm) across, and the insert itself is about 2 inches (50 mm) tall. Check the widest part of your container that needs to pass through the opening, then try closing the lid with the container in place.
