How Business Owners Are Protecting Their Bakery Trays

Bakery trays are the backbone of any baking operation. Whether a small bakery or an industrial baking operation, plastic trays are incumbent in virtually all operations of the business. Be it in the baking process, preparation, cooling, display for customers or something else, bakery trays are essential.

Bakery trays, especially high quality plastic ones, do not come cheap. Coupled with the fact that bakeries require not one or 10, but hundreds if not thousands of bakery trays, the cost can be considerable. And the lure for thievery equally so. In fact, it is estimated by the American Bakers Association that the loss to bakeries due to tray theft is somewhere in the region of $75m annually.

Customizing bakery trays to make them look distinctive will have tremendous deterrence value. 

Reducing the incidence of bakery trays being appropriated will require methods more novel than simply 'tightening' security. By making bakery trays more unique and distinctive, businesses can enhance their own brand while reducing the appeal of illegally acquiring trays. And bakeries can have some fun too.
