Which MaxFlex Prison or Jail Food Tray Is Right for Your Facility?

MaxFlex compartment trays are specifically built for higher-security environments where standard copolymer trays may pose a risk. The exclusive MaxFlex polymer flexes on impact rather than breaking, which significantly reduces the potential for a tray to be sharpened or used as a weapon. For facilities evaluating MaxFlex, the key decisions come down to compartment count and tray size.

The 3-compartment MaxFlex trays — available in large and medium sizes — are the most widely used option for standard prison and jail meal service. The 4-compartment large tray adds a section for facilities that separate entrees, sides, and desserts individually. The 6-compartment deep and super stack trays support full multi-item meal service in high-volume cafeteria settings. The 7-compartment base tray offers maximum portion separation for complex menus. For secure unit delivery, the MaxFlex Self-Locking SmartTray features a self-locking lid system designed specifically for pass-through and cell service.

All MaxFlex trays are dishwasher safe and designed for hundreds of daily use cycles, making them a cost-effective long-term investment compared to disposable alternatives.
