The problem

Your line only runs when your packaging does.

Late deliveries, automation failures, slow repairs and limited capacity can stop production before your product ever ships.

A stopped packaging line under a red warning light

Misses the moment

Late packaging stops production. The order and the selling window won't wait.

Trays springing open and jamming on an automated line

Fights your line

Poorly designed trays mis-denest, spring open, jam equipment and slow the entire run.

Makes you wait

Outsourced tooling turns every adjustment or repair into another delay.

100%Recyclable · PET

Sustainability

One material. Nothing to sort.

Mono-material PET. No foam, no mixed materials. It recycles easily and can be built with PCR content. As foam bans expand across North America, PET keeps you ahead of the rules.

100% PET — One material
PCR-ready — Built for tomorrow
No foam — Ahead of the bans
One stream — Nothing extra to separate

Stock + custom

Cookie-cutter trays? Not our recipe.

Most suppliers make you choose between off-the-shelf and one-of-a-kind. Lucid runs both — from the same floor.

Stock

Proven bakery formats, warehoused and ready to ship. No tooling. No wait.

Custom

Tooling. Design. Prototyping. Ten CNC machines — under one roof.
