Every year, British Pie Week celebrates one of the UK’s most beloved culinary traditions — the humble pie.
From classic steak and ale to chicken and mushroom, sweet fruit pies, and modern gourmet creations, pies have been a cornerstone of British baking for generations. Today, that tradition continues not only in local bakeries but also in food manufacturing, ready meals, hospitality, and retail food service across the world.
At Coppice, we’re proud to support many of the businesses behind these delicious creations by supplying high-quality aluminium foil trays designed specifically for baking and food packaging.
A Tradition of Craftsmanship and Innovation
Pie making is both an art and a science.
The perfect pie requires:
-
A crisp, evenly baked pastry
-
Consistent heat distribution
-
Structural support to maintain shape
-
Reliable packaging for cooking, serving, and transportation
Aluminium foil trays have become a trusted solution for bakeries and food producers because they help achieve consistent baking results while offering practical benefits throughout the production and supply chain.
With over 50 years of experience in aluminium packaging, Coppice has built a reputation for delivering high-quality trays trusted by food producers around the world.
Why Aluminium Foil Trays Are Ideal for Pies
Aluminium trays are widely used in bakery production because they provide several advantages that improve both cooking performance and operational efficiency.
Even Heat Distribution
Aluminium is an excellent heat conductor, allowing pies to cook evenly and helping achieve the perfect golden crust.
Oven-to-Table Convenience
Foil trays allow pies to be baked, transported, and served in the same container — reducing handling and improving efficiency in busy kitchens.
Strength and Reliability
High-quality foil containers maintain their structure during baking, cooling, and transportation, protecting the product and ensuring consistent presentation.
Versatile Shapes and Sizes
From individual pie portions to larger family pies or ready-meal formats, aluminium trays we offer a wide range of shapes, depths, and dimensions to suit different bakery requirements.
Supporting Bakeries and Food Producers Worldwide
While British Pie Week celebrates a UK tradition, pies are enjoyed across the globe.
From artisan bakeries to large-scale food manufacturers, producers rely on dependable packaging that supports both production efficiency and product quality.
At Coppice, we work with customers across multiple sectors, including:

Sustainable Packaging for the Future
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important across the food industry, and aluminium plays a key role in helping businesses reduce environmental impact.
Aluminium packaging offers several sustainability benefits:
-
Infinitely recyclable without loss of quality
-
Recycling aluminium saves up to 95% of the energy required to produce virgin aluminium
-
High scrap value encourages recycling and circular material use
These properties make aluminium trays a responsible choice for businesses looking to combine performance with environmental responsibility.
