Baking Better — with Aluminium That’s Built to Perform
Every October, National Baking Week invites us to celebrate the joy of baking — from small kitchen experiments to large-scale commercial production. It’s a time to recognise the skill, creativity, and precision that goes into every tart, pie, and traybake that makes its way to the table.
At Coppice, baking isn’t just a passion — it’s part of our heritage. For over 50 years, we’ve proudly supplied the UK’s bakery and food manufacturing industries with high-quality aluminium trays and foils, trusted for their performance, consistency, and sustainability. From traditional patisserie classics to modern air-fryer creations, Coppice trays help bakers deliver perfect results — every time.
Engineered for Precision: Why Bakers Choose Coppice
Baking is a science of heat, timing, and texture. That’s why professional bakers and food processors rely on aluminium packaging that performs with precision. Our trays are manufactured in South Wales, using advanced tooling and decades of engineering experience.
Coppice’s range includes:
-
Patty pans, fluted cases, and custard dishes for traditional pastries and tarts
-
Flan and pie dishes available in both plain and perforated bases
-
Smoothwall trays for ready meals and desserts
-
Rectangular and square formats perfect for traybakes, brownies, and sponge cakes
Each tray is designed to ensure even heat distribution, stability, and reliability in baking lines — giving both artisan bakers and industrial producers the confidence to focus on their craft.
Infinitely Recyclable: Aluminium for a Sustainable Future
Aluminium is one of the most sustainable materials on the planet — and that’s something worth celebrating.
Unlike many other materials, aluminium can be recycled infinitely without any loss in quality or performance. Recycling aluminium saves up to 95% of the energy required to produce it from raw material, making it a cornerstone of a circular economy.
By choosing Coppice trays, bakers aren’t just investing in high-performance packaging — they’re making a tangible commitment to sustainability. Every tray can be reused, recycled, and returned to the production cycle, reducing waste and supporting a greener supply chain.

Supporting Bakers at Every Scale

A Celebration of Craft and Innovation
As we mark National Baking Week, Coppice celebrates the people who make baking what it is — the professionals, innovators, and enthusiasts who continue to inspire the industry with creativity and care.
From traybakes and mince pies to tarts and puddings, every bake tells a story of craftsmanship. At Coppice, our role is to ensure those stories are delivered safely, beautifully, and sustainably — from the oven to the customer.
