Trays

A tray is a shallow container usually having larger base than side dimensions.  Trays are used to provide local support for collection items that reside on shelves or in drawers, especially when they are moved from one location to another. Trays are generally constructed of paper or plastic. Older trays made from wood or wood composites can emit volatile organic acids that may damage collection materials.
