Open a tray of fresh meat or fish and you’ll often find liquid sitting at the bottom. It looks off-putting, it smells stronger than it should, and it makes the product look old faster than it actually is.
The Socker Pad 280 × 385 stops that from happening. Dubai Dry Ice supplies these pads in a size made for standard food trays, so liquid gets pulled away and the product stays clean and fresh-looking from the moment it’s packed.

Meat, poultry, and seafood give off liquid on their own, even when kept properly cold. If that liquid just sits at the bottom of the tray, three things happen: the product looks older than it is, bacteria grow faster in the standing liquid, and things get messy the second the pack is opened.
For anyone selling food, that pool of liquid is often the first thing a shopper notices, and that first look matters more than most people realize.
A socker pad goes underneath the product, right inside the tray, and soaks up liquid as it comes out. The top stays dry to the touch while letting moisture pass through and get trapped below, so the tray looks clean even hours after it was packed.
It’s a small, simple fix, but it does two things at once: it makes the product look better on the shelf, and it slows down the bacteria growth that comes from liquid sitting around too long.
This size matches the trays most commonly used by supermarkets, butchers, and fish counters across the UAE. It covers the full base of a standard tray, so there’s no gap or corner left for liquid to pool untouched, and it’s not oversized either, so you’re not paying for more material than you need.
For businesses moving high volumes every day, sticking to one size that fits most trays also makes ordering and stock a lot simpler.
Supermarkets and butcher counters use them under fresh meat and poultry on display. Fish sellers use them to keep seafood trays looking good through a full day out front. Restaurants and catering kitchens use them while prepping and storing trays before service. Distributors packing meat or seafood in bulk use them to cut down on mess and spoilage during delivery.
Supermarket chains restocking fresh counters every day. Independent butchers and fishmongers who need their displays looking sharp for walk-in customers. Food distributors packing product for wholesale orders. Catering teams prepping trays ahead of events, where how it looks matters just as much as how fresh it is.
Socker pads fit easily alongside anything else you order from Dubai Dry Ice, whether that’s dry ice for cold transport or other packaging for the same products. Instead of treating it as a separate order, our team just adds it to your existing delivery schedule, so restocking pads doesn’t mean finding a new supplier or juggling another delivery slot.
Yes, for normal daily volumes. If a cut releases more liquid than usual, or sits out longer, it's worth checking the tray a bit more often.
Yes. They're made to sit directly under fresh food, so there's no need for any extra lining between the pad and the product.
Yes. This is one of our regular sizes. Tell our team your other tray dimensions and we'll let you know what else we stock.
No. They're built only to soak up liquid and don't add any smell or residue to whatever's sitting on top.
