One Tray, Two Cargoes Held Apart

The oval tray splits into a wide upper cradle shaped for the paddle face and four round wells running along the base for the balls. Each cavity is pressed to its own depth, so the paddle sits flush at the top while the balls nest low enough that the handle passes between them without touching either row.

Ball Wells Sized to Stop Rattling

The four ball pockets are pressed just under ball diameter, so each one sits held rather than loose against the fiber wall. Grouped in pairs on either side of the handle channel, they keep the balls from knocking into the paddle rubber during shipping, a common point of surface damage in flatter packaging that maintains freshness poorly for rubber-faced gear.

Undyed Pulp That Breaks Down After Use

Left in its raw, uncoated tone, the tray skips the plastic blister trays typical of racket sets and returns to soil-safe fiber once discarded. The oval outline fits standard mailer boxes without extra trimming, and the open-cavity design lets the paddle and balls be inspected at a glance before the outer box is even opened.
