A tray liner is a piece of paper that’s placed between the tray and the foods you order.

Some of the modern ones, if they didn’t come with my food on them, would make pretty good posters. They had all sorts of facts about some topic on them, such as the Olympics (when that is happening), with cartoon illustrations.
