Hey everyone! I was away from the forum for a bit after finishing the illustrations/logo/instructions for the tray, but had to share how great the finished replica turned out, courtesy of

Thanks Markus! I used a combination of 4K screenshots, Blu-ray screenshots, and production photographs of the props as reference, and I recreated each of the illustrations as closely as possible to the originals by essentially redrawing them on Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Sorry, I won't be making the high-res versions available since joberg and I will be selling these trays. Please PM him if you're interested in purchasing one.
Here's a little curiosity I came across: Someone tweeted images from the recent Stanley Kubrick exhibition at the Design Museum in London of the concept sketches for this food tray prop, and a photo of a tray that wasn't seen on screen but must've been used in production. As you can see, most of the Liquipaks are the same as the ones in the tray we've replicated, but with the addition of what looks like ham and fried egg (?). Just an interesting alternate version of the more iconic prop.
