In the state of the art, numerous trays are known, so as to protect clothing from crumbs or droplets that fall down when eating a meal during a car ride or train ride. It is true that these trays catch everything, as desired, but for the remainder they are quite impractical, since the open tray with the droplets or crumbs stands in the car or train and must be cleaned before being stowed away or is actually only available as a disposable solution. Other solutions are too large to be conveniently stowed away after use.

For this reason, a foldable tray is proposed, which can be folded up in sealed manner after use, into a compact unit, without the crumbs or droplets being able to exit from the unit. This is possible by means of division of a base plate having a connected apron, wherein the base plate consists of two parts that can be folded up, between which the apron can be laid.
