222×178×20mm Black PP High Barrier VSP Tray

222 × 178 × 20 mm Black PP High Barrier VSP Tray

HSQY HSVSP is a black rectangular PP high barrier tray measuring 222 × 178 × 20 mm, approximately 8.7 × 7 × 0.8 inches. The 1-compartment low-profile tray is designed for vacuum skin packaging projects involving fresh meat, poultry, fish, seafood and other food products compatible with the tray and VSP process.

The 20 mm tray depth provides a shallow rigid base for vacuum skin packaging, while the 222 × 178 mm footprint offers a wider presentation area than smaller VSP tray formats. Final packaging performance should be evaluated with the actual tray structure, compatible vacuum skin film, product height, packaging equipment and process settings.

Product Specifications

Technical Note: The current product information states that PP high barrier trays can be laminated with materials such as EVOH and PE, but the exact multilayer structure for this HSVSP specification should be confirmed for the order. Final VSP performance also depends on the skin film, sealing surface, product height, vacuum cycle and packaging equipment.

PP High Barrier VSP Tray Structure

PP Structural Base

PP provides the primary rigid base of the tray and supports product loading, vacuum skin packaging, handling and packaged-food presentation.

Functional Barrier Layers

The current product description states that PP can be laminated with materials such as EVOH and PE for high-barrier tray applications. EVOH and other functional layers may therefore form part of project-specific multilayer tray structures.

Because the exact structure is not specified for this individual HSVSP model, buyers should confirm the approved material construction and sealing surface before commercial production.

Key Features

20 mm Low-Profile VSP Base

The 20 mm depth creates a shallow rigid base for vacuum skin packaging. The product can extend above the tray cavity while a suitable skin film forms closely around its contours, subject to film and machine capability.

222 × 178 mm Wide Footprint

The 222 × 178 mm rectangular footprint provides a wider product presentation area than narrower VSP tray formats. Buyers should compare usable tray area, product dimensions and sealing-flange geometry when selecting the tray.

Black Product Presentation

The black tray provides visual contrast beneath meat, poultry, seafood and other packaged foods when combined with a transparent vacuum skin film.

1-Compartment Format

The single-compartment design provides an uninterrupted product area for food portions that do not require divided sections.

Designed for Vacuum Skin Packaging

The HSVSP tray is intended for vacuum skin packaging projects where a formable skin film is heated, drawn around the food under vacuum and sealed to a compatible tray surface.

Project-Specific Options

HSQY lists PP high barrier trays in multiple styles, sizes and colors. The current product information also states that logo customization can be discussed according to project requirements.

Food Packaging Applications

The 222 × 178 × 20 mm black PP high barrier VSP tray can be evaluated for applications including:

• Fresh meat packaging

• Steak and portioned meat packs

• Poultry packaging

• Fish and seafood packaging

• Selected processed meat products

• Selected chilled prepared foods

• Other products suitable for a validated VSP process

Final suitability should be confirmed according to the packed product dimensions, product height, tray sealing surface, skin-film specification, required barrier level and VSP equipment.

For other vacuum skin packaging tray sizes, buyers can review the HSQY VSP Tray range.

Why Choose a 20 mm Low-Profile VSP Tray?

Vacuum skin packaging does not require the packed product to remain completely below the top edge of a deep tray. A shallow rigid base can support the product while the skin film forms around the exposed product profile.

The 20 mm profile therefore provides a low base while the relatively wide 222 × 178 mm footprint offers room for broader food portions. Actual product protrusion should be checked against the forming capability of the selected skin film and packaging machine.

How Vacuum Skin Packaging Works

In vacuum skin packaging, the food product is positioned on or within a rigid tray. A dedicated skin film is heated until it becomes sufficiently formable, and air around the product is removed by the packaging machine.

The softened film forms closely around the product contours and seals to the compatible tray surface. The resulting package therefore depends on the interaction between the food shape, tray, skin film and VSP equipment.

Product Height and Protrusion

Because this tray is 20 mm deep, the height of the packed food relative to the tray sealing plane is an important selection factor. Products may extend above the tray base during vacuum skin packaging.

The acceptable protrusion depends on the skin-film forming capability, food geometry and VSP machine settings. Buyers should provide product height information when requesting a tray evaluation.

Vacuum Skin Film Compatibility

Vacuum skin packaging requires a film with suitable forming and sealing characteristics. A conventional flat tray lidding film should not automatically be assumed to be suitable for VSP use.

The selected skin film should be matched to the actual tray sealing surface, required forming depth, product shape and packaging-machine operating conditions. Commercial trials should verify the complete tray-and-film combination.

Shelf Life Depends on the Complete VSP System

The tray alone does not determine a fixed shelf life. Final package performance depends on the packed food, tray barrier structure, skin-film barrier, vacuum process, seal integrity, handling and storage conditions.

Commercial processors should validate the complete VSP package using the actual food product, tray, skin film, packaging equipment and intended distribution conditions before commercial production.

Selecting the Right VSP Tray

VSP tray selection should consider more than the outside dimensions alone. Buyers should evaluate usable sealing area, food dimensions, product height, product protrusion, barrier requirement, skin-film characteristics and VSP machine tooling.

When replacing an existing VSP tray, compare the 222 × 178 × 20 mm dimensions and flange configuration with the current tray and verify compatibility through packaging trials before commercial use.

Is this product a VSP tray?

Yes. The product is listed in the HSQY VSP Tray category, uses the HSVSP model designation and is described for vacuum skin packaging applications.

Why is this tray only 20 mm deep?

The 20 mm depth provides a low-profile rigid base. During VSP, a compatible skin film can form around a food product that extends above the tray cavity, subject to film and equipment capability.

Does this exact tray have a confirmed EVOH layer?

The current product description states that PP high barrier trays can be laminated with materials such as EVOH and PE, but it does not specify one fixed multilayer structure for this exact HSVSP model. The supplied structure should therefore be confirmed for the order.

Can a standard lidding film be used for vacuum skin packaging?

Not automatically. A VSP film requires suitable forming and sealing characteristics so it can conform around the product and bond to the tray. Compatibility should be verified with the tray and packaging equipment.

What is product protrusion in VSP packaging?

Product protrusion is the height that the food extends above the tray sealing plane. The acceptable protrusion depends on the skin-film forming capability, food shape and VSP machine settings.

Does this tray guarantee a specific shelf life?

No fixed shelf life should be determined from the tray alone. Final package performance depends on the food, tray structure, skin film, vacuum process, seal integrity and storage conditions.

What is the published PP temperature range?

The current product information lists a PP reference range of -16°C to +100°C. Actual suitability should be validated for the final tray structure, packed food, VSP process and storage conditions.
