243×163×25mm Black PP High Barrier VSP Tray

243 × 163 × 25 mm Black PP High Barrier VSP Tray

HSQY HSVSP is a black rectangular PP high barrier tray measuring 243 × 163 × 25 mm, approximately 9.6 × 6.4 × 1 inch. The 1-compartment low-profile format is designed for vacuum skin packaging projects involving fresh meat, fish, poultry and other products compatible with the tray and VSP process.

The 243 × 163 mm footprint provides a relatively long rectangular presentation area, while the 25 mm tray depth creates a shallow rigid base for vacuum skin packaging. Final package performance should be evaluated with the actual tray specification, vacuum skin film, product dimensions and VSP equipment.

Product Specifications

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

PP High Barrier Tray Structure

PP Structural Base

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

Optional Functional Barrier Layers

The current product description states that PP can be laminated with materials such as EVOH and PE. Functional barrier and sealing layers can therefore be selected according to the requirements of the packaging project.

Because the exact multilayer construction is not specified for this individual SKU, the supplied material structure should be confirmed before commercial production.

Key Features

243 × 163 mm Rectangular Footprint

The 243 × 163 mm footprint provides a relatively long rectangular base for food portions requiring more horizontal presentation space. Buyers should compare both external dimensions and usable sealing area with the packed product and VSP tooling.

25 mm Low-Profile Tray

The 25 mm depth provides a shallow rigid base for vacuum skin packaging while allowing suitable products to extend above the tray cavity when supported by the forming capability of the selected skin film and packaging equipment.

Black Product Presentation

The black tray creates visual contrast beneath packed meat, poultry, fish and seafood when combined with a transparent vacuum skin film.

1-Compartment Format

The single-compartment configuration 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 applications. In a VSP process, a suitable skin film is formed closely around the product and sealed to the compatible tray surface.

Project-Specific Options

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

Vacuum Skin Packaging Applications

The current product description identifies fresh meat, fish and poultry as primary applications for this type of high barrier VSP tray. Final suitability should be confirmed according to the actual packed food, product dimensions, selected film and VSP process.

• Fresh beef and pork portions

• Poultry portions

• Fish packaging

• Seafood packaging

• Other food products suitable for a validated VSP process

Why Choose a 25 mm Low-Profile VSP Tray?

Vacuum skin packaging can use a relatively shallow rigid tray because the packed food does not always need to remain completely below the tray rim. A formable skin film can follow the shape of the food above the tray base, subject to the film and equipment operating range.

This 25 mm tray therefore provides more cavity depth than very shallow 15 mm or 20 mm VSP bases while retaining a low package profile. Actual product height and protrusion should be checked before tray approval.

How Vacuum Skin Packaging Works

In a vacuum skin packaging process, the product is positioned on or within the rigid tray. A dedicated skin film is heated until it becomes sufficiently formable and the packaging equipment removes air surrounding the product.

The film then forms closely around the product contours and seals to the compatible tray surface. Package performance therefore depends on the interaction between the tray, skin film, product geometry and VSP machine.

Product Height and Protrusion

The height of the packed product relative to the 25 mm tray cavity is an important selection factor. Products may extend above the tray sealing plane during vacuum skin packaging.

The acceptable product protrusion depends on food geometry, the forming capability of the selected skin film and the operating range of the VSP equipment. Product length, width and height should therefore be provided when evaluating the tray.

Vacuum Skin Film Compatibility

Vacuum skin packaging requires a film with suitable forming and sealing characteristics. A conventional flat lidding film should not automatically be treated as a VSP skin film.

The selected film should be evaluated with the supplied tray sealing surface, product geometry, forming depth and VSP equipment. Commercial packaging trials should confirm 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 specification, selected skin film, packaging equipment and intended distribution conditions before commercial production.

Selecting the Right VSP Tray

VSP tray selection should consider more than external tray dimensions. Buyers should also evaluate usable sealing area, product length and width, product height, expected protrusion, required barrier performance, skin-film properties and machine tooling.

When replacing an existing tray, compare the 243 × 163 × 25 mm dimensions and flange configuration with the existing package and verify compatibility through packaging trials before approving a commercial order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the dimensions of this black VSP tray?

The HSVSP tray measures 243 × 163 × 25 mm, approximately 9.6 × 6.4 × 1 inch.

What color is this tray?

The current HSVSP product shown on this page is black.

How many compartments does this tray have?

The current product specification lists 1 compartment.

Is this 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.

Does this exact tray have a confirmed EVOH or PE 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 publish one fixed multilayer structure for this exact HSVSP model. The supplied structure should therefore be confirmed for the order.

Why use a 25 mm low-profile tray?

The 25 mm cavity provides a shallow rigid base while offering more tray depth than very shallow VSP formats. Product height and film-forming capability should be evaluated together when selecting the tray.

Can a standard lidding film be used for VSP?

Not automatically. Vacuum skin packaging requires a film with suitable forming and sealing characteristics. The selected skin film should be validated with the tray specification and VSP equipment.

What is product protrusion?

Product protrusion refers to the height that the packed food extends above the tray sealing plane. Acceptable protrusion depends on product geometry, skin-film forming capability and packaging-machine settings.

Does this tray guarantee a specific shelf life?

No fixed shelf life should be determined from the tray alone. Final results depend on the packed food, tray and film barrier properties, vacuum process, seal integrity and storage conditions.

What is the published PP temperature range?

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