Specifications of 5.5, 6.3 and 7.1 Inch Square XPS Foam Trays

HSQY offers three square XPS foam tray sizes for different fresh food packaging requirements. The following table summarizes the product specifications and available purchasing options.

Note: The metric sizes are approximate conversions of the listed inch sizes. Final dimensions, tray depth, thickness and tolerances should be confirmed for each selected model before ordering.

Key Features of White XPS Foam Food Trays

Lightweight and Cost-Effective Packaging

XPS foam trays feature a lightweight cellular structure that reduces packaging weight while providing useful rigidity. Their low weight makes them convenient for supermarkets, butcher shops, food processors and wholesale distributors handling large volumes of fresh food packaging.

Lightweight trays can also help optimize packaging handling, storage and transportation costs. Buyers can compare tray weight, carton quantity and shipping volume when evaluating the total packaging cost.

Cushioning and Food Protection

The cellular foam structure absorbs some impact during normal handling and transportation. This cushioning helps support fresh food products and reduces direct contact with harder packaging surfaces.

This feature is particularly useful for packaging fresh meat, poultry, seafood, fruits and vegetables that require support during storage, distribution and supermarket display.

Thermal Insulation for Fresh Food Packaging

XPS foam has a cellular structure that helps reduce heat transfer. Its insulating properties make it suitable for selected chilled and fresh food packaging applications where temperature management is important.

For refrigerated products, the tray should be used as part of an appropriate cold-chain packaging system. Actual storage temperature and product shelf life depend on the food, wrapping method, refrigeration conditions and distribution process.

Moisture Resistance

XPS foam provides resistance to moisture under suitable food packaging conditions. This makes it useful as a supporting tray for fresh food products that require a stable base during retail display and transportation.

For meat, poultry and seafood products that release liquid, a separate absorbent pad can be placed inside the tray to manage product purge. The pad and wrapping film should be selected according to the food type and required absorption capacity.

Compatible with Stretch-Film Overwrap

XPS foam trays are commonly used with stretch-film overwrap systems in supermarkets and fresh food processing facilities. The tray provides a base for the food product, while compatible film helps enclose the package for handling and retail display.

For automated packaging operations, buyers should confirm tray dimensions, flange design, denesting performance and film compatibility with the specific wrapping equipment before placing a bulk order.

Square Sizes and Customization Options

HSQY supplies square XPS foam trays in 5.5-inch, 6.3-inch and 7.1-inch sizes. Different dimensions can accommodate different food portions and retail packaging requirements.

Customized tray sizes, thicknesses, colors and designs can be discussed for high-volume packaging projects, subject to production feasibility and order requirements.

Applications of Square XPS Foam Food Trays

White square XPS foam trays are widely used in fresh food packaging, supermarket retail and food processing operations. Their lightweight structure, cushioning properties and convenient square format make them suitable for different fresh food products.

Fresh Meat Packaging

XPS foam trays provide a stable base for packaging beef, pork, lamb and other fresh meat products. Their cushioning structure supports food handling and supermarket display.

For fresh meat packaging, a suitable absorbent pad can be placed underneath the product to collect released liquid. Compatible stretch film can then be used to wrap the tray for retail presentation.

Poultry Packaging

White XPS trays can be evaluated for chicken portions, poultry cuts and other fresh poultry products. The selected tray size should provide sufficient support for the food weight and allow an appropriate overwrap packaging configuration.

Fish and Seafood Packaging

XPS foam trays can be used as supporting packaging for fish fillets, seafood portions and other refrigerated seafood products. For products that release liquid, absorbent pads and compatible overwrap film can be selected according to the packaging requirements.

Fruit and Vegetable Packaging

The square tray format can be evaluated for selected fresh fruits, vegetables and prepared produce portions. The white surface provides a clean background for product presentation in supermarkets, grocery stores and fresh food retail outlets.

Supermarket and Retail Food Display

Supermarkets, butcher shops and food retailers can use XPS foam trays as part of their fresh food packaging systems. Different square sizes allow packaging operators to select an appropriate tray according to product dimensions, food weight and retail display requirements.

5.5 Inch vs 6.3 Inch vs 7.1 Inch Square XPS Trays

HSQY offers three square XPS tray sizes to accommodate different food portions and packaging requirements. The appropriate size depends on the food dimensions, product weight, required display area and overwrap packaging method.

The 5.5-inch tray is suitable for evaluating smaller food portions and compact retail packs. The 6.3-inch option provides a medium square format, while the 7.1-inch model offers a larger base area for bigger food portions.

These descriptions are general size-selection guidance. Actual tray depth, internal dimensions, food capacity and weight limits should be confirmed for each model before purchasing.

XPS Foam Tray Packaging with Stretch Film and Absorbent Pads

XPS foam trays are commonly used as part of a fresh-food packaging system. For supermarket meat, poultry and seafood packaging, the tray is often combined with an absorbent pad and compatible stretch-film overwrap.

Absorbent Pad Selection

For meat, poultry and seafood products that release liquid during storage, an absorbent pad can be placed inside the tray. Pad size and absorption capacity should be selected according to food weight, liquid release and expected storage conditions.

Stretch-Film Overwrap

Compatible stretch film can be applied around the tray and food product to create a retail-ready package. Film selection should consider the tray flange, food dimensions, wrapping tension and packaging machine configuration.

Packaging Line Compatibility

For automatic or semi-automatic packaging operations, buyers should evaluate tray dimensions, flange design, stacking, denesting and film compatibility with the existing equipment. Sample testing is recommended before adopting a new tray specification for large-scale production.

Wholesale XPS Foam Food Trays and Custom Supply

HSQY supplies white XPS foam food trays to supermarkets, butcher shops, meat processors, seafood packaging companies, food distributors, packaging wholesalers and importers. The listed minimum order quantity for this product series is 30,000 pieces.

For regular purchasing programs, buyers can discuss different tray sizes, customized dimensions, color requirements and bulk packaging arrangements with HSQY.

Customized Tray Dimensions and Colors

Customization inquiries are accepted according to production feasibility. Buyers can provide existing tray samples, drawings or required dimensions to discuss suitable XPS foam tray specifications.

Bulk Packaging and Shipping Requirements

XPS foam trays are lightweight but relatively bulky. For international bulk orders, carton quantity, carton dimensions, gross weight, pallet configuration and container loading quantity are important purchasing considerations.

Buyers should compare the total number of trays per shipment and transportation volume when evaluating the delivered packaging cost, rather than comparing only the individual tray price.

Food Contact and Temperature Requirements for XPS Trays

XPS foam trays intended for direct food contact should meet the applicable regulatory requirements of the destination market. Food-contact suitability depends on the material formulation, additives, manufacturing process and intended conditions of use.

Standard XPS foam food trays are intended primarily for fresh and refrigerated food packaging. They are not suitable for microwave heating or conventional oven use. Buyers should confirm the permitted temperature range and relevant technical documentation for the selected tray before commercial use.

For meat, poultry and seafood packaging projects, buyers should also consider food-contact documentation, absorbent pad compatibility, wrapping film performance and the required cold-chain storage conditions.
