Airline CPET Tray FAQ

Common questions about tray selection, lidding, reheating and bulk supply.

What is an airline CPET tray?

An airline CPET tray is a portioned meal container made from crystallized polyethylene terephthalate. Qualified tray designs can support chilled or frozen meal distribution and reheating in a validated conventional oven or microwave cycle.

What sizes and colors are available in the HSQY airline range?

The listed single-compartment models have nominal capacities of 10, 12, 14 and 15 oz, with white, black, blue and dual-color options. Compare outside dimensions and case counts by model. Use a filled sample to confirm usable volume and headspace.

How do I choose a tray for an airline trolley or galley oven?

Start with the maximum outside length, width and height, including the flange and lid. Check loaded stack height and clearances in the actual trolley, rack and oven. Send a drawing or current tray sample for comparison.

Can CPET airline trays be reheated in an oven or microwave?

Selected HSQY models list an approximate tray temperature range of −40°C to +220°C. Confirm the qualified heating method, temperature and dwell time for the exact tray, filled meal and closure. Keep the pack clear of exposed heating elements and open flame.

Can an airline CPET tray go directly from freezer to oven?

Use a direct freezer-to-oven cycle only after the exact tray, fill, closure, starting temperature and oven profile have been validated together. Check tray shape, seal condition and meal heating after the trial.

Can the lidding film remain on during reheating?

Keep the film on only if the tray and film combination has been qualified for that heating cycle and the approved instructions specify it. Follow the specified removal or venting steps for the selected closure.

How do I select an easy-peel film for CPET trays?

Match the film sealant to the CPET flange, then trial temperature, pressure and dwell time on your sealing tool. Check peel force and package integrity after chilling or freezing, handling and the approved reheat cycle.

Can HSQY supply custom airline trays with compartments or colors?

HSQY can evaluate changes to footprint, depth, color, compartments, flange and packing for bulk projects. Share the menu layout, portion volumes, dimensions and annual demand so the proposed design and tooling can be assessed.

What food-contact documents should airline caterers request?

Ask for current documents covering the exact tray grade, color and lidding film for your destination market. Share the food type, contact duration, storage conditions and reheating profile so the documentation can be matched to the intended use.

What should I send for samples, MOQ and a bulk quote?

Send the model or drawing, fill volume and weight, sealer and film, cart or oven clearances, reheating cycle, order volume and delivery destination. Confirm sample availability, case pack, MOQ and lead time for the selected configuration.

Have a tray drawing or a target portion?

Send your requirements for a model recommendation, samples and bulk pricing.
