200x130x25mm Clear PET Food Tray

200x130x25mm Clear PET Food Tray

HSQY 200x130x25mm clear PET food tray is a rectangular disposable packaging tray designed for fresh produce, bakery products, deli foods, chilled snacks and retail food presentation. The transparent PET structure provides high product visibility while maintaining the rigidity required for handling, stacking and distribution.

The standard tray measures 200 × 130 × 25mm, approximately 7.87 × 5.12 × 0.98 inches. HSQY can also discuss alternative sizes, colors, compartment layouts and custom thermoformed food-tray designs for supermarkets, food processors, packaging distributors and private-label projects.

This product is primarily positioned as a clear PET display and food-packaging tray. If heat sealing, modified atmosphere packaging, high oxygen barrier or extended refrigerated shelf life is required, the tray structure and compatible lidding film should be selected and tested as a complete packaging system.

What Is a Clear PET Food Tray?

A clear PET food tray is a thermoformed rigid package made primarily from polyethylene terephthalate. PET is widely selected for refrigerated and display-oriented food packaging because it combines transparency, stiffness, dimensional stability and relatively low weight.

The transparent tray allows shoppers to inspect the appearance, color and condition of the packed food without opening the package. This makes clear PET particularly useful for fruits, vegetables, bakery products, deli foods, snacks and other retail items where product visibility influences purchasing decisions.

PET food trays can be supplied as open trays, inserts, compartment trays or components of a lidded package. The final closure method may use overwrap, a separate lid or compatible heat-seal film depending on the tray design.

Key Features of Clear PET Food Trays

High Product Visibility

Clear PET allows customers to see the food directly through the package, making it useful for retail products where appearance, freshness and presentation influence purchasing decisions.

Rigid Thermoformed Structure

The thermoformed tray provides support for food products during filling, stacking, transport and retail display. Final rigidity depends on material thickness, tray geometry, rim design and stacking load.

Stackable Design

Empty trays can be nested to reduce storage and shipping volume. Filled tray stacking should be tested according to product weight, tray depth, closure method and transportation conditions.

Cold-Chain Packaging

The current HSQY specification lists a reference range down to -40°C. For frozen applications, buyers should test impact resistance, cracking, stacking and seal integrity at the actual storage and distribution temperature.

Multiple Colors and Compartments

Clear is the main product presentation, while black, white and customized colors can be discussed. One-, two-, four- and custom-compartment designs can also be developed for different food layouts.

Applications of 200x130mm Clear PET Trays

Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

Clear PET trays can display berries, grapes, tomatoes, mushrooms, cut fruit, vegetables and other fresh produce. Respiring produce may require perforated film, breathable wrap or another ventilation strategy rather than a fully high-barrier closure.

Bakery and Desserts

Cakes, cookies, pastries, chocolates and desserts benefit from clear presentation while the rigid tray helps protect the product shape during handling.

Deli and Chilled Foods

Clear trays can be evaluated for cold cuts, cheeses, appetizers, salads and other refrigerated deli products using the closure method appropriate to the required storage conditions.

Meat, Poultry and Seafood

Plain PET trays can be considered for selected chilled protein applications using overwrap or a compatible closure. If high oxygen barrier, MAP or extended shelf life is required, use a specifically engineered PET/PE or PET/EVOH/PE packaging system instead of assuming the plain PET tray provides the required barrier.

Retail and Supermarket Display

High transparency and a simple rectangular format make this tray suitable for supermarket shelves, deli counters, convenience stores and prepared-food displays.

Can This Clear PET Tray Be Heat Sealed?

Heat sealing depends on the actual surface presented by the tray flange. A plain APET tray may require a direct-to-PET lidding film, PET-compatible coating or specially formulated universal sealant.

Do not assume that a standard PET/PE lidding film will automatically seal to an uncoated mono-PET tray. Before bulk production, test physical trays using the actual film, sealing machine, temperature, pressure and dwell time.

Buyers who need a guaranteed PE sealing surface should consider a PET/PE tray rather than relying on the material name PET alone.

Is Clear PET Suitable for Freezer Packaging?

The current HSQY product information lists a reference lower temperature of -40°C. For commercial frozen-food packaging, however, low-temperature performance should be validated using the actual tray thickness, food weight, freezing process, storage temperature and drop or impact conditions.

A tray that remains dimensionally stable while empty may behave differently when filled, stacked and handled at frozen temperatures. Samples should therefore be tested in the intended cold-chain process.

Custom PET Food Tray Options

• Custom tray length, width and depth.

• One-, two-, four- or custom-compartment layouts.

• Clear, black, white and custom colors.

• Custom material thickness according to tray rigidity requirements.

• Custom thermoformed tray geometry.

• Different flange widths and rim designs.

• Custom printing subject to process and food-contact requirements.

• Custom labels, cartons and private-label packaging.

• Alternative virgin PET or rPET structures for qualified projects.

For a new tray design, provide the food dimensions, target fill weight, closure method, stacking requirements, annual volume and a drawing or sample. New tooling requirements should be confirmed before commercial quotation.

PET Tray Recycling Considerations

PET is generally identified with resin code #1 and is widely used in recyclable rigid packaging. However, a resin identification code does not guarantee that every finished food tray will be collected or recycled in every market.

Actual recyclability depends on local collection systems, tray color, labels, adhesives, food contamination, lidding materials and sorting technology. If design-for-recycling is a priority, evaluate the complete tray, lid or film and label system for the destination market.

Food Contact Documentation

The existing product page references SGS, ISO and FDA-related documentation. Food-contact requirements vary by market, food type, temperature and contact time, so buyers should request the current documentation that applies to the exact PET resin, pigment, tray specification and intended use.

Quality-management certification and food-contact compliance are different issues. A general ISO certificate should not be treated as proof that every tray specification meets every country's food-contact requirements.

Packaging and Bulk Delivery

PET trays are nested for efficient storage and transportation. The existing product information lists the following packing and loading figures as reference values. Final quantities depend on tray geometry, material thickness, nesting pitch and carton design.

Certifications and Test Documents
