Clear lidding film sealed over a filled black meal tray — Film-sealed ready meal tray

Match the tray, film and sealing tool

Evaluate the package as a system. The seal depends on the flange, film sealant, recipe and sealer settings.

Peel and presentation: Confirm the opening force, film clarity and anti-fog needs for the intended storage conditions.
Sealing and storage: Check tool fit, seal settings and package integrity after chilling, freezing and transport.
Reheat instructions: Qualify the exact tray, film and fill with the intended cycle. Specify film removal or venting where required.

Request Tray & Film Samples Explore CPET lidding film

Validate the filled pack on your line

Use the intended recipe, equipment and distribution conditions for the sample trial.

Fill and denest
Run the selected tray at line speed. Check de-nesting, portion weight, headspace and flange cleanliness.
Seal and inspect
Set a usable time, temperature and pressure window. Inspect the perimeter and any divider seals.
Chill or freeze
Trial your cold chain and loaded case. Check cold impact, compression and seal condition.
Reheat and open
Run the approved cycle with the actual meal. Check heating, pack shape, venting and opening.

Prepare the production specification

Start with a listed model or send a drawing for a custom footprint, cavity layout, color or packing configuration.

Tray and recipe: Send your portions, target headspace, outside dimensions and sealer model.
Storage and reheating: Share the cold-chain conditions, closure and intended heat cycle. Request food-contact documentation for the exact pack and destination market.

CPET Ready Meal Tray FAQ

Answers on model selection, lidding, heating and bulk supply.

What is a CPET ready meal tray?

A CPET ready meal tray is a food container made from crystallized polyethylene terephthalate. Qualified designs support chilled or frozen distribution and reheating in the tray using an approved conventional oven or microwave cycle.

How do I choose between one, two and three compartments?

Choose one compartment for a combined entrée, two to separate the main dish from one side, or three for separate meal components. Verify the usable volume and heating behavior of each cavity with your actual recipe.

What capacities does HSQY list for meal packing?

The 24 listed models span nominal capacities of 14 to 41 oz. Confirm usable volume, headspace and external dimensions on a sample. Ask HSQY to confirm capacity for Model 008 because its published title and specification block differ.

Can CPET meal trays go from freezer to oven?

Use a direct freezer-to-oven cycle once the tray, food, fill weight and closure have been qualified for the intended starting temperature, equipment and heating profile. Check tray shape and seal integrity during the trial.

What temperatures can HSQY CPET meal trays withstand?

The category lists approximately −40°C to +220°C for selected grades. Confirm the model’s approved temperature, dwell time and heating method with the filled pack. Keep the tray clear of exposed heating elements, broilers and open flame.

Can I keep the film on during microwave or oven reheating?

Keep the film attached only when the exact film and tray combination is qualified for that cycle. Follow the approved instructions for removing, venting or retaining the closure.

What should I check on my filling and sealing line?

Check denesting, fill accuracy and flange cleanliness at line speed. Trial the film on the chosen flange and tooling, then verify seal integrity and peel behavior after storage and handling.

Can a CPET tray be used for modified atmosphere packaging?

Evaluate the tray and film barrier, seal integrity, gas mix and food-specific shelf life as a complete system. Share the recipe and storage requirements before specifying a MAP pack.

Can HSQY customize the tray or packing?

HSQY can evaluate a different footprint, depth, compartment layout, color or carton pack for a bulk program. Share a drawing, portion target, line requirements and expected annual demand for review.

What information is needed to request samples or a quote?

Send the model or drawing, portion weight and volume, tray sealer and film, storage and heating conditions, quantity and delivery destination. Confirm MOQ, lead time and the food-contact documents for the selected configuration.

Have a menu or a tray drawing?

Send your portion, line and pack requirements for samples and bulk pricing.
