Model 012 27 oz 3 Compartment Black CPET Tray
HSQY Model 012 is a 27 oz rectangular black CPET tray with three compartments for ready meal, frozen meal, catering and foodservice packaging programs. The three-section layout helps organize an entrée and side portions in one package without requiring separate trays.
Model 012 measures 8.50 x 6.46 x 1.85 inches, approximately 216 x 164 x 47mm. The current case pack is 600 trays and the MOQ is 50,000 pieces.
CPET is commonly selected for meal-packaging systems that may include filling, sealing, chilled or frozen storage and reheating. Final freezer, microwave and conventional-oven conditions should be validated for the exact tray, food load, lidding system, heating cycle and customer instructions.

Why Choose a 3 Compartment CPET Tray?
Model 012 uses three separate cavities so a ready-meal producer can package a main dish together with side portions in one tray. The compartment layout helps reduce direct mixing between meal components and supports consistent portion presentation.
For school meals, institutional catering, airline catering and portion-controlled ready meals, the actual cavity volumes should be checked against the target entrée and side portions before mass production.
Dual-Ovenable CPET Packaging
![CPET tray oven application]()
CPET, or crystallized polyethylene terephthalate, is widely used for ready-meal packaging where a validated package may need to move through chilled or frozen storage and later be reheated.
CPET tray systems are commonly designed for microwave and conventional-oven reheating. The allowable temperature and heating time should nevertheless be confirmed for Model 012 together with the food load, lidding film, tray support and heating instructions.
For freezer-to-oven programs, qualification should cover the complete process rather than relying only on a generic CPET temperature range.
Lidding Film and Seal Compatibility
CPET ready-meal trays are commonly used with heat-seal lidding films. A compatible tray-and-film combination can support filling, sealing, chilled or frozen distribution and consumer reheating in one packaging system.
Seal performance is not determined by the tray alone. The lidding-film structure, sealant layer, sealing temperature, dwell time, pressure, flange cleanliness and food contamination at the seal area all affect the final package.
If leak resistance, peel behavior, anti-fog performance or shelf-life targets are required, the exact tray, film and sealing process should be tested together.
Model 012 for Ready Meal Packaging

The 27 oz three-compartment format is intended for prepared meals where portion separation and a single retail package are required.
Model 012 can be evaluated for ready meals, airline meals, school meals, institutional catering, meal-delivery programs and other foodservice applications where the tray dimensions and cavity layout match the target portion.
Buyers should validate the complete package under their actual filling, sealing, cooling, freezing, transportation and reheating conditions before commercial launch.
