What Is a CPET Food Tray?
CPET stands for crystalline polyethylene terephthalate. Compared with conventional amorphous PET packaging, the crystallized structure allows CPET trays to be used in higher-temperature food applications.
CPET trays are commonly selected for prepared meals that may move through several stages including filling, chilled or frozen storage, transportation, retail or catering distribution and final reheating.
For Model 032, the compact 8oz / 240ml format makes the tray particularly suitable for airline catering portions, side dishes, desserts, smaller ready meals and institutional foodservice.
Key Features of Model 032 CPET Trays
Dual-Ovenable Application: The current product specification positions Model 032 for both conventional oven and microwave reheating.
Frozen-to-Reheat Use: A listed operating range of -40°C to +220°C supports applications involving frozen storage followed by heating, subject to the actual food and heating cycle.
Compact 240ml Portion: The 8oz-class capacity is suitable for smaller meal portions, side dishes, desserts and airline catering components.
Single-Compartment Design: The open single cavity provides flexible filling space for one food component without internal dividers.
Rigid Tray Structure: CPET provides the stiffness required for handling filled meals through packing, storage, distribution and reheating operations.
Resistance to Oil and Moisture: The plastic tray body is suitable for a wide range of cooked, oily and moist foods within the intended application conditions.
Heat-Sealable Format: Model 032 can be evaluated with compatible lidding systems for ready-meal and catering applications.
Stackable Format: Nested empty trays can help improve storage and transportation efficiency before filling.
Color Options: Black is the primary Model 032 product, while alternative colors can be discussed according to production requirements.
Why Model 032 Works for Airline Catering
Airline meal packaging must balance portion size, storage efficiency, reheating performance and presentation. Model 032 provides a compact rectangular format for smaller meal components and inflight catering portions.
Compact Footprint: The 123 × 100mm top dimensions help conserve space in catering storage and meal-service configurations.
8oz Portion Size: Useful for side dishes, breakfast components, desserts and other controlled airline catering portions.
Oven Reheating: CPET supports meal workflows where prepared food is chilled or frozen before reheating.
Black Presentation: Black CPET provides visual contrast with many prepared foods and is commonly selected for ready-meal presentation.
Sealing Capability: Compatible lidding can help protect the meal during catering preparation, transport and storage when the sealing system is correctly validated.
Applications of Model 032 CPET Food Trays
Airline Meals: Compact heated meal portions, side dishes, desserts and other inflight catering components.
Frozen Ready Meals: Food products stored frozen and reheated before serving within the validated tray temperature range.
School Meals: Portion-controlled food packaging for institutional catering programs.
Meals on Wheels: Smaller food portions requiring transportation and subsequent reheating.
Bakery Products: Suitable bakery and dessert products can be packed or heated according to the required process.
Foodservice: Catering companies and commercial kitchens can use compact CPET trays for portioned hot-food and reheating applications.

CPET Tray Sealing and Lidding
A heat-sealed CPET package combines the tray with a compatible lidding material. The lidding system affects seal strength, peel performance, leakage resistance, reheating performance and the final appearance of the packaged meal.
The word “leakproof” should therefore refer to a validated sealed tray system, not to an empty tray by itself. The correct result depends on the tray flange, lidding material, food contamination at the seal area, sealing machine and process settings.
Lidding Material: Select a film or foil system designed to seal to the specific CPET tray surface.
Easy Peel or Lock Seal: Define the required opening behavior before choosing the final lidding structure.
Seal Temperature: Establish the correct sealing window using the actual tray, lidding material and machine.
Seal Integrity: Test filled trays for leakage and package integrity under actual storage, transport and reheating conditions.
Reheating: Confirm whether the lidding material should be removed, vented or remain in place during the selected heating process.
Freezer-to-Oven Packaging Considerations
A published tray temperature range does not mean every food can automatically be processed at the maximum temperature. Actual performance depends on the complete food-packaging-heating system.
Food Composition: Oil, water, sugar and food density can influence heating behavior.
Fill Weight: Meal weight and fill depth influence heating time and tray loading.
Heating Temperature: Validate the actual oven or microwave temperature used by the customer.
Heating Duration: Prolonged exposure can affect tray performance differently from short reheating cycles.
Lidding: The tray and lid or film must both be compatible with the required heating process.
Application Testing: Validate the complete filled package before commercial launch.
How to Choose a CPET Ready Meal Tray
Capacity: Confirm whether the 8oz / 240ml Model 032 volume is appropriate for the actual meal portion.
Tray Dimensions: Check 123 × 100 × 35mm against filling, sealing, storage and reheating equipment.
Food Type: Provide the main food, sauce level, oil content and fill weight.
Storage: Identify whether the packaged meal will be ambient, chilled or frozen.
Reheating: Specify conventional oven, microwave or both, including actual temperature and time.
Sealing System: Provide the lidding film or foil specification and tray-sealing machine details.
Color: Model 032 is primarily positioned as a black CPET tray; confirm other color requirements before ordering.
Quantity: The current product-level MOQ is 50,000 pieces.
Custom CPET Tray Options
Model 032 should be treated as a defined 8oz single-compartment tray. If a buyer requires substantially different dimensions, capacity or compartment layout, HSQY can discuss other existing CPET tray models or a customized packaging project.
Color: Black, white, natural or other requirements can be discussed according to manufacturing feasibility.
Alternative Capacities: HSQY offers other CPET tray models for larger or smaller ready-meal portions.
Compartments: Other HSQY models are available in single-, two- and three-compartment formats.
Lidding: Printed or unprinted sealing-film requirements can be discussed as part of the complete packaging project.

Food Contact and Quality Documentation
The current HSQY page references SGS and ISO 9001:2008. These references should not automatically be interpreted as proof that every Model 032 tray meets every food-contact regulation in every destination market.
ISO 9001 relates to quality-management systems rather than being a food-contact approval for a specific tray. Buyers should request the current material declaration, migration testing or other food-contact documents required for the destination country and the exact CPET grade being purchased.
If the tray will be used for airline catering, frozen ready meals or high-temperature reheating, provide the applicable customer specification so HSQY can confirm the relevant documentation before production.
CPET Tray Recycling Considerations
CPET is a PET-based material and can be recyclable where suitable collection and recycling systems accept CPET trays. Actual recycling availability differs between countries, municipalities and waste processors.
For this reason, the product should not be promoted using an unconditional claim that every used CPET tray will be recycled. Buyers should verify local recycling guidance in the market where the finished meal package is sold.
