High-Barrier PET/EVOH/PE Food Trays, Vacuum Skin Packaging Trays

High-Barrier PET/EVOH/PE Food Trays Description

High barrier PET/EVOH/PE food trays are crafted from a multi-layer plastic structure. The PET layer provides a durable and transparent base, offering excellent structural strength and product visibility. The EVOH layer acts as a powerful barrier, significantly reducing the transmission of gases and moisture to maintain freshness and extend shelf life. Finally, the PE layer ensures strong and reliable heat sealing, enhancing packaging efficiency and product safety. These trays are ideally suited for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) and skin vacuum packaging, making them an excellent choice for fresh, ready-to-eat, or perishable food products.

High-Barrier PET/EVOH/PE Food Trays Features

High Barrier Properties:

PET/EVOH/PE trays have good barrier properties and can effectively block the penetration of oxygen, water vapour and gas, thereby extending the shelf life of the products.

Excellent Transparency:

PET/EVOH/PE trays are crystal clear, allowing consumers to see the product clearly and making them more attractive.

Heat Sealable:

The PE layer makes the tray suitable for heat sealing with a variety of films, creating an airtight and tamper-evident closure.

Wide Temperature Range:

PET/EVOH/PE trays can withstand temperatures ranging from –40°C to +60°C (–40°F to +140°F), making them suitable for fresh and frozen products.

Food Safe:

They are approved for direct contact with food, making them ideal for fresh, chilled, or frozen products.

Recyclable and Sustainable:

PET is recyclable, and certain trays are designed  to be more easily recycled. we can use recycled materials to manufacture our plastic packaging, thereby preventing additional plastic waste.

• Premium meats and seafood

• Cheese and dairy

• Ready meals

• Skin-pack presentation trays and MAP trays

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is PET/EVOH/PE material? 

PET/EVOH/PE is a multi-layer plastic material. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) offers strength, rigidity, and clarity. EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol) acts as a high-performance barrier layer against oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases. PE (polyethylene) enhances sealing and flexibility.

This structure makes PET/EVOH/PE an ideal choice for food packaging trays, which need to extend shelf life and protect the product.

2. Is a PET/EVOH/PE plastic tray better than a PET plastic tray? 

Yes, in many cases.

PET trays are strong and transparent, but only offer moderate gas barrier properties. This makes them best suited to products with a shorter shelf life.

PET/EVOH/PE trays, on the other hand, offer excellent oxygen and gas barrier properties, helping to preserve freshness and extend shelf life, which is especially important for meat, fish, dairy products, and ready meals.

Therefore, PET/EVOH/PE trays are considered better than PET trays for products that require long-term freshness or modified atmosphere packaging (MAP).

3. What are the advantages of PET/EVOH/PE trays? 

• Excellent gas barrier properties

• Strong sealing performance
