A PP/EVOH/PE tray is a multi-layer food packaging tray composed of PP (Polypropylene), EVOH (Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol), and PE (Polyethylene) materials. By combining these polymers, the tray achieves excellent barrier performance, strength, and food safety properties, making it ideal for fresh food packaging.
The PP layer provides strength and rigidity, the EVOH layer offers superior oxygen barrier protection, and the PE layer ensures moisture resistance and sealing performance.
This multi-layer structure makes PP/EVOH/PE trays widely used for meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables, and processed food packaging.
PP/EVOH/PE trays deliver several advantages compared to traditional single-layer trays:
Outstanding Barrier Properties – Superior resistance against oxygen and gases
Extended Shelf Life – Helps keep fresh foods fresher for longer
Excellent Strength & Rigidity – Good stacking and transportation stability
Moisture & Seal Performance – Strong heat sealing with films
Lightweight & Cost-Effective – Reduces shipping costs and material usage
Customizable Design – Compatible with branding, printing, and shapes
These performance benefits make PP/EVOH/PE trays ideal for modern food packaging needs.
PP/EVOH/PE trays are used extensively in the food and retail industries, including:
Fresh Meat & Poultry Packaging
Seafood & Fish Packaging
Vegetable & Fruit Packaging
Cheese & Deli Products
Ready-to-eat & Cook-in-Tray Foods
Supermarket & Retail Displays
The enhanced barrier and sealing properties help protect foods from oxidation, moisture loss, and contamination.
Yes, PP/EVOH/PE trays are designed for direct food contact when produced with approved food-grade resins and under proper quality control.
They meet international safety standards for food packaging and are suitable for:
Fresh and raw food packaging
Refrigerated and chilled food applications
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) when used with suitable films
Food safety is a critical requirement for these trays, and certifications can be provided upon request.
