PET / PE Plastic Food Packaging Trays, PET / PE Skin Trays, Disposable Plastic PET Meat Trays

PET / PE Plastic Food Packaging Trays Description

PET/PE plastic food packaging trays are made from laminated plastic consisting of a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) base and a PE (polyethylene) layer. This manufacturing process enhances the heat sealing properties of PET. PET offers high transparency, strength, and recyclability. The PE layer provides an effective heat seal, ensuring an airtight closure that extends the shelf life of fresh and processed foods, such as meat, fish, salads, ready meals and pastries.

Specifications of PET / PE Plastic Food Packaging Trays

PET / PE Plastic Food Packaging Tray Features

Excellent Transparency:

PET/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/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.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is PET / PE material? 

PET/PE is a co-extruded multi-layer plastic material consisting of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) laminated with a thin layer of PE (polyethylene).

PET offers strength, rigidity, clarity, and good gas barrier properties.

PE improves heat sealing properties, flexibility and chemical resistance.

This plastic material is widely used in food packaging trays, especially when a sealed lidding film or modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is required.

2. What are the advantages of PET/PE trays?  

• Excellent heat sealing performance.

• Good strength and rigidity.

• Good clarity.

• Food safe.

3. Is a PET/PE plastic tray better than a PET plastic tray? 

The choice depends on the application:

PET trays are durable, rigid, and recyclable, but they are more difficult to seal and are not well-suited for vacuum or modified atmosphere packaging.

PET/PE trays have better sealing performance and higher flexibility, making them more suitable for fresh food packaging.

Therefore, when strong sealing, product freshness preservation, or extended shelf life are required, PET/PE pallets are usually the better choice.
