PET/PE Food Packaging Trays
HSQY PET/PE food packaging trays combine a rigid PET-based structural layer with a PE sealing layer. The PET layer supports tray shape and clear product presentation, while the PE layer provides a heat-sealable surface for compatible lidding films.
The range is intended for commercial chilled-food packaging applications such as fresh meat, poultry, seafood, produce, deli products and prepared foods. Current standard sizes include 220 × 170 × 32 mm and 220 × 170 × 38 mm, with additional tray configurations available according to project requirements.

How PET/PE Food Trays Work
PET Structural Layer
The PET-based layer provides the primary tray structure, helping maintain tray shape while supporting clear product presentation for retail food packaging.
PE Heat-Sealing Layer
The PE layer provides a heat-sealable surface around the tray flange. When paired with a compatible PE-sealant lidding film, the tray can be closed using controlled temperature, pressure and dwell time on suitable tray-sealing equipment.
PET/PE Is Different from PET/EVOH/PE
PET/PE and PET/EVOH/PE should not be treated as the same material structure. PET/PE combines PET with a PE sealing layer, while PET/EVOH/PE includes an additional EVOH barrier layer for applications requiring enhanced oxygen-barrier performance.
Key Features of PET/PE Food Packaging Trays
Clear Product Presentation
Clear PET/PE tray options allow the packed product to remain visible, supporting presentation and inspection in supermarket, food-processing and distribution applications.
Heat-Sealable Tray Flange
The PE-based sealing surface is designed to work with compatible lidding films. Final seal performance depends on the film structure, tray surface and sealing-machine parameters.
Rigid Tray Structure
The PET-based structural layer gives the tray the rigidity needed for handling, filling, retail presentation and distribution.
Multiple Tray Sizes
Current HSQY PET/PE tray options include 220 × 170 × 32 mm and 220 × 170 × 38 mm formats, together with additional products in the PET/PE tray range for different food portions and packaging configurations.

If a packaging project has a specific oxygen-transmission, gas-retention or shelf-life requirement, provide those targets before selecting between PET/PE and PET/EVOH/PE.
Lidding Film Compatibility
PET/PE trays normally require a lidding film with a sealant layer compatible with the PE surface on the tray flange. The correct film cannot be selected solely from the term “PET tray” because different PET trays may use different sealing surfaces.
Before production, buyers should confirm tray structure, film structure, sealing temperature, pressure, dwell time, opening requirement and finished seal integrity on the intended tray-sealing equipment.
HSQY also supplies sealing film for PET/PE trays for projects requiring compatible tray-and-film selection.
Selecting the Right PET/PE Tray
Tray selection should consider more than outside dimensions. Food processors should also evaluate product size, fill weight, tray depth, flange dimensions, lidding-film structure, packaging equipment, storage conditions and outer-case configuration.
For projects replacing an existing tray, providing a current tray sample or dimensional drawing can help confirm size and sealing-surface requirements before bulk purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PET/PE food tray?
A PET/PE food tray combines a PET-based structural layer with a PE-based sealing layer. PET provides the main tray body, while PE provides a surface that can be heat sealed to a compatible lidding film.
What sizes are available?
The current product information lists 220 × 170 × 32 mm and 220 × 170 × 38 mm formats. HSQY also supplies additional PET/PE tray sizes for different packaging projects.
Can PET/PE trays be heat sealed?
Yes. The PE-based sealing layer is intended for heat sealing with a compatible lidding film. Actual seal quality must be confirmed using the intended tray, film and packaging equipment.
Which lidding film should be used with PET/PE trays?
A film with a sealant layer compatible with the PE surface should be selected. Film structure, sealing window and peel or lock-seal requirements should be confirmed through packaging trials.
Is PET/PE a high oxygen-barrier tray?
Standard PET/PE should not automatically be treated as a high oxygen-barrier structure. Projects requiring enhanced oxygen barrier should specify the required performance and evaluate a suitable barrier structure such as PET/EVOH/PE where appropriate.
Can PET/PE trays be used for MAP?
MAP suitability depends on the required gas retention, tray structure, top-film barrier, seal integrity, food product and storage conditions. For projects requiring stronger oxygen-barrier performance, the complete packaging specification should be reviewed before selecting PET/PE.
Are PET/PE trays suitable for microwave or oven heating?
PET/PE trays should not be assumed to be suitable for microwave or conventional oven heating. Heated-food applications require a tray material specifically validated for the intended temperature and process.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The current product record lists a minimum order quantity of 30,000 pieces.
What information should I provide when requesting a quotation?
Please provide the required tray size, quantity, packed food, fill weight, sealing-film requirements, packaging equipment, storage conditions, destination market and required seal type.
