CPET Catering Tray: High-Temperature Resistant Food Packaging Solution

CPET catering trays are specialized trays made from crystallized PET (CPET), a heat-resistant plastic, designed for use in catering, foodservice, and large-scale meal preparation. CPET material can withstand high temperatures—typically up to 400°F (204°C)—making these trays suitable for oven use, microwave heating, and freezing, which is ideal for catering operations where food may need to be prepared in advance, stored frozen, and then heated before serving. These trays are rigid and durable, able to hold large portions of food such as casseroles, roasted meats, vegetables, pasta dishes, and baked goods without bending or warping, even when hot. They feature raised edges to contain sauces and prevent spills during transport, and many are designed to be stackable for efficient storage in freezers, refrigerators, and ovens. CPET catering trays come in various sizes and shapes, including rectangular, square, and round options, to accommodate different menu items and portion sizes—from individual servings to large platters for events. They are often compatible with lids that create a secure seal, locking in freshness during storage and transportation, and some are designed for easy stacking in chafing dishes or warming units. The material is microwave-safe and does not absorb food odors or flavors, ensuring the taste and quality of the food remain intact. Manufactured from food-grade, BPA-free CPET, these trays comply with strict food safety standards. They are also recyclable in many regions, aligning with sustainability efforts in the foodservice industry. Whether used for corporate events, weddings, buffets, or institutional meals, CPET catering trays offer convenience, versatility, and reliability for high-volume food preparation and service.
