CPET Plastic Tray: High-Temp Food Packaging Solution

CPET plastic trays are specialized trays crafted from crystallized PET (CPET), a modified form of polyethylene terephthalate that undergoes a crystallization process to enhance its heat resistance and structural integrity. Unlike standard PET, CPET can withstand temperatures up to 400°F (204°C), making these trays suitable for oven use, microwave heating, and freezing—qualities that make them indispensable in foodservice, catering, and retail settings. These trays are rigid and durable, designed to hold a variety of foods, including baked goods, roasted meats, casseroles, vegetables, and prepared meals, without bending or warping, even when exposed to high heat. They feature raised edges to contain sauces and prevent spills, ensuring safe transport and handling. CPET plastic trays come in a range of sizes and configurations, from small individual-serving trays to large family-sized trays, with options for compartmentalized designs to separate different food components. This adaptability allows them to cater to diverse menu items and portion requirements. The material is also freezer-safe, enabling long-term storage of pre-prepared meals without compromising the tray’s structure or the food’s quality. CPET is a food-grade, BPA-free material that meets strict regulatory standards for direct food contact, ensuring no harmful substances leach into food during heating or storage. Additionally, these trays are often compatible with sealing films or lids to maintain freshness, extend shelf life, and protect against contamination. Their versatility—supporting cooking, heating, storing, and serving—makes CPET plastic trays a cost-effective and efficient choice for commercial kitchens, restaurants, and food manufacturers seeking reliable, multi-functional packaging solutions.
