Plastic Meat Trays with Leakproof Design | Fresh Food Packaging

Plastic meat trays are specialized packaging solutions designed for storing, displaying, and transporting meat products, offering a combination of functionality, hygiene, and visibility. These trays are typically made from durable plastics like PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or PP (polypropylene), chosen for their rigidity, moisture resistance, and ability to withstand the weight of meat without bending or warping. The trays feature raised edges to contain meat juices and prevent leakage, which is essential for maintaining cleanliness in retail settings and preventing cross-contamination. One of the key advantages of plastic meat trays is their transparency, which allows consumers to clearly view the meat’s color, marbling, and texture—important indicators of quality—enhancing product appeal. They come in various sizes to accommodate different cuts of meat, from small trays for individual steaks or chops to large trays for family-sized roasts or ground meat. Plastic meat trays are compatible with a range of sealing methods, including plastic wrap, heat sealing, and vacuum packaging, which help to lock in freshness and extend shelf life. For further preservation, they are often used in conjunction with Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), where a controlled mixture of gases (typically carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and oxygen) slows down spoilage. Manufactured from food-grade plastics, these trays are free from BPA and harmful chemicals, ensuring safety for direct contact with meat. They are also designed to be stackable, optimizing storage space in refrigerators and display cases. Plastic meat trays are widely used in supermarkets, butchers, and meat processing facilities, providing a reliable and practical solution for meat packaging.
