CPET Food Trays: High-Temp Resistant Packaging for Heated Foods

CPET food trays are specialized trays made from crystallized PET (CPET), a premium plastic known for its exceptional heat resistance and structural strength. These trays are designed to handle a wide range of food-related applications, from storing frozen meals to oven-cooking and microwave-heating, thanks to their ability to withstand temperatures from -40°F (-40°C) up to 400°F (204°C). This broad temperature tolerance makes them a versatile choice for both commercial and household use, as they can transition seamlessly from freezer to oven to table without the need for transferring food. CPET food trays feature a rigid, sturdy construction with raised edges to contain food items, sauces, and liquids, preventing spills during transport, storage, and heating. They come in various sizes and shapes, including rectangular, square, and round options, to accommodate different food types—from individual portions of grilled chicken or baked fish to larger servings of casseroles, vegetables, or pasta dishes. The material’s inherent strength ensures the trays maintain their shape even when filled with heavy or hot food, avoiding warping or collapse. As a food-grade material, CPET is BPA-free and does not leach harmful chemicals into food, even at high temperatures, ensuring compliance with strict food safety regulations. These trays are often compatible with lids that create a tight seal, preserving freshness during storage and preventing contamination. CPET food trays are widely used in retail for pre-packaged oven-ready meals, in catering for easy preparation and serving, and in households for convenient meal prep. Their versatility, durability, and safety make them a reliable solution for a variety of food packaging and handling needs.
