Food-Grade Plastic Cooked Food Tray

Shunxin factory’s Food-Grade Plastic Cooked Food Trays are manufactured from food-grade PP/HDPE sheet material using high-temperature heating and vacuum thermoforming processes. They withstand temperatures ranging from -20°C to 120°C, making them suitable for holding hot food and for microwave reheating, while remaining stable against oils and leak-proof. When paired with PE or PET cling film, these trays can be used with compatible sealing films to create a sealed package, helping reduce air exposure and flavor transfer.

Customization options include multi-compartment designs, allowing for the separate placement of main courses, side dishes, and sauces. Shunxin operates under strict international quality management standards; our products comply with FDA and EU food-contact regulations, and dimensions, shapes, colors, and printed designs can all be customized to meet specific requirements. We accept OEM and ODM orders.

Product Parameter

Product Advantages

1. Food-Contact Material Options

Available in selected food-grade PP and HDPE configurations according to the intended application and applicable food-contact requirements.

2. Heat-Resistant PP Option

Selected PP configurations can support temperatures up to 120°C under specified conditions, making them suitable for certain hot-food applications.

3. Leak-Control Sealing Rim

The integrated sealing rim is designed to improve tray-and-lid fit and help reduce leakage of sauces and liquids during handling and transport.

4. Multi-Compartment Design

Different compartment layouts can be customized to separate main dishes, side dishes, sauces, and other food items.

5. Stable Stacking Structure

The tray can be designed for stable stacking to improve storage and transportation efficiency. Recommended stacking height depends on the tray structure, food load, and handling conditions.

Proper Use & Storage Requirements

1. Storage

Store the trays in a cool and dry area, away from prolonged direct sunlight and excessive heat to help prevent premature material aging and embrittlement.

2. Microwave Use

For models approved for microwave use, keep each heating cycle within 3 minutes. Do not heat an empty tray at high temperature for an extended period to avoid softening or deformation.

3. Loading & Stacking

For very hot or soup-based cooked foods, thicker and deeper tray configurations are recommended. The maximum stacking height should not exceed 6 layers according to the specified application requirements to reduce pressure on the lower trays and the risk of leakage.

4. Cleaning

For reusable applications, wash with neutral detergent and warm water, and allow the trays to dry completely before stacking and storage. Remove food or sauce residues promptly to maintain cleanliness.

5. Sealing Requirements

For liquid or sauce-based foods, use the matching lid or sealing system supplied for the product. Third-party lids with insufficient fit may increase the risk of leakage.
