Why Choosing the Right CPET Trays Manufacturer Matters for Your Food Business
CPET (Crystallized Polyethylene Terephthalate) trays are the invisible backbone of modern food safety and sustainability. From freezer-to-oven convenience to reducing plastic waste, these trays protect meals for millions daily. But not all manufacturers deliver equal quality. Choosing the right CPET trays manufacturer impacts your product safety, operational costs, and environmental footprint. FDA/EC Compliance: Non-negotiable for direct food contact
ISO 9001 & 22000: Proof of consistent quality management
BPA-Free Guarantees: Third-party tested material safety reports Feature Why It Matters -40°C to 220°C Tolerance Survives blast freezing + convection ovens Oxygen Barrier (<0.5 cc/m²/day) Extends shelf life by 30-50% Moisture Resistance (<0.7 g/m²/day) Prevents sogginess in saucy foods
*Example: JH Packaging's dual-oven trays withstand 45-minute cook cycles without warping.* Compartmentalization: 2-5 section trays for meal kits
Embossing/Texturing: Brand logos + anti-slip surfaces
Denesting Angles: Critical for high-speed filling lines

*Key Fact: Switching to our trays cuts landfill waste by 73% vs. multi-layer packaging.* Tray-to-Tray Recycling: Used trays become new food containers PCR Sourcing: Partnering with ocean plastic recovery programs Energy Recovery: Non-recyclable waste powers manufacturing
Q: How do I verify a manufacturer's quality claims?
A: Demand third-party lab reports for: Migration testing (EU 10/2011 standards)
50-cycle thermal shock documentation
Certificates of Analysis for PCR content
Q: Can CPET trays be recycled locally?
A: Yes – they're #1 PET plastic. Over 85% of U.S. curbside programs accept them when clean. JH provides recycling guidance labels for consumers.
Choosing your CPET trays manufacturer isn't just a procurement decision – it's a commitment to food safety, efficiency, and planetary health. JH Packaging combines 30+ years of engineering expertise with radical sustainability.
