Clear PET Tray Description

The clear PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) tray is a popular plastic used in food packaging because it is transparent, durable, and safe. It has a glass-like look, yet it is very lightweight and resistant to breaking. Whether for takeout, baked goods, fresh produce, or deli items, PET trays let customers see the contents clearly, making it easier to decide while keeping the food fresh and safe. Plus, it’s fully recyclable, making it a great choice for sustainability.

Clear PET Tray Specification

Clear PET Tray Features

Crystal-Clear Transparency

Clear PET Trays are made from high-quality PET material, offering a "crystal-clear” view that showcases fresh ingredients and enhances shelf appeal.

High Rigidity and Leak Resistance

These clear PET trays are made from durable materials that resist cracking and offer excellent strength. This ensures the tray feels sturdy in your hand and has reliable lids that prevent spills during delivery and takeout.

Lightweight and Stackable

Clear PET trays look similar to glass but avoid the weight and fragility problems of real glass. Their stackable design makes them easier to handle in cafés, at events, and in busy retail settings.

Eco-Friendly and Recyclable

Clear PET trays are made from #1 PET plastic, one of the most commonly recycled plastics. You can recycle these trays through certain programs — check locally.

Customizable

Clear PET trays can be customized to display your brand, company, or event. They are available in various sizes and colors, including round, square, and rectangular shapes, and come in clamshell, hinged, or separate lid/base styles.
