Technical Buyer Guide
Fresh Food Trays, Meat Trays & MAP Packaging Solutions Specification Guide
High-Barrier Fresh Food Trays for Meat, Seafood & Poultry
Chilled fresh proteins require advanced barrier protection to prevent myoglobin oxidation, discoloration, and microbial spoilage. Raytek supplies rigid meat trays, seafood trays, and poultry trays co-extruded with EVOH (Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol) multi-layer barriers that achieve ultra-low Oxygen Transmission Rates (OTR < 1.5–2.0 cc/m²·day).
This exceptional gas barrier preserves the natural bloom and tenderness of fresh meat under modified atmospheres (CO₂/N₂/O₂ gas blends), extending retail shelf life by up to 14–21 days compared to conventional PVC overwrap trays.
Automated Heat Sealing & Tray Denesting Precision
High-speed packaging facilities cannot afford jam-ups or weak heat seals. Raytek heat seal food trays are manufactured with strict flange flatness tolerances (±0.2mm) and consistent perimeter geometry, ensuring 100% hermetic top-web film lidding on Multivac, Mondini, Proseal, and ULMA packaging machines.
Engineered de-nesting lugs prevent tray interlocking in automated feeding hoppers, allowing packing lines to operate continuously at maximum speed with minimal downtime.
Purge Control, Absorbent Integration & Custom Dimensions
To keep protein cuts appealing in display cases, our fresh food trays are available with integrated micro-groove base channels that trap purge away from the meat surface. We also supply trays pre-fitted with certified food-grade absorbent pads.
Whether your facility requires standard shallow depths for sliced cold cuts or deep cavity profiles for whole poultry and family-pack steaks, Raytek provides tailored tool design and custom color masterbatches including high-gloss black, clear, and stark white.
