These vacuum skin packaging trays are optimized for visual presentation, shelf-life extension, and operational efficiency. As part of QUNLU’s commitment to delivering superior Thermoformed solutions, the GHW-TT538 Series combines low-profile PP PET carriers with advanced vacuum skin packaging trays design to meet retailer, processor, and consumer demands

Product Overview and Key Features

The GHW-TT538 Series delivers a 258 × 174 mm footprint tailored for packers of fresh meat poultry packaging who require consistent sizing, secure product anchoring, and low-profile merchandising. These vacuum skin packaging trays employ a 12 mm low-profile PP PET carrier that maintains structural integrity while minimizing package height. The low-profile PP PET carriers in this series offer compatibility with skin film application and conventional MAP processes, enabling processors to select packaging lines without compromising performance.

Applications: Fresh Meat, Poultry, and Cold-Chain Retail

These vacuum skin packaging trays are ideal for a wide range of fresh meat poultry packaging applications including whole poultry portions, boneless cuts, poultry breasts, thighs, wings, ground meat, marinated portions, and ready-to-cook items. Retailers and processors seeking packaging that maximizes shelf appeal while minimizing oxygen exposure will find the combination of vacuum skin packaging trays and low-profile PP PET carriers especially effective for fresh meat poultry packaging categories.

Material Innovation and Technical Advantages

QUNLU’s vacuum skin packaging trays utilize a hybrid PP/PET approach that leverages polypropylene’s Thermoformability and polyethylene terephthalate’s clarity and stiffness. The 12 mm low-profile PP PET carriers combine the best properties of both polymers: the PP component facilitates reliable forming and cost-effective production, while the PET component delivers gloss, clarity, and rigidity necessary for retail-ready fresh meat poultry packaging.

Thermoforming Excellence and Manufacturing Quality

As part of QUNLU’s production capabilities, these vacuum skin packaging trays are manufactured on German and Japanese thermoforming lines that ensure precision, repeatability, and high throughput. The use of advanced thermoforming equipment guarantees that vacuum skin packaging trays adhere to exact dimensional tolerances for automated filling and sealing lines. The low-profile PP PET carriers are formed with consistent wall thickness and defined rim geometries to enhance sealing performance and reduce scrap

Customization, OEM/ODM Services, and Brand Integration

QUNLU offers OEM and ODM services for vacuum skin packaging trays and low-profile PP PET carriers, enabling brand owners to tailor dimensions, rim designs, and material specifications to meet unique operational needs. QUNLU’s engineering team collaborates with customers to adapt vacuum skin packaging trays for specific fresh meat poultry packaging lines

① Egg-Safe Cushion Cavities — Twenty-four individual pockets separate the eggs and reduce direct shell-to-shell contact during routine packing and transport.

② Internal Support Posts — Molded columns between cavities reinforce the closed pack and distribute top pressure across the egg layout during stacking.

③ Secure Snap-Lock Closure — The formed locking edge keeps the hinged lid aligned with the base through grading, case packing and retail handling.

④ Clear Retail Inspection — High-clarity PET allows fast visual checks of count, shell color and visible damage without repeatedly opening the egg carton.

⑤ Stack-Stable Egg Packaging — Reinforced ribs, nesting geometry and coordinated lid-to-base contact support organized cartons and refrigerated shelf display.

Each egg sits in an individually formed cavity. Rising posts between the pockets help maintain separation and meet the lid when closed, creating multiple load-transfer points instead of concentrating stacking pressure directly on the egg shells.

The hinged lid and base are formed as one piece for a straightforward packing sequence. The closure should be fully engaged before case packing. Actual breakage performance depends on egg grade, shell strength, fill accuracy, case loading and distribution conditions; line and transit trials are recommended.

Production is managed in a Class 100,000 clean-room environment using KIEFEL and ASANO thermoforming equipment. Project options include PET or confirmed rPET content, custom tint, label-area review, embossed identification subject to tooling and adjusted carton configuration.

Safety: BPA-Free · PFAS-Free · No heavy metals · FDA-compliant food-contact material

Zhejiang Qunlu New Material Co., Ltd. is a direct packaging manufacturer with 15+ years of B2B export experience, a 100,000 sqm production site and more than 5,000 active molds. Buyers communicate directly with the factory team.

For egg packaging, process control centers on cavity consistency, hinge formation, lock engagement and post height. These points are checked against approved samples because small dimensional variation can affect closing performance, stacking contact and egg protection on automated or manual lines.

The Pinghu, Jiaxing plant is approximately 90 minutes from Shanghai Port and two hours from Ningbo Port. Export cartons, certificates, packing lists and mixed-container planning can be coordinated for regional distributors and retail programs.

Q1: How does the 24-count egg clamshell help reduce breakage?

Individual cavities separate the eggs, while internal support posts distribute stacking pressure through the package structure. Final breakage results still depend on egg size, shell quality, closure, case loading and transport conditions.

Q2: Is QL-J-024Z a hinged or two-piece egg carton?

It is a one-piece hinged PET clamshell. The lid remains attached to the base during packing and closes through the formed snap-lock area, reducing loose-component handling on the filling line.

Q3: Can the packs be stacked for refrigerated distribution?

Yes. Molded ribs, support posts and coordinated lid-to-base contact are designed for orderly stacking. Confirm the permitted stack height through filled-pack compression and transit testing under your actual cold-chain conditions.

Q4: Is GRS-certified rPET available?

GRS-certified recycled-content options can be evaluated for the project. Specify the requested percentage, clarity target and destination-market requirements so material availability, appearance and mechanical performance can be confirmed during sampling.

Q5: Can we add a logo or retail label?

Adhesive label application and label-area planning are available. Embossed identification requires tooling review. Send the artwork, label dimensions, barcode position and application method for a pack-specific recommendation.

Q6: What are the sample and mass-production lead times?

Standard samples are normally arranged in 3–7 business days. Mass production is typically 15–20 business days after the material, appearance, packing method, sample and purchase order are approved.

Q7: What information is required for a quotation?

Please provide order quantity, annual demand, destination port, egg size or grade, packing method, cold-chain conditions, label or embossing requirements and any carton-loading limits. We will quote the confirmed configuration.
