The GHW-2518 Series combines food-grade PP trays with PE lidding film in a coordinated modified atmosphere packaging system built around an approximately 250 × 180 mm footprint. Five single-compartment depths support fresh-protein programs with a 180 × 100 mm absorbent pad, while four three-compartment formats separate prepared-food components.
When correctly gas-flushed and hermetically sealed, the package helps retain the specified internal atmosphere, reduce oxygen exposure and support freshness, color and moisture management during a controlled cold chain. All depths can run on the same sealing equipment; the film specification, gas mix and process recipe require product-specific validation.

QUNLU introduces the 250 × 180 mm PP + PE Film Modified Atmosphere Packaging Trays for Fresh Meat & Prepared Foods, GHW-2518 Series, a high-performance solution engineered for food processors. Designed with dimensions optimized for food-service applications, these modified atmosphere packaging trays deliver exceptional protection and consistent presentation for MAP trays fresh meat products
Product Overview and Key Features

The 2518 platform combines a wide perimeter flange with rounded corners, tapered nesting walls and vertical reinforcing ribs. Single-compartment trays provide an uninterrupted loading area, while the divided versions use molded walls to separate components without loose inserts.
All GHW-2518 models use a PP tray with PE lidding film and can run on the same sealing equipment because they share the series sealing footprint. Correct sealing helps limit gas exchange and leakage; matching tray holders or tooling inserts and validated temperature, dwell time and pressure may be required during changeover.
Production is managed in a Class 100,000 clean-room environment using KIEFEL and ASANO thermoforming equipment. PP tray colors can be customized, and projects can specify absorbent-pad performance, PE film requirements, embossing subject to tooling and case configuration. Final shelf life must be established through food-specific MAP and cold-chain testing.
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 MAP trays, quality control focuses on flange flatness, wall thickness distribution, dimensional consistency, nesting release and seal-area cleanliness. The shared sealing footprint supports one lidding-film machine across the series, while each depth and compartment layout is checked against its approved sample.
The Pinghu, Jiaxing plant is near Shanghai and Ningbo ports. Model mixes, absorbent-pad configuration, export cartons and loading plans can be coordinated after the selected SKU, sealing film and packing-line parameters are confirmed.

Q1: Are all nine trays part of one 2518 MAP tray series?
Yes. They share a closely related rectangular 2518 platform, but depth, width, compartment layout, weight and packing data vary. Select each SKU from the specification matrix.
Q2: What material system is used for the MAP package?
The series uses a food-grade PP tray with PE lidding film. Confirm film thickness, barrier target, peel strength and sealing-machine conditions through samples and filled-pack trials.
Q3: Can all models use the same lidding-film equipment?
Yes. The full GHW-2518 Series can run on the same lidding-film machine. Use the matching tray holder or tooling insert and validate the recipe for each depth, layout, film and food.
Q4: Which models are intended for fresh meat?
The H30, H35, H40, H45 and H65 single-compartment formats are recorded with 180 × 100 mm absorbent pads and are suited to chilled protein trials.
Q5: What are the three-compartment trays used for?
The divided formats separate mains, sides, vegetables or sauces for prepared-meal programs. Product viscosity, fill volume and divider height should be tested before launch.
Q6: What benefits can the modified atmosphere package provide?
When properly processed, the sealed package can help control oxygen exposure, retain the selected gas environment and support freshness, color, moisture management and presentation. Shelf life requires product-specific validation.
Q7: What information is required for a quotation?
Provide model mix, quantity, food type, target fill weight, custom tray color, pad requirement, PE-film specification, sealing machine, gas process, destination port and carton constraints.
