These modified atmosphere packaging trays are engineered to deliver extended shelf life, superior product presentation, and optimized supply chain performance for retailers and foodservice operators seeking OEM food packaging solutions that align with sustainable food packaging trends

Product Features and Construction

The GHW-2518 Series modified atmosphere packaging trays are formed from a PP (polypropylene) base laminated with a PE (polyethylene) film layer to create a versatile, durable tray optimized for fresh meat packaging innovation. The PP base provides structural rigidity and heat resistance for processing, display, and transport, while the PE film layer ensures excellent Sealability and compatibility with high-barrier lidding films

Applications and Use Cases

These modified atmosphere packaging trays are ideal for fresh meat packaging innovation scenarios including retail-ready fresh beef, pork, lamb, and poultry, as well as marinated meats, sliced deli products, and prepared meals. For prepared foods, the GHW-2518 Series supports ready-to-heat and ready-to-eat products where modified atmosphere packaging trays maintain product quality and extend shelf life.

Technical Advantages and Innovation

QUNLU’s GHW-2518 Series emphasizes fresh meat packaging innovation through precise thermoforming made on German and Japanese lines, ensuring dimensional accuracy and repeatable quality for OEM food packaging solutions. The PP + PE film structure is designed to optimize barrier performance while avoiding overuse of materials, aligning with sustainable food packaging trends. These modified atmosphere packaging trays provide tailored gas retention characteristics, improving the effectiveness of MAP processes and reducing food waste

Sustainability and Regulatory Compliance

Aligned with sustainable food packaging trends, QUNLU designs the GHW-2518 Series to balance performance and material efficiency. The PP + PE film construction facilitates light-weighting while maintaining functional barrier integrity, which helps reduce material use and shipping weight. As a manufacturer with FDA, BRC, and ISO certifications, QUNLU guarantees that these modified atmosphere packaging trays meet food contact safety standards and support brands pursuing environmentally responsible OEM food packaging solutions

Why Choose QUNLU GHW-2518 Series

Brands and processors choosing the GHW-2518 Series gain access to proven OEM food packaging solutions backed by a manufacturer experienced in food-grade production and certified to global standards. The trays deliver fresh meat packaging innovation through a PP + PE film design that balances structural support, Sealability, and material efficiency consistent with sustainable food packaging trends.

① VSP-Ready Low Profile — The 12 mm tray keeps the pack compact and lets the product, rather than excess tray depth, dominate the display.

② Broad Sealing Flange — A continuous perimeter area supports close film contact when matched with the buyer's validated vacuum skin packaging process.

③ Two Retail Finishes — Choose black PP for high product contrast or double-sided gold-laminated PET for a premium meat and seafood presentation.

④ Cross-Ribbed Base — Molded diagonal ribs reinforce the broad base and help the tray remain visually flat during loading, handling and display.

⑤ Factory Sampling Support — Tray-and-film compatibility can be checked with production samples in 3–7 business days before the order is finalized.

The shallow tray geometry is designed for vacuum skin packaging rather than a snap-on lid. During packing, a compatible heated top web is formed closely around the food and sealed against the perimeter flange. Final seal strength, peel behavior and pack appearance depend on the selected film, equipment settings and food surface; production trials are required.

The raised rim and molded cross ribs provide structural definition without obscuring the product. The black version emphasizes color contrast, while the reflective gold finish supports premium merchandising. The tray itself does not include skin film, absorbent pads or labels unless these items are separately specified in the quotation.

Production is managed in a Class 100,000 clean-room environment using KIEFEL and ASANO thermoforming equipment. Available project support includes color review, tray samples, carton configuration and sealing trials using the buyer's target film and machine parameters.

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 work with the factory team rather than an intermediary.

For GHW-TT538, purchasing control focuses on resin, finish and flange consistency. PP and gold-laminated PET are treated as separate production configurations even though they share one sales SKU and footprint; each configuration is quoted, sampled and approved against its intended VSP film.

The Pinghu, Jiaxing plant is approximately 90 minutes from Shanghai Port and two hours from Ningbo Port. Export cartons, packing lists, certificates and shipment documentation can be coordinated for mixed-container food-packaging orders.

Q1: What is the difference between the two GHW-TT538 configurations?

The black version is food-grade PP and prioritizes contrast and utility. The gold version is food-grade PET with a double-sided laminated metallic finish for premium presentation. Dimensions, nominal weight and case quantity are the same.

Q2: Is the vacuum skin film included with the tray?

No. GHW-TT538 is the rigid carrier tray. The VSP top web is selected separately to match the food, shelf-life target, tray material and sealing equipment. We recommend a tray-and-film trial before mass production.

Q3: Can the tray run on my existing VSP machine?

Compatibility depends on the machine's tooling area, flange support, heat profile, vacuum cycle and film specification. Send the sealer model and current film data; our team will provide samples for a controlled line test.

Q4: Which version is better for chilled or frozen products?

Selection should be based on the target temperature, distribution cycle, film structure and impact requirements. Provide the complete storage and handling profile so PP and PET samples can be evaluated under actual conditions.

Q5: Can the color or finish be customized?

Color development is available subject to resin, order volume and food-contact review. The shown options are black PP and double-sided gold-laminated PET. Other finishes should be sampled and approved before commercial production.

Q6: What are the sampling and production lead times?

Standard samples are normally arranged in 3–7 business days. Mass production is typically 15–20 business days after the material, finish, VSP compatibility, artwork or embossing requirements and purchase order are confirmed.

Q7: What information is required for a quotation?

Please provide the selected material and finish, annual volume, order quantity, destination port, packed food, storage temperature, VSP machine model, top-web specification and any carton or branding requirements.
