What Is a Clear PET Disposable Food Tray?
A Clear PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) Disposable Food Tray is a thermoformed packaging container designed for single-use food applications. These trays are made from food-grade PET plastic, known for its exceptional transparency, high-impact resistance, and excellent barrier properties. PET trays are widely used to package fresh produce, bakery items, deli foods, meat, seafood, and ready-to-eat meals.
Unlike opaque packaging alternatives, clear PET trays showcase the food inside with crystal-clear visibility, enhancing consumer trust and product appeal. Most importantly, they are lightweight, stackable, and recyclable, meeting both operational and environmental needs.

Key Benefits of Clear PET Food Trays
High Clarity for Visual Appeal
PET’s glass-like clarity makes these trays ideal for retail display. Consumers can easily assess freshness and quality without opening the package.
Excellent Strength and Durability
Despite being lightweight, PET trays offer superior rigidity and impact resistance, reducing the risk of cracking or leaking during handling or transport.
Moisture and Oxygen Barrier
PET forms a natural barrier against moisture and oxygen, helping to extend the shelf life of perishable foods.
Customizable Shapes and Compartments
Available in various sizes, depths, and compartment configurations to accommodate different types of food items — from sushi to salads to frozen meals.
Eco-Friendly and Recyclable
PET is one of the most widely recycled plastics. Many trays are also made using recycled PET (RPET), supporting circular packaging solutions.
Why Choose PET Over Other Materials?
When compared to PP, PS, or foam trays, PET trays offer superior clarity and barrier properties. While PP is more suitable for microwave use, PET performs better in cold-chain logistics and refrigerated display. Additionally, PET’s recyclability gives it an edge in sustainable packaging initiatives.
| Material | Clarity | Recyclability | Barrier Performance | Temperature Resistance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PET | ★★★★★ | ★★★★★ | ★★★★☆ | -20°C to 60°C |
| PP | ★★☆☆☆ | ★★★★☆ | ★★☆☆☆ | 0°C to 120°C |
| PS | ★★★☆☆ | ★★☆☆☆ | ★☆☆☆☆ | 0°C to 70°C |
