Advantages of Plastic PP Meat Trays

In the meat packaging and storage business, the choice of trays has a major impact on quality and safety, and on consumer satisfaction. For retailers, households and food businesses, the comprehensive advantages of Polypropylene (PP) plastic trays become a reason of preference. Xiamen Xiexinhong Plastic Co Ltd, a specialized food packaging products manufacturer, understands this and delivers high quality PP plastic meat trays to meat packers. The versatility of PP plastic trays for fresh meat display, frozen meat storage, and meat delivery has no equal. Below are the advantages of plastic PP meat trays and their reason for being a trusted packaging choice.   

Advantage 1 The Material Safety of Plastic PP Meat Trays

The foremost benefit of PP plastic meat trays is safety. PP plastic meat trays have food grade safety certifications and contain no harmful substances such as BPA, phthalates or heavy metals. These dangerous substances that can lead to serious health problems can leach into meat and are of no concerns when dealing with PP meat trays as PP contains no harmful substances and is chemically stable when in constant contact with meat juices even for prolonged periods or during refrigeration. Xiamen Xiexinhong’s plastic PP meat trays have also passed world renowned certifications such as the FDA and SGS certifications. This is because Xiamen Xiexinhong’s plastic PP meat trays are food grade and safe according to all relevant Xiamen XPathX food safety standards. This is because every batch of plastic meat trays is quality inspected to ensure no harmful additives are present. This also means that the meat can safely be placed within plastic PP meat trays and the consumer has peace of mind knowing that the meat is safe for the consumer. 

Advantage 2 Excellent Freshness Preservation of Plastic PP Meat Trays.

Polypropylene (PP) plastic trays keep meat fresh and are critical in maintaining meat quality. They keep external air, moisture, and bacteria out of trays, slowing down meat spoilage and preventing meat oxidation. For instance, fresh beef is placed in a PP plastic meat tray and sealed with a film. The tray prevents bacterial growth and keeps the beef moisture extending its shelf life 2-3 days compared to ordinary trays. The Xiamen Xiexinhong company adjusts the thickness and structure of PP plastic meat trays to improve and enhance the barrier effect. Some manufacturers construct anti-fog features on the surface allowing buyers to see the meat without opening the package. This helps minimize spoilage and helps buyers achieve excellent quality meat.

Advantage 3 Plastic PP Meat Trays Safety from Damage.

Plastic PP meat trays have practical benefits like durability and being leak-proof. During storing and transporting, meat releases juices, but our molded plastic PP meat trays are designed to contain them.  They are impact-resistant. Therefore, Plastic PP meat trays are tough and are unable to crack, bend, or break even when carrying large meat cuts like whole chickens or large beef cuts. Xiamen Xiexinhong’s Plastic PP Meat Trays have edges that are raised and bottoms that are deepened to hold meat juices to prevent leaks that can contaminate other food or packaging. PP plastic trays are easy to clean due to their smooth, non-porous surface, so even spilled juices do not leave any residue behind. This leak-proof and durability design will ensure the meat will remain clean and intact during transporting, storing, and even during handling. 

Advantage 4 Wide Temperature Adaptability of Plastic PP Meat Trays

PP plastic trays are a great choice for versatile meat storage conditions because of their unique temperature range qualities.  Unlike other plastics that become brittle or break when frozen and soften when heated, PP is good from -20℃ to 100℃.  This means PP plastic trays can be used for frozen meat storage (-18℃ in freezers), meat display in refrigerators (0-4℃), and even during short-term heating (lower temperature microwaving) of cooked meat.  PP plastic meat trays from Xiamen Xiexinhong are specially optimized for this degree of temperature resistance so they will avoid breaking and not leaching toxic materials.  Supermarket freezers and home refrigerators have meat storage needs so diverse that meat trays need this temperature range.  

Advantage 5 Cost Effectiveness and Customization of Plastic PP Meat Trays

When businesses package meat, cost control is a major concern. Stainless steel containers are much more expensive and soy based meat packaging systems containers do not offer the same benefits making plastic PP containers the most cost efficient choice. Being able to purchase plastic PP meat trays in bulk is a big advantage to large scale meat packaging and distribution companies. Supermarkets and large chain stores even have the ability to customize the trays with branded safety information.  Customization is a big advantage to businesses. Supermarkets and other large stores even have the ability to customize the trays with branded safety information.
