Polystyrene trays are formed from expanded or extruded polystyrene (EPS or XPS), offering a combination of rigidity, insulation, and low weight. This structure helps maintain product temperature and freshness, making them ideal for packaging fresh meat, poultry, fish, and other chilled foods.
The material’s smooth, non-porous surface enhances hygiene and prevents moisture absorption, while its cushioning properties protect delicate products during handling and transport. Trays are available in a range of colours and thicknesses to suit different product categories and visual preferences.
Polystyrene trays can be sealed with film using Traysealer systems or used as open-serve containers in retail displays. They offer reliable protection and consistent performance in demanding cold chain environments while remaining easy to stack and store.
Although traditional polystyrene is not compostable, recyclable options are available, supporting businesses working toward more sustainable packaging solutions without losing the thermal and protective benefits of this material.
