Why PP Food Trays Are Becoming Increasingly Popular in Supermarkets?
In recent years, PP (Polypropylene) food trays have rapidly become the preferred choice for supermarkets, fresh markets, and food brands around the world. From fresh meat, fruits, vegetables, and seafood to ready meals and sushi, PP trays are now commonly seen on retail shelves.
So, what makes PP food trays stand out? Why are supermarkets replacing traditional packaging with PP trays at such a fast pace? Let’s explore the reasons behind the rising popularity of this versatile packaging solution.
1. Food-Grade Material for Better Safety
Food safety remains a top priority for retailers and consumers. PP is a food-grade, BPA-free material, meaning it does not release harmful substances when in contact with food, whether stored cold or heated.
For supermarkets, this provides strong selling points:
-
Reassures customers
-
Builds trust in product quality
-
Meets increasingly strict regulatory standards
PP trays align perfectly with the global demand for safe and reliable food packaging.
2. Compatible with Sealing Film for Freshness
One of the biggest advantages of PP trays is their ability to be sealed with protective film.
✔ Locks in freshness
✔ Prevents leaks during transportation
✔ Enables clear product presentation
✔ Keeps shelves clean and visually appealing
This feature makes PP trays particularly suitable for meat, seafood, and fresh produce sections in supermarkets.
3. Excellent Temperature Resistance
PP trays support a wide temperature range and can move seamlessly from freezer to heating environments:
| Temperature | Usage |
|---|---|
| -20°C | Frozen storage and cold chain distribution |
| 120°C | Microwave heating, ready-meal packaging |
Retailers and suppliers love this versatility because one packaging solution fits multiple scenarios, reducing operational and procurement complexity.
4. Strong Structure and Space-Saving Design
PP trays are engineered to be:
-
Impact-resistant and durable
-
Lightweight for lower shipping costs
-
Stackable for efficient storage
For supermarkets dealing with large daily stock volumes, these features directly translate into reduced logistics costs and streamlined handling.
