Meat trays: where fiber meets a wet, cold load
A meat tray sits between two hard requirements: the pack must contain purge without leaking, and it must not add a permanent material to a supply chain that is already under scrutiny. Fiber trays are pressed to handle the first and are built to solve the second.
What the design has to manage:
- Purge control - a raised product platform and a channel below it keep the meat out of its own liquid.
- Cold-chain geometry - walls that keep their shape when filled, stacked and moved in and out of refrigeration.
- A clean food-facing surface from the wet-press process, so a tray can be used for direct display rather than behind a film.
- Stacking rims that carry the load on the tray edge rather than on the contents of the tray below.
Fiber also solves the visual problem of a plastic tray: a natural or white pressed surface reads as fresh rather than industrial, and it takes direct print for weight, cut and traceability marks without a separate label.
Where a longer shelf life demands a barrier, the tray is designed to work with the barrier the pack already has rather than claiming one it does not. MOQ is 10,000 pieces per design; tooling 7–15 days; production 15–25 days after sample approval. Tell us the product format and the pack weight - or see the fiber packaging range.
