Pâté & Meat Paks – What They Are Used For
When it comes to food packaging, businesses in the meat and chilled food industry need solutions that prioritise freshness, hygiene, and presentation. This is where heat sealable meat trays come in. Often referred to as MeatPAKs and PâtéPAKs, these specially designed containers are a staple for butchers, food manufacturers, and retailers looking for professional, tamper-evident, and convenient packaging options.
What Are Heat Sealable Meat Trays?
Heat sealable meat trays are durable, food-grade plastic containers designed to hold raw or cooked meat, pâté, and other chilled food products. They are sealed with a film lid using a heat-sealing machine, ensuring the product stays fresh, protected, and visually appealing on the shelf. This type of packaging is widely used across the food sector because it combines safety with convenience.
Why Choose MeatPAKs and PâtéPAKs?
MeatPAK and PâtéPAK trays are more than just containers – they are tailored packaging solutions for meat and pâté products. Here’s why they are popular:
- Food Safety: The heat-sealed lid creates a tamper-evident closure, giving consumers confidence that the product has not been contaminated.
- Extended Shelf Life: Airtight sealing helps preserve freshness, reduce spoilage, and maintain flavour for longer periods.
- Professional Presentation: With crystal-clear visibility and secure sealing, products look more attractive and trustworthy in retail settings.
- Convenience for Retailers & Consumers: Easy to stack, transport, and open, these trays make life easier across the supply chain.
