High-Barrier Meat Trays That Extend Shelf Life
Protect freshness and extend shelf life with high-barrier thermoformed meat trays from Elmes Packaging.
Meat Packaging Challenges We Solve Together
Leaks, weak seals, and oxygen exposure can turn good meat into waste long before it leaves your facility. Inconsistent tray quality slows production, causes downtime, and risks rejected loads.
Our high-barrier meat trays are built to stop oxygen transfer, prevent leaks, and maintain the tight tolerances your sealing equipment demands — protecting product freshness and extending shelf life with every run.
Designing Trays That Protect Meat Quality and Reduce Waste
We design thermoformed meat trays that combine multi-layer polypropylene with EVOH oxygen barrier layers to protect product colour, aroma, and texture. Every tray is engineered for precise wall thickness, flange width, and corner geometry to eliminate leaks and seal issues.
Each design is tested to run reliably on high-speed filling, vacuum, and MAP systems, reducing stoppages and minimizing waste.
Whether you’re launching a new product or updating a legacy meat tray, your packaging performs as expected from the first shift to the last pallet.
