Clearly Clean Products, LLC, the trailblazing company behind rolled-edge, recyclable food tray packaging, has introduced two innovative 100% recyclable overwrap food trays to their line-up: a 12-pocket meatball tray and a two-cell patty tray, each revolutionizing packaging with a patented smooth edge designed to eliminate overwrap film tears.

Crafted from PET – the same eco-friendly material used in recyclable water bottles – these trays not only champion sustainability but also offer unparalleled customization in size, thickness, shape, and even color. More than mere packaging, they underscore Clearly Clean Products’ commitment to both environmental responsibility and impeccable product presentation.

The trays’ unique rolled edge makes them thrice as strong as traditional polystyrene trays, eliminating the notorious “bow tying” phenomenon caused by frail walls. This robustness translates to reduced product loss, increased customer satisfaction, and ensures they can endure high-speed processing without compromising structural integrity. Even better? In case of any film or styling glitches, the trays can be effortlessly reworked.

Switching to these trays is a breeze for businesses. Compatible with existing high-speed packaging machinery, they effortlessly replace conventional plastic and foam trays without necessitating any equipment changes. Moreover, their distinctive PET look, combined with an array of color options, including a crystal-clear variant, promises to make products pop off the shelves and draw consumer attention.

The escalating bans on polystyrene across cities and counties, coupled with consumer activism and corporate eco-targets, have sparked a surge in demand for green packaging solutions. “The introduction of these two trays, bringing our total offering to 21, mirrors our unwavering commitment to sustainable packaging,” expressed Michael Hoppes, engineering manager at Clearly Clean Products. “With multiple clients already expressing interest, consumers can expect to spot these trays at their local grocery stores shortly.”
