Sealing route

Confirm the package as a sealing system

MAP-ready paper packaging is not only a tray. The food, film, rim, machine, storage route, and shelf-life target all affect feasibility.

Tray rim geometry

Flat rim width, sealing surface, corner radius, tray depth, and tooling fit should be checked before sample approval.

Send: top size, bottom size, height, and rim photo
EVOH film route

EVOH barrier can support MAP-ready routes when shelf-life target, gas mix, food moisture, and storage condition are clear.

Send: shelf life and storage temperature
Machine fit

Film width, sealing temperature, tooling, cycle speed, and machine model should be known before mass production.

Send: machine model and current tooling status
Test plan

Samples should support sealing fit, leakage check, shelf-life direction, food-contact review, and packing validation.

Send: sample test goals and launch date

Direct answers

Buyer questions, answered

Concise sourcing answers based on the public specifications and quotation routes on this page.

What affects MAP paper tray sealing?

MAP paper tray sealing depends on tray rim geometry, sealing surface, paperboard structure, EVOH film route, sealing film, food moisture, filling temperature, machine model, tooling, and target shelf life.

What should buyers send before MAP tray sampling?

Send food type, food weight, filling temperature, storage condition, target shelf life, tray dimensions, rim design, sealing machine model, film requirement, quantity, and destination market.

Can MAP-ready paper trays use EVOH film barrier?

Yes. EVOH film barrier routes can be reviewed for MAP-ready paper trays and bowls when food use, shelf-life target, sealing equipment, and market requirements are clear.

Confirm final dimensions, materials, food-contact documents, packing, and destination-market requirements against the current sample and quotation before purchase.
