What Are CPET Trays?
CPET (Crystallised Polyethylene Terephthalate) is a type of plastic designed to withstand both extreme cold and high heat. Unlike traditional containers that can crack in the freezer or warp in the oven, CPET trays are engineered to:
- Handle temperatures from -40°C to +220°C.
- Provide excellent barrier protection against moisture, oxygen, and contaminants.
- Maintain their shape and strength during freezing, reheating, or baking.
This makes them ideal for ready meals, foodservice, and meal prep businesses in Australia.
Why CPET Trays Are the Future of Food Packaging
- Freezer-to-Oven Convenience
The biggest advantage of freezer-to-oven food packaging is the ability to cook or reheat meals without needing to transfer food to another dish. It’s a huge time-saver for busy households and commercial kitchens. - Food Safety and Freshness
CPET trays offer strong sealing options, locking in freshness and reducing the risk of contamination. This is especially critical for businesses in Australia’s growing ready-meal and food delivery sectors. - Sustainability and Recycling
Many CPET trays are recyclable, making them a more sustainable choice compared to single-use plastics. With businesses under increasing pressure to meet eco-friendly standards, custom CPET trays provide a balance of performance and environmental responsibility. - Durability for Food Businesses
From airlines to catering companies, CPET trays are trusted worldwide because they reduce food waste, resist cracking, and support efficient storage and stacking. - Enhanced Customer Experience
For consumers, it’s all about convenience. The ability to move food straight from the freezer to the oven makes meal prep easier and more enjoyable.

Not all food businesses have the same requirements, which is why custom CPET trays are becoming increasingly popular in Australia. Carewell Group designs trays tailored to:
- Portion size and shape – from single-serve to family meals.
