The global seafood export industry relies heavily on maintaining the freshness, quality, and safety of products from the processing plant to the final consumer.
Whether exporting shrimp, squid, octopus, cuttlefish, or other frozen seafood products, the packaging plays a vital role in protecting the product throughout the supply chain. High-quality thermoformed packaging trays have become the preferred choice for seafood exporters due to their durability, hygiene, freezer performance, and ability to preserve product quality during transportation.
The Importance of Food-Grade Materials
Seafood is highly perishable and must be packed using materials that comply with food safety standards.
Food-grade thermoformed trays are manufactured from materials that do not contaminate food, release harmful substances, or affect taste and freshness.
At Amuket – APTSPL, Pune (India), our seafood packaging trays are manufactured using premium Virgin Food-Grade APET, RPET, PVC, and HIPS materials.
These materials are carefully selected to ensure product safety, excellent structural strength, and compliance with the demanding requirements of seafood exporters.
Hygiene and Food Safety
Maintaining hygiene is one of the biggest priorities in seafood processing.
Packaging trays must provide a clean and safe environment that prevents contamination during handling, processing, storage, and transportation.
Our thermoformed trays are produced under strict quality control processes using food-contact-safe raw materials.
Their smooth surface and precision design help processors maintain high hygiene standards while improving product presentation and handling efficiency.
Performance Under Extreme Cold Conditions
Frozen seafood products undergo rapid blast freezing to preserve freshness, texture, and nutritional value. Packaging trays must withstand extremely low temperatures without cracking, deforming, or losing their structural integrity.
Amuket’s seafood trays are engineered to withstand:
- Blast Freezing up to –40°C for 3–4 hours
- Frozen Storage and Logistics at –18°C
This ensures the trays retain their strength throughout processing, cold storage, export shipping, and retail distribution.
Superior Product Protection
International seafood shipments involve multiple stages of handling, stacking, loading, unloading, and transportation. Weak or poorly designed packaging can result in damaged products, financial losses, and dissatisfied customers.
Our thermoformed trays provide:
- Excellent impact resistance
- Stable product positioning
- Reduced product movement

- Attractive retail presentation
These features help maintain product quality while reducing damage during transportation.
