Thermoformed plastic meat/poultry packaging tray

Object/Artifact

Rectangular shallow tray with rounded corners and a raised, stepped rim. Pale amber to ivory plastic (reads translucent-amber under direct light, opaque ivory otherwise). Floor molded with longitudinal drainage channels flanking central "ladder" rib fields (short transverse rungs) — a standard drainage/absorbent-pad layout for packaged fresh meat or poultry. Molded rectangular cartouches along the top and bottom edges carry the maker codes. Size code implies roughly 19 × 14 cm (footprint unverified — no scale in image).
