Packaging for fruits and vegetables must ensure freshness, protection, hygiene, convenience, and sustainability.
- Freshness & Shelf Life: Packaging should use barrier films, perforations, or nitrogen flushing to maintain moisture balance and prevent spoilage.
- Physical Protection: Flexible yet durable materials help prevent bruising and crushing during transportation. Options like pillow bags and block bottom pouches provide added strength.
- Hygiene & Food Safety: Packaging must comply with FDA and USDA standards, use food-safe materials, and offer tamper-evident seals. Washdown-ready machines ensure sanitary production.
- Convenience & Appeal: Zippers, spouts, and clear windows improve usability and branding, making stand-up pouches and side gusset bags ideal for retail.
