Packaging for Agriculture & Produce
Produce packaging must survive cold chain environments, provide ventilation, maintain stacking strength when wet, and move through fast-paced distribution without slowing pack lines.
Packaging Challenges
What makes packaging for this industry uniquely demanding.
Moisture & Cold Chain
Refrigerated produce environments introduce condensation that rapidly destroys untreated corrugated.
Ventilation Requirements
Fresh produce requires airflow through the packaging to maintain shelf life and prevent ethylene buildup.
Stacking Under Wet Load
Produce cases stack 6-8 high in wet cold storage - stacking strength must account for moisture-weakened board.
Pack Line Speed
Produce packing operations run at high speed - boxes must set up quickly and close reliably without adjustment.
