Reduced and zero-plastic solutions for fresh produce

Part of the ProducePack™ portfolio, the ProducePackPunnet tray is a top-sealed paperboard solution for fresh produce applications such as berries, cherry tomatoes, grapes, and mushrooms. Compared with plastic alternatives, the recyclable punnet tray offers greater on-shelf differentiation with enhanced branding potential thanks to high-quality print. Designed with operational efficiency in mind, the packaging can be top sealed at speeds matching plastic trays, and works with existing machinery and tooling, meaning minimal investment is required to switch to paperboard.

A recent independent study confirmed that the punnet tray can significantly reduce mold occurrence versus plastic punnets, extending shelf life in both refrigerated and ambient conditions.
