Our Purpose

Science-Backed Solutions with Practical Applications

Precision Design & Holistic Approach

Every modified atmosphere package is customized for each produce item’s unique respiration needs. We use proprietary formulae and know-how with proven results to select the optimal film from our broad portfolio with variable water vapor transmission rates (WVTR) and excellent antifog properties. We then regulate film permeability by precision laser perforation to achieve the optimal combination of O2 and CO2 concentrations for shelf life extension of fruits and vegetables under prevailing supply chain conditions.

Our packaging solutions preserve freshness through the combined effect of Modified Atmosphere (MA), Modified Humidity (MH) and condensation control, which effectively slows down respiration, inhibits ethylene production and action, suppresses microbial decay, and minimizes weight loss and shriveling.

Packaging Solutions For Shelf Life Extension of Fruits and Vegetables

Nearly 25 different MA/MH film structures allow us to provide tailor-made solutions for more than 60 different produce types in different formats. All films are printable and available in a range of packaging formats.
