MAP Packaging Technology That Keeps Produce Fresher, Longer

Combining science and advanced materials to create cutting-edge modified atmosphere packaging solutions that maximize fresh produce shelf-life extension.

We develop and produce proprietary micro-perforated breathable films that create microclimate environments. Our hermetically sealed packaging regulates the gas composition of fresh produce, preserving freshness, extending shelf life, reducing cross-contamination, and enhancing food safety standards.

Moisture Control Where It Counts

Optimal respiration rates and humidity levels for different produce types.

Our broad, versatile range of sustainable MAP packaging technology solutions addresses the three major challenges facing the fresh produce industry: supply chain waste reduction, cost savings, and the support of a circular economy.

Learn More

Modified Atmosphere (MA)

Precision respiration control that slows respiration, extends shelf life and inhibits microbial decay.

Modified Humidity (MH)

Minimizes condensation and microbial decay risk while releasing excess humidity through the specialized film.

WVTR (Water Vapor Transmission Rate)

Precise control of water vapor passage through packaging materials prevents both moisture trapping and excessive moisture loss.

Antifog Properties

Technology that ensures produce remains visible while preventing large water drops leading to microbial growth.

Tailor Made Packaging

Proprietary films with varying Modified Atmosphere (MA), Modified Humidity (MH), and Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR).
