Advanced Modified Atmosphere/Modified Humidity Packaging Solutions for Shelf-Life Extension
StePacPPC offers sustainable modified atmosphere packaging solutions for bananas in both bulk and retail formats. The packaging inhibits self-ripening during prolonged shipment and slows ripening once triggered, thereby providing more flexibility during subsequent distribution and shelf life and helping reduce waste by expanding the window for consumption.
Xtend® bulk packaging solutions help prevent self-ripening of bananas during storage and shipment to distant destinations. Bananas can be ripened through the sealed bag without the need to open them. Ripening is slowed, providing more flexibility during subsequent distribution.
Xgo™ retail preformed bags can be used for pre- or post-ripened bananas. Pre-ripened bananas can be ripened in the sealed bags. Ripening is slowed, providing more flexibility during distribution and reducing waste during subsequent shelf life at both the point of sale and the consumer’s home. This is a high clarity film, which can be printed, and nicely displays the packed bananas, making them more attractive to potential consumers.
