Long-term storage and shipment of cherries requires attractive, functional and sustainable packaging that preserves quality. Our cherry packaging solutions are designed to do just that!
Cherries face a delicate journey from packing house to consumer. They are susceptible to quality loss during long-term storage and lengthy supply chains. Major quality issues include weight loss, accelerated aging, stem browning, microbial decay, and pitting. These factors can dramatically reduce the saleability and value of the cherries.
Our modified atmosphere packaging solutions are scientifically engineered to preserve freshness, maintain appearance, and extend shelf life throughout storage and shipment with proven, consistent results.

Our advanced packaging technology combines modified atmosphere and humidity control, effectively slowing down the respiration rate, reducing weight loss, and suppressing microbial decay of cherries. We offer unique film structures with tailored water vapor transmission rates (WVTR) that deliver unparalleled condensation control and moisture management for better product visibility and mitigation of microbial decay.
