Packaging for Cucumbers

Advanced Modified Atmosphere/Modified Humidity Packaging Solutions for Shelf-Life Extension

Cucumbers are prone to weight loss, color change, reduced firmness, and microbial decay. Traditional packaging for cucumbers often falls short in addressing these issues, leading to increased waste and reduced profitability.

The secret to extending cucumber freshness lies in superior film technology, a precise combination of modified atmosphere, modified humidity, and condensation control.

Modified atmosphere will slow respiration, inhibit ethylene, reduce weight loss and help suppress microbial decay, but anybody that is familiar with cucumbers knows that excess moisture, even in a modified atmosphere bag will aggravate microbial decay. The films that we offer for cucumbers are characterized by relatively high water vapor transmission rates, which means they remove excess moisture, keeping the cucumbers dry and further reducing the risk of decay.

It’s like a time machine, cucumbers arrive at their destination as fresh as the day they were picked.
