Green Onion Bags

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

Green onions are highly perishable vegetables with a very limited postharvest life. Their high surface area to volume ratio makes them extremely susceptible to rapid moisture loss, leading to wilting and loss of crispness. Additional challenges include yellowing of the green tops, curvature, telescopic growth (where inner leaves extend beyond outer leaves), and microbial decay, particularly at the white base and root area. Effective green onion bags and other flow-pack packaging can address these challenges.

StePacPPC modified atmosphere/modified humidity packaging solutions preserve fresh quality by naturally creating an environment inside the closed packaging that slows respiration, inhibits ethylene and suppresses microbial decay. High-water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) films are available to help release excess moisture which also assists in reducing the risk of microbial decay.

We have developed a broad range of packaging formats to meet the needs of different markets and customers, including Xflow™ — a patented bulk flow-pack solution — Xtend® preformed bulk packaging and Xgo™ retail packaging. Our green onion bags and flow-pack solutions enhance consumer experience by preserving quality and broadening the window for consumption.
