Pepper Packaging

Maintain Peak Quality Through Storage and Transit

Major quality issues associated with prolonged storage of bell peppers include dehydration, shriveling, and calyx decay. Proper post-harvest handling combined with precisely engineered modified atmosphere/ modified humidity pepper packaging helps overcome these issues.

In the case of bell peppers, the use of high-water vapor transmission rate films for bulk packaging is key and helps remove excess moisture from the headspace, reducing the risk of microbial decay. Xtend® bulk packaging solutions are designed to slow down post-harvest deterioration and weight loss, while maintaining the natural appearance and texture of the peppers. The film effectively manages free moisture and creates a balanced environment that supports extended shelf life.
