Melon Packaging

Transforming the Melon Market!

Successful international shipping of melons requires functional and sustainable packaging capable of preserving quality and freshness and reducing waste to a minimum.

StePacPPC has developed Xtend® bulk packaging solutions for different types of melons that preserve the quality during shipment to distant destinations, reduce the risk of microbial decay, and slow ripening by maintaining optimal humidity and modified atmosphere conditions.

Xtend® also provides companies receiving the melons in the packaging with more leeway, and they can store for longer and supply upon demand, knowing the melons will arrive to their customers in prime condition.
