Pear Packaging

Advanced Pear Packaging Protects Freshness for Weeks

Successful international shipping and long term storage of pears requires functional and sustainable packaging capable of preserving quality and freshness and reducing waste in the supply chain.

Xtend® bulk packaging solutions help maintain postharvest quality during prolonged storage and shipment, serving as both a cost-effective alternative to controlled atmosphere (CA) storage for small-scale operations and providing superior protection for long-distance shipments after storage. Advantages of this pear packaging over CA storage include improved fruit aroma, and the ability to maintain the modified atmosphere effect throughout the entire supply chain until packaging is opened for display.

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

Lean and sustainable, fully recyclable packaging of 25 μm gauge.

Built on Sustainable Innovation

Environmental responsibility is woven into our product design. Our pear packaging reduces plastic use, curbs food waste, and enables lower-emission transportation by supporting sea freight. Additionally, our packaging is designed to fit within a circular economy. We’re also certified by Redcert to incorporate BASF Ultramid® Ccycled®, a chemically recycled polyamide at 30% or more into its polyamide-based films. Typically, the emissions our packaging helps prevent exceed those generated throughout its lifecycle. Learn more about our environmental initiatives here.
