Snow Pea/Sugar Snap Pea Packaging

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

Snow peas and sugar snap peas are highly perishable vegetables that face significant postharvest challenges. Their delicate structure and high respiration rate make them prone to rapid quality deterioration. Common issues include excessive moisture loss leading to pod dehydration and shriveling, yellowing, loss of crispness and sweet flavor, and microbial decay. Pea packaging is essential to 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 pea packaging options enhance consumer experience by preserving quality and broadening the window for consumption.

Pea Packaging That Supports a Healthier Planet

Our commitment to sustainability is woven into every product we offer. Our packaging reduces food loss and enables longer transport windows, allowing customers to shift from air to sea freight. This results in a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, making global produce supply chains more sustainable. We also offer recyclable and recycled-content materials to support a circular economy and help you meet your environmental goals. 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, our packaging prevents more emissions than it generates in its entire lifecycle. Learn more about our sustainability initiatives here.
