Strawberry Packaging

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

Strawberries are non-climacteric fruits, harvested at full maturity that have a very short storage and shelf life on account of their high respiration rate. Challenges associated with prolonged storage and shelf life of strawberries include: rapid ripening and deterioration, postharvest disease, dehydration and browning of calyx.

StePacPPC modified atmosphere and modified humidity packaging solutions slow ripening, suppress postharvest disease and reduce dehydration, helping to preserve quality and extend shelf-life. Our modified atmosphere packaging solutions preserve quality throughout storage and shipment with proven results.
