The advantage of macroperforated film in fresh fruit and vegetable packaging
Fruits, vegetables, and fresh produce require highly protective packaging that maintains their freshness and quality during transport and distribution. To ensure optimal preservation, it is essential to use specific packaging that will preserve and extend the shelf-life of these delicate foods. In this context, macroperforated film proves to be one of the most effective tools for improving preservation.
Why is macroperforated film ideal for fresh produce storage?
Macro-perforated film is a plastic film with specially designed holes that allow fruits and vegetables to breathe. These holes facilitate the release of moisture naturally produced by the products, preventing the formation of condensation that could compromise the quality and appearance of the food. Thanks to its breathability, the film preserves the integrity of the food, maintaining its freshness, flavor, and texture during transportation and storage.
Perforated macro film is crucial in slowing down spoilage, reducing waste and prolonging product shelf life. At the same time, it protects it from external agents such as dust, moisture, light and heat, representing an indispensable tool in large-scale distribution and retailing.
What are the applications of Macro-perforated Film?
Macro-perforated film is perfect for use on different types of packaging, such as plastic containers and pouch packaging. Rigid packaging systems, such as wooden crates for large-scale distribution, can also be covered with macro-perforated films to enhance product preservation and highlight the brand. By optimizing moisture management, products arrive fresh and intact at their destination, reducing food waste and improving logistical efficiency.
In addition to its protective function, another advantage of applying macroperforated film on packaging systems is its personalization. In fact, the film makes it possible to add the company's logo, product information and branding even on rigid packaging such as containers and crates.
