In order to ship summer produce like peaches, tomatoes, and berries safely, it’s important to partner with a packaging company that understands the unique needs of agricultural packaging.  Each crop requires special handling and unique packaging design in order to ensure food safety and minimize loss.

Produce Packaging Requirements

The following considerations are key to ensuring successful shipping from farm to store.

  • Ventilation: allows heat to escape and accelerate cooling
  • Protection: reduce loss through successful package design
  • Water Loss Reduction: maintain freshness by reducing the potential for water loss

The Benefits of Corrugated Fiberboard for Agricultural Products

The right packaging is crucial to successful delivery of agricultural goods. Corrugated fiberboard is a popular material for shipping fruits and vegetables. It’s versatile, cost effective, sustainable and can be branded and retail ready.
