Customers today are most concerned with supplying fresh produce with longer shelf life. PEAKfresh is one of the pioneers of modified atmosphere products for the produce industry without the need of using CO2 gas. Our all natural minerals and permeable packaging extract the damaging gasses that shorten the shelf life of produce and vegetables therefore giving our customers a product that their buyers will be satisfied with and will help them decrease rejections.
At PEAKfresh we continue to advance our technology with improved packaging that will keep produce fresh during long distance transportation. We realized the need for products that will be able to withstand the breaks in cold chain, whether it’s the heat of summer or long lines at border crossings where inspections can be lengthy. Our new and improved box liner products will now keep high humidity levels and at the same time withstand temperature breaks without creating condensation.
We are also finalizing the testing of a sealed pallet cover system for the berry industry that will give the shippers an opportunity to transport their fruit across the country without the need of high concentrations of CO2 gas and large energy consuming equipment with the same or better results. Together with the natural minerals impregnated into the pallet bag, this new MAP system will rely on the CO2 that is naturally produced by the fruit to help its shelf life while extracting damaging ethylene. We are also now producing a PEAKfresh bubble pack pad that can be used for an assortment of products for clam-shell packing. Not only will it keep the product from bruising through its cushioning, it will increase its shelf life.
PEAKfresh products will always be easy to use. Our box liner bags only need to be folded over at the top for closure and our unsealed pallet covers can be used for a variety of commodities. Simply place the cover over the pre-cooled pallet and ship away. Your shipment will arrive at their destinations in its harvested condition. Another benefit at arrival, your customers will be able to pull the cover up for inspection and lower it back into place for even longer shelf life all the way through distribution.
Even though our PEAKfreshUSA website provides detailed commercial packing instructions showing ideal post harvest temperatures, packing methods, storage and transportation for each commodity, at the PMA you may visit with one of our technical experts to help you improve and adapt a method of packing using our PEAKfresh products.
