PEAKfresh continues to advance their technology with improved packaging that will keep produce fresh during long distance transportation. They saw 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. They have improved box liner products which will now keep high humidity levels and at the same time withstand temperature breaks without creating condensation.
Peakfresh is currently 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 ofor 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.
They have also starting 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.
With convenience in mind, 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. The shipment will arrive at their destinations in its harvested condition. Another benefit at arrival, 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.
PEAKfreshUSA will have technical experts on hand at the PMA Fresh Summit to help customers improve and adapt a method of packing using our PEAKfresh products.
