Fruit and vegetable packaging: the advantages of heat-shrink wrapping

2019-02-26

The best packaging method of fruit and vegetables is with a heat-shrinking film, that is a protective film that shrinks when it is heated by the packaging machine. In this way the film adheres effectively to the product to be packed.

What are the benefits of heat-shrink packaging? The most immediate benefits are lower costs than other types of packaging and reduced consumption. But do not underestimate the aesthetic reasons, which are particularly important in direct sales of fruit and vegetables to the consumer.

The aesthetic aspect of fruit and vegetable packaging

The most visible advantage of heat-shrink packaging is the possibility of creating aesthetically pleasing packages, ideal to be displayed in a showcase. Aesthetics are counterbalanced by the need for product freshness: the choice of heat-shrink wrapping is particularly suitable when you want to achieve a product that is pleasant to look at, without any particular storage requirements.

The heat-shrink packaging is therefore ideal for trays and packs of fruit and vegetable to be displayed on the counter or stored in refrigerator cabinets. The result is a safe and beautiful product to look at.
