As demand for pre-packaged fresh produce continues to rise, international fruit and vegetable producers are coming under increasing pressure from retailers worldwide to develop more efficient packaging solutions, which also improve storing quality and extend shelf-life.
Leading global provider of an extensive range of flexible packaging solutions, KM Packaging Services Ltd predicted this trend even before it surfaced and its position at the forefront of new product development has enabled it to provide some of the most innovative film lidding solutions for fresh produce in the world.
One of the most recent trends to emerge from the United States has been pre-prepared vegetables for the barbeque, which are packaged in a foil tray so it can be directly placed on the grill to cook. This type of product requires a high quality, perforated film lid, to allow the produce to continue to respire, extending shelf-life and ensuring food safety.
For this particular product, KM Packaging advised one of its North American based customers to use an invisible laser perforated lidding film, allowing the trays to be easily stacked, whilst enabling the oxygen to move through the film into the sealed tray to replenish the oxygen consumed by the respiring vegetables. The film also allows carbon dioxide to escape from the pack.
Without this gas transition the produce would degrade considerably shortening shelf-life resulting in costly product waste.
The film solution provided by KM Packaging not only has accurate and well positioned invisible laser perforations, designed exclusively for the product mix, but also has superior seal integrity, delivering ensuring maximum protection for the vegetables.
With packaging environments differing all over the world, each lidding solution needs to be tailored to match specific storage conditions, processing techniques and preparation methods. In the case of fresh produce it is also important to understand the varying respiration rates of different fruits and vegetables, as this affects the amount of gas transition needed and impacts the level of lidding perforation required for optimum storage results.
KM Packaging has extensive food industry experience and has worked with fruit and vegetable producers all over the world to develop the most effective packaging solutions. The company’s impressive unparalleled knowledge of this burgeoning sector means it only provides lidding films that are fit for purpose, guaranteeing the best solution for the job.
In order to be able to meet this guarantee and deliver reliable seal integrity, KM Packaging carries out dedicated product trials on behalf of its customers to ensure that the lidding film is not just compatible with the foil tray or plastic container but also has the desired permeability for the perforation system used.
