Asparagus Packaging Film and Liners

Tip decay, toughening and weight loss.

Asparagus
The problem

Asparagus is one of the fastest-respiring vegetables in the produce aisle. Spears keep growing after harvest, tips soften and decay, and the butt ends dry and turn woody. Long hauls from the field add up quickly.

StayFresh film is calibrated to this crop's respiration rate. It lets in just enough oxygen, lets CO2 and ethylene out, and holds humidity where the produce needs it. Packers see 30 to 40% longer shelf life in the cold chain, measured on their own line during the two-week test.
