Cherry Pouch Packaging

Softening and stem browning in transit.

Stone fruit and cherries
The problem

Cherries lose stem color and firmness on long hauls and export lanes. Peaches, nectarines and plums keep softening after harvest, and bruise once they do.

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.
