Fresh Produce Packaging
Discover our industry-leading, innovative, and sustainable packaging designed to protect and showcase the vibrant colours of your fresh produce.
Our fresh produce punnets are crafted from recycled and 100% recyclable PET (rPET). These eco-friendly punnets can be recycled again into other plastic packaging, such as more fruit punnets, creating a sustainable closed loop.
The rPET material used in our fresh produce punnets, clamshells, and trays complies with AS 2070-1999 and EU No 10/2011 food contact regulations, ensuring the highest standards of safety and quality.
