MAP Packaging Technology That Keeps Produce Fresher, Longer
Combining science and advanced materials to create cutting-edge modified atmosphere packaging solutions that maximize fresh produce shelf-life extension.
We develop and produce proprietary micro-perforated breathable films that create microclimate environments. Our hermetically sealed packaging regulates the gas composition of fresh produce, preserving freshness, extending shelf life, reducing cross-contamination, and enhancing food safety standards.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging
Reducing oxygen and elevating carbon dioxide to slow respiration, suppress ethylene, and inhibit spoilage microorganisms.
Postharvest Scientific Experience
Expert knowledge of biological processes in different produce types and their unique packaging requirements. Each MAP packaging technology product is provided with a detailed working protocol to maximize performance.
Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities
Custom-designed film structures for precise control of gas composition, moisture exchange and condensation in both fruits and vegetables. Functional, user-friendly solutions that meet customer expectations and market storage and shipment demands.
Moisture Control Where It Counts
Optimal respiration rates and humidity levels for different produce types.
Our broad, versatile range of sustainable MAP packaging technology solutions addresses the three major challenges facing the fresh produce industry: supply chain waste reduction, cost savings, and the support of a circular economy.
Modified Atmosphere (MA)
Precision respiration control that slows respiration, extends shelf life and inhibits microbial decay.
Modified Humidity (MH)
Minimizes condensation and microbial decay risk while releasing excess humidity through the specialized film.
WVTR (Water Vapor Transmission Rate)
Precise control of water vapor passage through packaging materials prevents both moisture trapping and excessive moisture loss.
Antifog Properties
Technology that ensures produce remains visible while preventing large water drops leading to microbial growth.
Tailor Made Packaging
Proprietary films with varying Modified Atmosphere (MA), Modified Humidity (MH), and Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR).
