Packaging Machines For Fresh Produce and Flowers
Fresh produce and floral shipments require protective packaging that is both cushioning and recyclable. Honeycomb paper made on our machines replaces plastic film in cartons and trays, reducing rejection by buyers who are phasing out plastic. The paper cushioning maintains product integrity during transit while meeting environmental standards.
What Goes Wrong Today
- Buyers of fresh produce and flowers are rejecting shipments with plastic film in the packaging
- Plastic cushioning adds weight and is not accepted in some markets or by retailers
- Manual packing with loose paper pads is inconsistent and slows down loading
- Cushioning that is too thin allows bruising or crushing during transport
- Paper rolls that vary in width or thickness cause jams or misfeeds on packing lines
What Buyers Need Instead
- A paper cushion that is strong enough to protect delicate fruits and flowers
- Consistent roll width and cell structure so the material feeds reliably in packing lines
- Recyclable packaging that meets buyer requirements for plastic-free shipments
- Machines that produce honeycomb paper in-line with existing packing operations
