extends the shelf life of produce

In Stock

Food packaging plays an integral role in reducing food waste. Micro- and macro- perforations are used in packaging for perishable food products and are used with the aim of extending shelf life and improving moisture retention of the produce.

All produce has different requirements for shelf-life extension. Integrated Packaging’s experienced technical team study the needs, shelf life and what the packaging is going to be used for in each case. The perforations are made during the manufacturing process, and do not affect the packaging’s recyclability in any way.

Micro Perforation

As produce ripens, moisture accumulates within the packaging. Micro perforation allows breathability and the air inside to circulate, enhancing the product’s freshness and shelf-life and reducing food waste. We have standard perforation patterns available to suit produce, with custom perforation patterns also available.

Hole Size

The holes are made by a series of pins. Normally they are 1-2mm in size and are made in banks of holes.

Produce Suitability

Micro-perforation is most often used in packaging for fresh bakery products and pies. It is also commonly used to pack cereals, dry pastas, loose pulses and vegetable products.

Benefits

Micro-perforations allow surplus moisture to escape, which can provide a shelf-life extension to the product. If vegetables or cereals can be kept fresher for longer, vendors can display products with less wastage and consumers can store them for longer.

 

Macro Perforation

Integrated Packaging’s macro perforation enhances customers’ product freshness and shelf-life by allowing produce to breathe. We have standard perforation patterns available to suit most fresh fruit and vegetable products, with custom perforation patterns customisable to your product requirements.

Hole Size

The holes are made by mechanically punching holes through the film. The punched holes can be a range of sizes. 3mm, 6mm, 8mm or 10mm

Produce Suitability

Macro perforation is widely found on materials used for packaging fresh fruit and vegetable products including films and bags. It is used mostly for packaging produce that doesn’t require shelf-life extension e.g. potatoes, carrots etc.

Benefits

Macro holes allow for produce to breathe ensuring that food is both protected and preserved with greater efficiency throughout distribution and retail display.

Macro-perforation packaging offers similar benefits as those offered by micro-perforated food packaging including allowing minimal moisture to build up.
