Our paper-based, corrugated shippers and bulk bins can be shipped knocked-down for inbound trailer optimization and flattened and bundled at the retailer for recycling, helping to create efficiencies during transit. Their sanitary pulping process can also help minimize product spoilage, extending the life cycle of your fruits and vegetables.
Our paper-based packaging solutions, including baskets, carriers and punnets, have been thoughtfully designed for easy stacking, operational efficiencies and high-impact branding. By replacing plastic clamshells for popular produce such as snacking tomatoes, apples and mini cucumbers, our EverGrow® collection and other paper-based products help brands meet current consumer sustainability preferences.
Our automated solutions can help combat labor shortages and minimize food waste.
