StePacPPC is introducing triple-function produce packaging through its Xgo PAZ Pouch, designed to preserve moisture-sensitive fruits and vegetables during storage and transportation. The resealable packaging combines atmospheric regulation, humidity management, and condensation prevention within a single flexible film. Its specialized structure helps cucumbers retain their crispness, color, and quality for up to 16 days. Wholesum Family Farms has adopted the technology for its Lil' Ones Organic Baby Cucumbers, packaged in portable eight-ounce pouches. The packaging is also being used for exotic fruits, including lychee and rambutan.
The development offers produce suppliers and retailers a way to address spoilage while improving product presentation. By managing excess moisture without sacrificing freshness, the pouches can help reduce food waste and associated costs. Their adaptable film properties also support different produce varieties, creating broader opportunities across fresh food packaging.
