Comments

Traditionally packed with ice in expanded styrofoam packs, broccoli requires a specific environment to protect its freshness and integrity. Amcor has developed a simple but effective high performance, more sustainable alternative to EPS foam. Made of white PET/paper functional laminate, this two-piece box incorporates an air gap for improved insulation, semi-leakproof inner and a quick assembly lid. The pack surface remains moisture and scuff resistant and can be printed to market requirements. The pack can handle direct ice packing which alleviates the need for a poly bag liner. The pack is also delivered flat - which brings supply and storage efficiencies - and flattens once more into a bale after use. The Chillfresh Pack is also recyclable through the current corrugated packaging recycling chain.
