Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is the newest technology used in the packing and transportation of fresh fruits & vegetables to preserve product freshness and quality.

​

By helping to manage atmosphere and cold chain conditions for perishable products, we make sure your fruits, vegetables and herbs stay fresh for longer, increasing your product shelf life, as well giving you the opportunity to export your products to more distant markets, that were otherwise unavailable.

 

Our MAP bags can be used for over 35 different fruits, vegetables and herbs, at a range of sizes. Each of our products is custom engineered to optimize the respiration rate of the specific fruit, vegetable or herb, passively, with different O2, CO2 and vapour permeabilities.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging has a number of advantages over others:

• Both storage and shelf life are increased using MAP. (Find out more here)

• Seasonal gaps in harvest are bridged due to extended shelf life.

• Fresh flavour and nutritional value are preserved due to the innovation in technology.

• Decay and senescence of fresh produce are prevented due to the decrease in respiration rate.

• Logistical costs are decreased due to freight savings and the possibility of longer transit time.

• Supply Cycle waste in the form of time, costs or inventory is reduced due to the elimination of non-value added activities.

• Fresh produce is protected from biochemical, physiological and compositional changes.
