Other
Lids, edge protectors, and sleeve-tray combinations for specific packaging needs. Ask our packaging advisors about the possibilities.
Cardboard resistant to moisture, cold, and weight
Fresh produce packaging is subject to heavier loads than standard boxes. Cold stores, condensation, wet products, stacked pallets — the material must be able to handle it. We always advise on the type of cardboard that best suits your product and conditions.
Solid board
Solid cardboard sheet without a corrugated structure. The standard for fresh produce trays: rigid, compact, and excellent for printing. Available with moisture-resistant coating for use in refrigerated environments.
Corrugated cardboard with moisture-resistant coating
Single or double-wall corrugated cardboard with a special treatment that slows down moisture absorption. Used for cardboard fruit boxes deployed in humid environments or refrigerated rooms.
Double-wall corrugated cardboard (BC or EB-flute)
Two corrugated layers for maximum stacking strength. Essential for heavy products such as potatoes or root crops stacked on pallets.

Fruit and vegetables in high-quality cardboard stay fresh for an average of 3 days longer than in plastic packaging (source: University of Bologna). Cardboard regulates moisture better, reduces the risk of microbiological contamination, and lowers food waste. A sustainable choice that also pays off commercially.
Sustainable and fully recyclable cardboard is the norm
All our cardboard is recyclable and available with FSC certification. Cardboard fresh produce packaging is a more sustainable alternative to wooden crates and plastic trays and is increasingly requested by retailers.
A printed tray or fruit box does more than just protect. In the shop and at the market, the packaging is your brand carrier — visible to the end consumer at the moment of purchase.
Flexographic printing
The most commonly used printing technique for fresh produce packaging in large volumes. Cost-efficient, suitable for moisture-resistant cardboard, and fast to produce.
Offset printing
For sharper images and more intense colors in medium-sized runs. Ideal for premium fresh produce brands that want to stand out on the shelf with their packaging.
Digital printing
For smaller runs or seasonal variants without plate costs. Quickly realized for changing designs or promotional packaging.
Finishing options:
Moisture-resistant lacquers and varnishes that protect the printing in refrigerated environments. Available in matte or gloss.

Frequently asked questions about Fresh produce packaging
Which type of cardboard is best for fresh produce packaging?
For fresh produce trays, we prefer to use corrugated cardboard (N-flute) — rigid, compact, and excellent for printing. For fruit boxes used in humid environments, we recommend corrugated cardboard with a moisture-resistant PE coating or solid board. We always advise on the most suitable material based on your product and environment.
Is cardboard fresh produce packaging moisture-resistant?
Yes, we supply cardboard with moisture-resistant coatings or with kraftliner, which is more moisture-repellent. These can handle condensation and humid conditions in cold stores. The level of protection depends on the coating — we will advise you on which variant is suitable for your application.
Are cardboard fruit boxes a good alternative to wooden crates?
Yes. Cardboard fruit boxes are lighter, fully recyclable, and easier to print on than wooden crates. They are being used by more and more retailers and exporters as a more sustainable alternative. We supply them in single and double-wall corrugated cardboard, with or without ventilation holes.
Can I have fresh produce packaging printed?
Yes, all fresh produce packaging can be printed. Flexographic or offset printing is the most commonly used technique for large volumes. For smaller runs or seasonal variants, digital printing is the most flexible choice. We advise on the technique that suits your volume and quality requirements.
What is the minimum order quantity for fresh produce packaging?
We deliver from 1 pallet. The minimum quantity depends on the product and the printing technique. Please contact us for a quote tailored to your volume and situation.
