Description

Recyclable packaging for mushrooms, bulk strawberries & blueberries

Attention automated fruit and vegetable packers: this 100% plastic-free biodegradable alternative to plastic clamshells offers a USA-made package your retail customers will love and happily pay more for.  They’ve already been tried and proven with cherry tomatoes, Campari tomatoes, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries. Mushroom growers especially like this size for packaging their yellow oyster, blue oyster, shiitake and lions mane mushrooms.

Their rigid design lets you stack them high at point-of-sale or protect them during CSA and wholesale deliveries. The earth-themed cut-outs allow good visibility from all angles and encourage air in and around the produce. These vents also help to minimize condensation from temperature transitions from the field to refrigeration and preserve the freshness of the product. For high volumes they are a much lower investment than top seal punnets: they can be machine assembled and sealed at speeds of ~100 cartons per minute and they fit master cartons. Even hand sealing has a tamper-proof, spillage-reducing option.  Plus they’re easy to recycle and will biodegrade quickly even in a backyard compost bin.

This 2 Quart size holds 2 pounds (32 ounces) of strawberries.
