Using Amerplast’s fresh produce packaging to pack your crop, you can help consumers enjoy fruits and vegetables at their best. The important features of our fresh produce packaging are durability, breathability and product visibility, combined with good-looking print.

Like all our packaging, it offers many benefits. It ensures great runnability in your production and looks amazing. This makes your products stand out from the competition and become known for their freshness and stylish outlook.

Our multilayer polyethylene bags are ideal for potatoes and vegetables, such as carrots, beetroot, and other root crops. Thanks to their layered design, we can make our bags thinner than bags made from single-layer film. They also provide better mechanical strength.

These bags are easy to work with. You can run them smoothly on the latest packaging machines, whether semi-automatic or fully automatic. Manual packing is also possible.

We offer a wide range of high performance lidding films for fresh food packaging applications. They protect fresh food products, extend their shelf life and ensure smooth operation on packing lines.

Our V-folded film comes as an open-ended continuous tube. It simplifies your packing process as you can pack and seal on the same machine, also helping to keep costs low.
