Export Packaging & Handling Standards for Fruits and Vegetables

Introduction
Export packaging does more than hold produce—it controls airflow, moisture, and protection during long journeys. The right materials reduce bruising and maintain appearance grades.

Why Packaging Standards Matter

  • Commodity-fit cartons – strength ratings and vent patterns tailored to product respiration.

  • Inner protection – liners, pads, or MAP bags manage humidity and reduce mechanical damage.

  • Palletization – standardized footprints, corner boards, and stretch-wrap stabilize loads for reefer handling.

Challenges in Packaging & Handling
Common issues include over-stacking, non-vented cartons, mixed grades in one box, and inconsistent pallet heights, leading to pressure damage and uneven cooling.

Our Commitment
We specify export-grade cartons, use food-safe inks, print clear handling icons, and follow QA checklists for packing density and pallet patterns. Each lot is photographed and recorded before stuffing.

Conclusion
Strong, well-ventilated packaging and disciplined handling protect quality—and your brand—throughout the export chain.
