SPS 'Air' - the breath of life in punnet design

SPS 'Air' is a breath of fresh air in packaging. The latest revolutionary soft fruit punnet breathes longer life into products. It will be unveiled on the Sharpak stand at Fruit Logistica in February.

Sharpak's reputation for leading edge innovation in design, materials technology and environmental credentials has combined to deliver a fresh produce punnet. SPS 'Air' is a new concept in packaging. The idea flows from the will to see fruit when bought as fresh as the day it was harvested  and still keeping fresh for as long as possible once purchased and refrigerated at home. 

The new soft fruit punnet offers significant air flow improvements over conventional punnets. The base allows for superior transpiration through lateral vents permitting the soft fruit to breathe more easily and therefore aiding fruit conservation. The vents are sloping at the base.

The vents will always be free for improved ventilation. And because the vents slope this allows for unimpeded airflow even when the punnets are stacked. Further there is no risk of debris entering the tray from punched holes
