Supply chain position

From Harvest to Retail-Ready Packaging

StlPak supports the point where sorted loose fruit moves from reusable field handling into consistent retail-ready PET packs.

01

Harvest

Fruit is harvested from the farm or orchard.

02

Field Crates

Fruit is collected into reusable PP crates, lugs or harvest bins.

03

Sorting & Grading

Packhouses inspect, sort and grade fruit by quality and size.

04

PET Packing

Fruit is filled into PET punnets, clamshells or trays.

This is where StlPak fits into your operation.

05

Label & Case Packing

Retail packs are labelled, packed into master cartons and prepared for shipment.

06

Distribution

Finished packs move to exporters, distributors, supermarkets and retail channels.

Repeatable line performance

Built for Packing Line Consistency

For a packhouse or production manager, the container needs to run consistently through feeding, filling, closing, labelling and case packing.

Consistent Dimensions

Stable dimensions support smoother feeding, filling, closing and case packing.

Reliable Denesting

Stacked packs should separate consistently during automatic or manual feeding.

Stable Lid Closure

Clamshell hinges and locking points need to remain consistent across batches.

Forming Consistency

Stable pack weight and thermoforming quality support repeatable performance.

Ventilation

Vent patterns can support cooling, airflow and produce handling requirements.

Label Area

Stable flat surfaces make manual or automatic label application easier.
