Fresh Produce Packaging Categories
Six fresh produce categories served from one PET and rPET packaging range. Each category page lists stock models, sizes and customization options.
Fresh-Cut Produce Packaging
Cups, trays and platters for fresh-cut programs.
Fruit Packaging
Fruit punnets, clamshells and trays for whole fruit and stone fruit programs, from single-serve punnets to 2 lb and 3 lb clamshells. Ventilation, cavity formats and label areas are matched to the fruit type and pack weight.
Berry Packaging
Blueberry and strawberry punnets with ventilated lids and bases for pre-cooling and chilled display, plus punnet formats that also suit raspberry and blackberry programs. Stock molds cover common pack weights from 4.4 oz to 1 lb and larger.
Grape Packaging
Grape clamshells and grape punnets in 1 lb, 2 lb and 3 lb sizes with open or vented structures matched to table grape varieties and retail display requirements. Labeling support keeps grape packs consistent across seasons.
Vegetable Packaging
Vegetable trays and containers with ridged or corrugated bases for strength, sized for standard vegetable packs and film-wrapped retail programs. Clear PET keeps produce visible and protects it through transport and display.
Fresh-Cut Produce Packaging
Fresh-cut fruit and vegetable containers for supermarket and convenience store programs: fruit cups, round trays, square platters, compartment packs and shallow containers with flat or dome lids for chilled display.
PET & rPET Packaging for Fresh Produce
PET provides the clarity, stiffness and food-contact safety that fresh produce packs rely on, and rPET puts recycled content into the same formats for programs with recycled-content targets. Both materials are formed on the same production lines, with EU and FDA food-contact documentation available.
- Clear Product VisibilityClear PET keeps fresh produce visible on shelf and easy to inspect during packing and quality checks.
- Ventilation OptionsVentilated lids and bases support pre-cooling and airflow in chilled supply chains, with non-ventilated structures for formats that need a closed pack.
- Multiple Packaging FormatsPunnets, clamshells, trays and cups are formed on the same production lines for mixed-format seasonal programs.
Punnets, Clamshells and Produce Trays
Punnets, clamshells and produce trays are the three workhorse formats of fresh produce packaging. StlPak runs them all on shared thermoforming capacity, so mixed-format programs can be supplied from one partner with coordinated delivery windows.
Punnets
Punnets for berries, cherry tomatoes and small produce, with ventilated or closed lids matched to pack weight and cooling needs.
Clamshells
Clamshells for grapes, berries and whole fruit retail packs, in 1 lb, 2 lb and 3 lb formats with label areas and open or vented structures.
Produce Trays
Trays for vegetables, mushrooms and tomatoes, with ridged or corrugated bases for strength and clear PET visibility.
