Fresher Produce

Laser Perforated Film for Modified Atmosphere Packaging

[ 01 ]

Gas & Moisture Control

Our modified atmosphere packaging balances oxygen, carbon dioxide and moisture inside each bag to slow bacterial growth while keeping leafy greens crisp and appealing.

Anti-Fog Film Performance

We use clear, anti-fog films that keep condensation off the film surface, so shoppers see fresh, vibrant product without clouding or drip marks.

Life Span Innovation

Our technology helps extend the freshness window of leafy greens, supporting longer distribution cycles and reduced spoilage.

Moisture Barrier

Our flexible packaging provides a high-performance moisture barrier, preventing water loss and protecting greens from environmental humidity.

Why Laser Perforated Film?

Smaller, Cleaner Perforations

Laser perforated film has holes of about 200 to 400 microns, compared with about 700 to 1,500 microns for hot needle, with less film distortion.

Longer Shelf Life

About two additional weeks compared with hot needle perforated and laminated films, depending on the product.

Lower Cost

Less expensive than the laminated structures some packers use to manage freshness.

Done In-House

Most converters send perforation out, which adds cost and lead time. We print, perforate and slit under one roof.

Proven Specs for Fresh-Cut Produce

We hold proven perforation specs across common fresh-cut produce formats, from leafy greens to green beans. Every product gets its own laser perforation spec, matched to its MAP needs and package format, and confirmed with testing.

 

Our four independently positioned laser heads run one to four perforation lanes, with hole spacing as tight as 3 mm. Holes can run continuously, or, using an eyemark reader, land in the same spot on every bag with a set number of holes per bag. Perforation runs in line with slitting, and we can perforate printed, plain or customer-supplied film once we confirm it can reach the venting rate (OTR) your product needs.
