International banana giant Chiquita has chosen Amcor P-Plus modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) technology from Amcor Flexibles for its value and fun-sized banana packs to be sold in UK multiple Tesco.
MAP technology tailors the gas permeability of the flexible film to extend the life of fresh produce by naturally creating a modified atmosphere. In this example, the technology allows an extra two days of shelf-life for the bananas over standard, non-MAP bags.
The specialised wicketted bags are produced from a recyclable material and an anti-mist system is utilised so that full visibility of the product is achieved. Bags are Amcor P-Plus treated and flexo-printed at Amcor Flexibles Ledbury in the UK.
