This way the shrink of the outer layer of fruits is prevented, also the drying. It reduces the weight loss by 7-8%. Very practical is usage. Does not demand any special procedure for vaccumm or other gas.
2. Pallete Packaging technology Fresh Plus®, Modified Atmosphere MAP( MA / MH ) :
This technology FreshPlus® covers the entire pallete with the pallete bag using special instruction set.
In order for this technique to work properly the bag must not have any tears or holes. This type of packaging reduces the weight loss by 12-16% of the packaged products.

The machine injects automaticaly a special gas mix of CO2 to the packaging. This way the products are inside to environment of modified atmoshpere. It demand a special contruction and handling. Also demands a special machine. It is delicate to tearing and holes. Reduces the weight loss to 15-20%.
The productions of these products is made through a special procedure.
Available sizes of pallete bags:
- 1) 1,00 Χ 1,20 and 2 meters height. = 240 * 282 cm.
