Breathable pillow pouch

The breathable pillow pouch offers a transparent solution for packing washed, peeled and cut vegetables and fruit. For these products, the choice of packaging material requires special attention, because fresh produce continues to respire after processing. It is worth choosing the pouch according to the specific produce, the portion and the storage conditions. The flat pillow format is used to create smaller pack sizes displayed lying flat.

Material selection matched to the produce

With a breathable design, the relationship between the gas permeability of the material and the respiration of the product comes to the fore. A whole plant product may have different requirements from a cut one, and the quantity going into the pouch also matters. During selection, we therefore agree precisely which vegetable or fruit is packed, after what preparation and at what temperature it is handled. The name breathable pouch indicates a field of application; proper performance can only be judged by examining the specific product and the entire packaging process together.

Transparent packaging for prepared produce

A clean, clear appearance lets the buyer see how the produce has been cut, the size of the pieces and how the pack is made up. With mixed contents, the proportion and position of the ingredients are also part of the appearance. The pouch size should be designed so that the contents remain orderly and filling does not cause tension at the seals. The condition of the product after washing, surface moisture and the operations from preparation to sealing must also be coordinated. The packaging fits into the existing preparation and storage regime.

Three-side sealed pillow format

This pouch is a three-side sealed version without a gusset. We recommend it for products stored and displayed lying flat, in smaller portions where resealing with a press-to-close closure is not needed. When designing, it is worth thinking through how the entire pack size will be used: how much the buyer takes out at once and how the pack goes onto the shelf or into the outer carton. The seal area must remain free after filling. Pieces of produce or moisture in the seal area can interfere with even sealing, so we adjust the fill height accordingly.

Checking the finished pack

The appearance and performance of the pack must be assessed with the actual produce. The storage temperature, the fill weight and the internal space of the pack together affect the conditions that develop inside. If a product variant or pack size changes, it is also worth reviewing the material selection. By printing a custom logo and artwork, the pouch can be adapted to the brand. We design the transparent surface showing the product and the position of the storage and usage information so that both are easy to follow on the finished pack.

To discuss the breathable pillow pouch, please give us the exact name of the produce, the preparation method and the planned portion. We adapt the size and packaging design to these, so that the pouch plays a well-considered role in both presenting and handling the fresh produce every day.
