The system BrimaFilm AF and the packaging machine VePack 200P series, by BrimaPack, allows a shelf life extension of 5 to 6 days for broccoli, compared to conventional types of packaging. This type of packaging, already used all over Europe, was further developed for the flat white cabbage variety. The result is a shelf life of the cabbage extended with weeks.
The BrimaFilm AF has been exclusively developed to increase the shelf life of broccoli and other brassicas such as cauliflower and cabbage. The extension of the shelf life is reached in a natural way by creating an optimal atmosphere for storage and display. The anti-fogging characteristics and packing design further enhances the fresh produce image, which all together increases sales and reduces the amount of waste. The film is optimized for broccoli, cabbage, … without expensive perforation, without adding any chemicals or gasses and without substances applied in the film in order to absorb ethylene gas released from the product.
