Produce Containers FAQs
What types of produce containers are available?
Good Start Packaging offers a variety of produce containers, including clear PLA clamshell containers, corrugated and paper produce boxes and compostable produce bags, all designed to suit different produce types and handling or display needs.
What are the benefits of PLA clamshell containers?
PLA clamshells are compostable and made with renewable plant-based materials, providing an environmentally responsible alternative to petroleum plastic. They help reduce landfill waste while offering sturdy protection for delicate produce.
Why choose clear clamshell containers for produce?
Clear clamshells allow full visibility of the produce, boosting customer appeal, while offering excellent protection during handling and transit. Produce like lettuce and microgreens are ideal for unvented clamshells. Things like fruits & berries benefit from a vented container.
Are any produce containers compostable or eco-friendly?
Yes, Good Start Packaging sells options like recyclable paper and compostable PLA containers, which are both much better than petroleum plastic. These align with the growing demand for sustainable packaging and have strong appeal to many end users.
What should brands consider when selecting produce packaging?
Key factors include sustainability, shelf-life performance, customer appeal, and regulatory compliance for food contact safety and labeling standards. Type of produce will also greatly impact which packaging will work best for you.
Do any regulations affect produce packaging choices?
Yes, packaging materials must comply with the FDA’s Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (for food contact safety), the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (for accurate labeling), and, when exporting, USDA phytosanitary or organic labeling requirements.
