Plastic Fruit Tray Box Containers | Freshness & Protection

Fruit tray boxes are hybrid packaging solutions combining the structure of a tray with the enclosure of a box, designed specifically for storing, transporting, and displaying fruits. These boxes typically feature a rigid tray base with raised edges to cradle fruits and prevent movement, paired with a hinged or removable lid that creates a protective enclosure. Made from lightweight yet durable plastics like PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or PP (polypropylene), they offer transparency to showcase fruits, allowing consumers to assess ripeness and quality, while providing physical protection against bruising or damage during handling. Many fruit tray boxes include ventilation holes in the base or lid to promote air circulation, which is crucial for maintaining freshness by reducing moisture buildup and preventing mold growth. They come in various sizes and configurations, from small boxes for berries or cherries to larger boxes for apples, pears, or citrus fruits, with some featuring compartments to separate individual fruits or different varieties. The lid may include a secure closure mechanism, such as snaps or tucks, to keep the box tightly sealed during transport. Fruit tray boxes are stackable, optimizing storage space in refrigerators, display cases, and delivery vehicles. Manufactured from food-grade materials, they are free from harmful chemicals, ensuring safety for direct contact with fruits. They are widely used in supermarkets, fruit stands, and for home storage, providing a convenient and effective solution for preserving fruit freshness and presentation.
