When it comes to shipping and storing food and beverage industry goods, suppliers are faced with the challenge of maintaining the freshness and quality of their products. One issue that must be taken into consideration is humidity and how it can damage these goods. Humidity poses a major threat to perishable goods, leading to spoilage, mold growth, valuable time wasted, and financial loss. At Peninsula Plastics, we aim to help mitigate these risks by producing humidity-resistant packaging. Our products ensure food remains fresh and safe throughout its journey from farm and warehouse to tables and stores.
At Peninsula Plastics, special attention is paid to the design of our packaging, especially when helping reduce the damaging effects of humidity. Our innovative humidity-resistant packaging has become a reliable solution for food and beverage supply chains. Perishable and non-perishable goods pass through various environments that expose them to moisture, which can accelerate the rate of deterioration. Fruits, vegetables, and other perishables are particularly susceptible to damp areas, which can lead to premature ripening, rotting, and loss of flavor and nutrients. For suppliers attempting to deliver fresh consumables to customers, it is important to ensure their products are shielded from excessive moisture.
High humidity levels create an ideal breeding ground for mold and bacteria. When food items encounter these wet conditions, they become vulnerable to contamination, posing serious health risks to consumers. These conditions are not suitable, so we manufacture packaging, like our 40” x 48” GMA Pallet, which is strategically designed to prevent these unwanted circumstances. With an antimicrobial design, the GMA Pallet helps prevent mold and bacteria from growing and affecting its contents. Food hygiene and protection are non-negotiable, so effective moisture-resistant packaging is a crucial defense against microbial growth and wasted goods.
Humidity can also cause issues for the well-being of the packaging itself. Cardboard boxes, wooden pallets, and other expendable packaging options are prone to warping, weakening, and disintegrating when exposed to moisture. This not only compromises the structural integrity of the packaging but also jeopardizes the condition and stability of the items contained within. Peninsula Plastics’ pallets are made from durable and recyclable high-density polyethylene (HDPE), where moisture does not have the same effect as it does with other packaging alternatives. By investing in sustainable humidity-resistant packaging solutions, suppliers can safeguard their products against potential damage, allowing for their products to arrive fresh and intact.
