Naturipe Farms Peel & Reseal Fresh Blueberry Packaging Named Impact Award Finalist

Salinas, CA –  Naturipe Farms new Peel and Reseal Fresh Blueberry tray has been named as a finalist for the Produce Marketing Association’s 2014 Impact Awards. 

Launched this past spring in two convenient sizes: 18 oz. and 2 pound; the tray offers retailers and consumers outstanding product freshness, a secure easy open and close tab and a 40% reduction in plastic.  The design satisfies many consumer trends and issues including sustainability, food safety, in-store safety and convenience.  “The design of our Peel and Reseal products required a complete systems approach and required adaptation of our traditional practices in order to incorporate a more sustainable consumer package” said Janis McIntosh, Marketing Manager, Naturipe Farms.  “Sustainable packaging is one of the key objectives of our “Cultivate with Care” program which brings focus to an array of sustainable practices that we do from field to the final customer.”

Winners of the Impact Awards will be announced at Newark, Del.-based PMA’s annual Fresh Summit convention in October. Be sure to visit Naturipe’s booth #3148 to learn more about this product.
