Alemania: New type of potato and onion storage ticks all the boxes

"We developed the potato display box two years ago with a special construction which is hand erected. We deliver it flat to our customer, who can easily put it together, fill and seal it, and then send it off to their customers on pallets. Once the boxes are delivered to the trade or wholesalers, there is a small tray which opens up at the front lower half of the box, making it easy to use for the end customer. It is mostly used for potatoes and onions, but we do have a customer in France using the boxes for nuts as well." shared Frank Krier from BayPack Obst.

The box protects the products, by keeping them dry and dark, which also directly affects the shelf life, along with providing a neat and tidy storage solution for the end customer. Due to the re-closable design, customers can take as many potatoes or onions they need and then close the front flap to keep the vegetables in good condition until the next use.

"It can be offset printed with the customer’s design, but it is also possible to buy it from the supplies we have on site, but then it is only available in the German language. We currently supply these primarily to the German market, but we have sold them to the French and Belgian markets as well." said Frank.

Along with packaging for other industries, BayPack also makes small apple packs, boxes for cherries, cucumbers, asparagus and tomatoes, just to name a few.

"We have our own development department where customers can have us design packaging specifically to suit their individual needs. For example, they might want to distribute their new products in a new type of packaging, but might not have their own packaging machine and our products offer them a solution to create their own packaging by hand to distribute their product to the wholesaler." concluded Frank.
