What packaging is used for dry fruits and nuts?
Short answer
Retail dry fruits and nuts are packed in clear hinged containers that close firmly and show the product; gift packs use compartment trays. AVI's rPET options include the AT 350 range (AT 350 / 240 to AT 350 / 530), single-serve AT 114 cups, and compartment packs with 2, 3 or 4 sections (AT 500/500 2CP, AT 500/500 3CP, AT 1800/800 4CP).

Choosing a pack
- Everyday retail: AT 350 hinged containers in four heights on one 145 × 100 mm footprint.
- Single-serve and on-the-go: AT 114 cups with lids.
- Gifting and mixed packs: 2, 3 and 4-compartment containers, so each kind stays separate.
Keeping them fresh
Dry fruits and nuts mostly need protection from moisture and air. A firmly closing container works for weeks on a shelf; for export or long storage, add a sealed liner, a heat-sealed lidding film or a barrier pack.
Related questions
Which pack suits wedding and festival gift boxes?
A compartment tray such as the 4-section AT 1800/800 4CP keeps almonds, cashews, raisins and dates apart and looks good through a clear lid.
Do nuts need a barrier pack?
For long shelf life, oily nuts are often sealed in a high-barrier film or tray to keep out oxygen and moisture. Ask AVI's team about barrier options.
