Pack sizes
Which punnet holds 250 g of cherry tomatoes, grapes or strawberries?
Short answer
For 250 g, AVI's standard pack is the PNG 250 / 75: a hinged rPET clamshell, 128 × 94 × 75 mm, weighing 9 g, documented for cherry tomatoes, grapes and strawberries. For a lower, wider display pack choose PNG 350 / 52 (145 × 98 × 52 mm); for berries closed with a sealed film lid, the A-30 / 45 heat-seal punnet (7 g).

All packs are rPET. Figures from AVI's catalogue; tolerances and fill depend on the produce, so samples are the final check.
How to choose between them
- Hinged clamshell (PNG range): the lid is part of the pack and re-closes, so shoppers can open and close it in store. No sealing machine is needed on your line.
- Heat-seal punnet (A-30, TBT ranges): an open tray closed with film on a tray-sealing machine. Lighter for the same fill (7 g for A-30 / 45 against 9 g for PNG 250 / 75) and tamper-evident once sealed.
- Footprint: PNG 250 / 75 is taller and narrower; PNG 350 / 52 and PNG 600 / 51 are lower and wider, which shows more fruit on the shelf.
Fill weights depend on the variety and size of the fruit, so the last check is always a sample run with your own produce.
Related questions
Is a 250 g punnet the same for grapes and cherry tomatoes?
Often yes: PNG 250 / 75 is documented for both, as well as strawberries. Large grape bunches may need a taller or wider pack, which a sample run shows quickly.
Can I get the 250 g punnet with my own label or print?
The packs themselves are clear rPET; labels and printed lidding film are applied on your packing line. Ask AVI's team about custom shapes or embossing.
