Plastic Fruit Punnets & Trays
AVI Global services the world’s fruit & vegetable sector with the broadest range of rPET punnets and trays marketed under the brand name Prime. Our pack offerings ensure optimal shelf-life, transit safety, shelf-appeal and verified sustainability, to help our partners stand out and stay loved.
Prioritizing long-term customer relationships built on trust and cooperation, our punnet designs help in preserving freshness for packers, delivering superior shelf-appeal for retailers while creating convenience for end-consumers.
Fresh produce packaging must perform reliably across the supply chain, especially when handling delicate fruits such as berries, grapes, and cut produce. Structural strength, ventilation, and material consistency play a critical role in maintaining product integrity during transport and retail display. Compared to alternatives like cardboard punnets, rPET packaging offers improved moisture resistance, better visibility, and more consistent performance under varying storage conditions.

Preserve Freshness with Fresh Ideas
From farmers to families, we do our best to keep your produce well-protected throughout its distribution and sale. With design thinking, we innovate on new ways to extend shelf-life, enhance pack functionality and optimize material use, without compromising on performance, robustness and machine compatibility.
Extending shelf life is not only a design challenge but also a material and processing consideration. Controlled airflow, uniform wall thickness, and stable material properties help reduce condensation and mechanical damage. This ensures fresh produce remains protected throughout handling, storage, and distribution without increasing packaging waste.

Dive Deeper in Sustainability
Ocean-bound Plastic or OBP is plastic waste located within 50 km from shorelines at risk of ending up in oceans, threatening marine lives and ecosystems. AVI helps its partners double their sustainability impact by choosing rPET punnets designed with OBP certified by Control Union & Zero Plastic Oceans. Join us in protecting Life Below Water and raising consumer awareness.
Integrating ocean-bound plastic into packaging systems requires strict material control and verification to ensure consistent performance. When processed correctly, these recycled materials can be used in high-quality packaging without compromising strength, clarity, or food-contact compliance.
Impact Waste Worker Livelihoods
Globally, nearly 60% of plastic recycling is carried out by informal workers, working in unsafe conditions without necessary benefits. AVI actively supports responsible sourcing, fair payments, no child labour, conducive working conditions and health benefits to waste-workers in our supply-chain.

FAQs
Why are thermoformed punnets used for fresh produce packaging?
Thermoformed PET punnets are widely used for fresh produce packaging because they provide structural protection, ventilation, and consistent pack formats. They help reduce product damage while improving shelf presentation for retail.
How do ventilated punnets help extend shelf life of fruits?
Ventilated punnets allow airflow around the produce, helping remove excess heat and moisture. This improves cooling efficiency and supports freshness in products like berries, grapes, and cherry tomatoes.
How do thermoformed trays improve packing operations?
Thermoformed trays are produced with precise dimensions, allowing faster packing, uniform stacking, and stable pallet loads. This improves efficiency in packhouses and reduces transit damage.
Are rPET punnets sustainable packaging solutions?
Yes. rPET punnets reduce dependence on virgin plastic and remain recyclable within PET recycling streams. When designed correctly, they support circular packaging systems in fresh produce supply chains.
Can punnets be customized for different fruits?
Yes. Thermoformed punnets can be customised in size, depth, vent design, and sealing format to suit different fruits, pack weights, and export requirements.
