Vegetables and fruits, fresh herbs

Key properties of fresh produce packaging

Anti-fog effect. A special anti-fog treatment on the inner surface of the film prevents condensation formation. This is especially important when storing and transporting products within the cold chain. The transparent surface of the bag provides the customer with a clear view of the contents even during temperature fluctuations.

High optical properties. The film has excellent clarity and gloss, emphasizing the freshness and natural appearance of vegetables and fruits, contributing to a positive perception of the product on the store shelf.
Protection from external factors. Packaging materials have barrier properties that limit the penetration of moisture, dust, odors, and oxygen, extending the product’s shelf life and preventing spoilage.
Strength and elasticity. The packaging is resistant to punctures and tears, which is especially important for packing vegetables with a firm structure (such as carrots or beets), as well as for transporting delicate fresh greens that are easily damaged.

Packaging options

Perforated bags — allow air circulation, preventing moisture buildup.
Flow-pack films — for high-speed automatic packaging lines.
Pre-formed zipper bags — convenient for multiple openings/closings.
Laminations with CPP, BOPP, PET, LDPE — depending on the type of product and the required barrier properties.

Aesthetics and branding

Printing on film is done using the flexographic method, enabling vibrant designs that highlight product freshness and display information about the producer, certifications, or expiration dates. High-quality printing on transparent or semi-transparent film looks stylish and appealing.

Packaging for vegetables, fruits, and greens is not just a protective barrier — it’s an effective tool for extending shelf life, improving logistics, and boosting sales. High-quality film with an anti-fog effect and excellent optical characteristics ensures that the product reaches the end consumer in the best possible condition.

Packaging for salad and fresh greens

Packaging for salad and greens: flow-pack solutions from ITAK

ITAK's salad packaging guarantees that the product stays fresh. It is made with clear perforated film with an anti-fog coating that prevents condensation and shows off the quality of the greens. Special microperforation ensures optimal gas exchange, preventing leaf spoilage.

Flow-packs for salads are the most cost-effective and efficient packaging method: ITAK's flow-packs for greens are adapted for automatic packaging lines. Sealed seams protect the product from mechanical damage.

Arugula packaging protects delicate greens from premature wilting and adverse environmental conditions. ITAK's flow-packs for arugula have specially selected perforations to maintain the microclimate inside the package.

ITAK salad bags are available in various sizes. Salad bags are made of transparent film, which can be printed on at the customer's request.

The Ukrainian company ITAK, with over 34 years of experience, manufactures salad packaging using state-of-the-art certified equipment. We invite farms, greenhouse complexes, and salad mix producers throughout Ukraine and Europe to cooperate with us.

Freshness of herbs and salads is ensured by a combination of anti-fog coating, micro-perforation and controlled gas exchange: anti-fog prevents condensation droplets (the pack stays clear, lower mould risk), while micro-perforation regulates CO₂ release and oxygen intake so the product keeps “breathing” after packing. With the right film, shelf life increases by 30–100 % versus ordinary film — on average by 2–5 days depending on the salad type.

Formats: Flow-pack, conical (trapezoidal) bag, and bag with a clear window. An additional option is perforation for the ‘breathing’ of vegetables and fruit. Besides herbs and salads, ITAK also packs vegetables (for example, carrots).

✔ How much longer does the product last?

⭐ On average 2–5 days depending on the salad type, which can mean up to +30–100 % of shelf life versus ordinary film.

✔ What packaging formats do you offer?

⭐ Flow-pack, a conical (trapezoidal) bag and a bag with a clear window.

✔ Do you pack vegetables, not only herbs?
