Fresh mushroom retail packaging
Fresh button, oyster and assorted mushrooms need packaging selected around the actual produce, tray and distribution route. A clear overwrap can show the mushroom condition while a label identifies the variety and pack size. Keep fresh mushrooms and dried mushroom products on separate specifications.
- Size & capacity
- Record mushroom variety, net fill, tray footprint, tray depth and product clearance. Measure the complete loaded tray before setting film width, print repeat and overlap, and keep the label and any ventilation positions on the approved drawing.
- Material brief
- Ask the produce team to specify the film permeability and ventilation or perforation requirements for the intended chilled route. Review clarity, condensation and the complete tray-and-film combination with the responsible produce technologist; the retail photograph does not define the film construction.
- Artwork & print
- Keep the mushroom variety, pack size and variable packing information visible without obscuring the contents. Locate branding and labels clear of folds and specified ventilation areas, with artwork orientation checked on the filled tray.
- Packing & handling
- Trial the filled tray with the intended wrapping and distribution process. Review bruising, film contact, condensation, label position and ventilation through the planned chilled route before approving the pack for routine use.
