Fruit Packaging — Start Here. Find the Right Box for Your Crop.
“Fruit packaging” is a broad term — a watermelon grower needs a box that supports 5–15 kg per fruit at 5–6 mm wall thickness. A cherry grower needs a small-format box with bruise protection for delicate fruit. A grape exporter needs a gift-box format with handles for retail display. A citrus packer needs ventilated walls for ethylene management. One material — PP corrugated — serves all of them, but the box design is crop-specific.
PPBOXY manufactures fruit packaging boxes at our Shandong facility in formats tuned to individual crop requirements: wall thickness (2–12 mm), ventilation pattern, drainage, internal dividers, box dimensions, and printing. All boxes are made from food-grade polypropylene (FDA 21 CFR 177.1520, EU EC 1935/2004).

الأسئلة الشائعة
Q: Which fruit packaging box should I choose?
The box depends on your fruit’s weight, shape, moisture content, and supply chain. Use the crop routing table above — each crop page includes full specifications, comparison tables, and crop-specific supply chain guidance.
Q: Are PP fruit boxes food-safe?
Yes. PPBOXY’s fruit packaging boxes are manufactured from virgin food-grade polypropylene compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 and EU Regulation EC 1935/2004. The box interior is unprinted, non-toxic, and odorless.
Q: Can the boxes be used for hydrocooling?
For crops requiring hydrocooling (e.g., asparagus), PP boxes with drainage holes are compatible — the box can be submerged with the produce and lifted out with zero structural degradation. For crops cooled by forced air or room cooling, standard PP boxes are sufficient. Check the individual crop page for crop-specific cooling guidance.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
We operate without a predetermined MOQ threshold. Our production process is built to support orders of varying scales, ranging from small trial quantities to high-volume commercial runs, allowing us to offer a flexible solution that matches your precise requirements.
