In the world of agricultural exports, freshness isn’t just a preference, it’s a promise. At Freshly Picked, we understand the delicate journey that fresh produce takes from field to fork, and we place a premium on innovative packaging to preserve its quality. Whether it’s the tangy taste of Assam lemon, the vibrant colour of pomegranate or the earthy aroma of ginger, our packaging solutions ensure every product arrives the way nature intended – fresh and healthy.
The Important Role of Packaging
Fruits and vegetables are living, breathing products, even after they are harvested. If not properly packed, they can easily spoil due to moisture loss, temperature fluctuations, mechanical damage and microbial growth. Effective packaging creates a protective barrier while maintaining an optimal environment for freshness. Here’s how we achieve this:
1. Breathable yet protective materials
We use materials that balance breathability and protection. Micro-perforated films allow the product to “breathe”, reducing excess moisture that can cause spoilage, while protecting it from external contaminants and mechanical shocks during transport.
2. Temperature-Controlled Packaging
Temperature is a key factor in maintaining freshness. Our packaging is designed to complement cold chain logistics, ensuring your products are kept at the ideal temperature during transport. This prevents premature ripening and wilting and preserves nutrients and flavour.
3. Sustainable Solutions
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our packaging materials are environmentally friendly and biodegradable. They comply with global environmental standards and offer high quality protection for our products.
4. Special packaging for specific products
Each product has individual requirements. For example: Ginger: needs moisture-proof packaging to maintain its natural structure and prevent it from drying out. Pomegranate: needs padding to prevent pressure points whilst air circulation needs to be maintained to prevent mould growth. Assam Lemon: Ask for humidity-controlled packaging to prevent drying out or too much moisture.
5. Traceability Features
Our innovative packaging with QR code ensures transparency and traceability. Customers can scan the QR code to know how their product travels from farm to fork. This creates trust and highlights our commitment to quality.
The Actual Packaging Process
At Freshly Picked, we believe that packaging is not just about preserving, it’s about delivering an experience. When customers open a box of our products, they get a taste of real farm, enriched by care, sustainability and innovation. Investing in advanced packaging solutions ensures that our products are as perfect as their origins. Because for us, freshness is a guarantee, not a promise. After harvesting, our products undergo a careful cleaning and sorting process. After ensuring compliance with international quality standards, the products are packed in customized packaging using state-of-the-art sealing and labelling technology, a process that takes place in a hygienic environment to maintain the highest standards of food safety.

From the busy markets of the UAE to the discerning palates of the world, our packaging ensures that the essence of freshness is preserved in every delivery. Combined with a robust logistics network and cold chain infrastructure, our products reach their destination in the best condition, delighting customers all over the world. Commitment beyond freshness
