Fruit Protection Sleeve

Description

Our Fruit Protection Sleeve is manufactured from high-quality expanded polyethylene (EPE) foam, designed to wrap individually around fruits for targeted cushioning. The closed-cell, lightweight structure provides a soft yet resilient barrier that absorbs impact and reduces friction damage, making it ideal for protecting delicate produce throughout the supply chain.

• Thickness： Typically 0.1cm – 0.3cm (customizable)

• Color Options： White, Red, Black, Green (custom colors available)

• Customization： Any length, thickness, or perforation design available

Material

• Main Material： LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) based EPE foam – food contact safe, non-toxic, and odorless

Key Benefits for Fruit Packaging

• Individual Fruit Protection – Wraps snugly around each fruit to prevent bruising, rubbing, and pressure damage

• Shock & Vibration Absorption – Reduces impact from drops and transit vibrations for fruits like apples, pears, peaches, mangoes, avocados, and citrus
