Advanced transit safeguarding solutions for pipfruit, stone fruit, citrus, and avocados targeting domestic and export markets.
New Zealand's horticultural sector is built on an international reputation for delivering premium-quality, pristine agricultural exports. From the intensive kiwifruit orchards of the Bay of Plenty to the extensive pipfruit orchards of Hawke's Bay and the high-grade avocado farms in Northland, the preservation of visual appeal and mechanical integrity during transport is critical. The physical parameters of long-haul export routes to markets in East Asia, Europe, and North America necessitate protective packaging that mitigates bruising, controls microclimates, and prevents post-harvest decay.
Traditional packing methods often fail to cushion delicate stone fruits and high-grade varieties from vibrations experienced in sea freight container transit. Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) foam sleeves and extruded High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) mesh nets provide a specialized solution. These materials absorb shocks through viscoelastic deformation, ensuring that premium exports command premium prices at foreign retail destinations.
Supplying high-efficiency packaging networks with verified performance data.
The engineering of fresh produce mesh packaging is defined by structural dynamics. For delicate crops such as avocados and stone fruits, static compression under storage loads can lead to internal cell rupture without external skin breakage. High-density EPE foam nets utilize a closed-cell physical matrix that exhibits non-linear compression behavior. Under low loads, the foam remains soft and supportive, contouring to the fruit’s curvature. Under high-impact loading conditions, the closed-cell matrix increases resistance, stopping the produce from bottoming out against adjacent structural walls or packaging boxes.
For tubular knitted mesh nets and extruded plastic sleeves, the configuration of the diamond or square apertures is key. A variable expansion ratio allows the net to adapt to varying fruit diameters, ensuring a secure fit without applying excessive constriction that could limit internal sap or sugar circulation. The breathable nature of these mesh networks allows heat to dissipate quickly during rapid cooling processes, ensuring consistent cooling times across the entire pallet.
Utilizes multi-layered cellular structural air bubbles trapped inside high-purity polyethylene resins to neutralize kinetic impacts.
Engineered diamond aperture configuration maximizes thermal exchange, preventing condensation, gas buildup, and fungal proliferation.
Manufactured using low-density polymers that fit directly into commercial polyethylene recycling loops, supporting circular economy targets.
For New Zealand agricultural operations looking to optimize packaging costs, direct factory sourcing from China offers a competitive advantage. At Shandong PsiPrime Packaging Co., Ltd., we utilize automated extrusion lines that produce consistent material density and wall thicknesses, minimizing variation across large production runs.
Our continuous extrusion technology reduces raw material waste, while automated packaging systems cut down processing times. This high output directly lowers cost per unit, allowing New Zealand packers to scale up their protective packaging without compromising their profit margins.
Our capabilities extend beyond standard sizes. We offer customizable parameters to meet the specific requirements of our clients:
Global suppliers of food-grade, high-performance protective packaging solutions.
Shandong PsiPrime Packaging Co., Ltd. is committed to advancing sustainable packaging solutions and promoting the reduction of single-use plastics, helping foodservice and food-related industries transition toward more environmentally responsible operations.

Shandong PsiPrime Packaging Co., Ltd. specializes in the research, development, and manufacturing of eco-friendly food-grade packaging products. Its product portfolio includes compostable food containers, paper-based food packaging, eco-friendly paper bags, food wrapping paper, and disposable catering supplies. These solutions are designed to meet the diverse needs of restaurants, food delivery platforms, food processors, and retail businesses.
The company is dedicated to a customer-centric philosophy, offering one-stop customization services ranging from product design and material selection to custom printing. This enables clients to build strong, recognizable brand packaging while maintaining sustainability goals. At the same time, we emphasize stable delivery performance and strict quality control to ensure efficient and reliable global supply.
Different agricultural varieties require custom configurations. Here is how our mesh sleeves protect localized sectors:
Both green (Hayward) and gold (SunGold) kiwifruit varieties feature thin skins vulnerable to friction and packing pressure. Tailored PE mesh wraps safeguard these exports during long-range transport to global hubs.
Heavy Hass avocados require robust cushion structures. Elastic mesh socks prevent stem damage and skin discoloration, minimizing the sorting reject rates at distribution centers.
Cherries, peaches, and nectarines are highly susceptible to bruising. Customized EPE sleeves isolate individual stone fruits within transit boxes, preventing bruising and extending shelf life.
