Absorbent cushioned pads for soft-fruit

Dri-Fresh

Dri-fresh® Soft-Hold™ provides the ultimate protection for soft fruit. It was developed in partnership with some of the soft-fruit world's key companies to optimise shelf-life, reduce damage in transit, add value and offer better product presentation – all at the lowest possible cost.

Dri-fresh® Soft-Hold™ are 'absorbent bubble pads' combining the cushioning and protective properties of bubble films with effective absorbency, high permeability and excellent product presentation.

The Soft-Hold™ unique 'tear-drop' embossed pattern raises the fruit from the surface to encourage air-flow, inhibit sweating, damage and corresponding fungal growth, minimise contact between berries and surface and prevent the berries from moving around the pack.

Available in various colours and sizes. Dri-fresh® Soft-Hold™ is available with integrated ethylene absorbency and anti-fungal properties for extending shelf-life in all applications.
