R.O.P develops and manufactures smart packaging for fresh produce, providing film and bags based on blends of PP, PE, and PA. The company's film-casting technology (between 12 mu to 170 mu), slitting and perforating (0.3 mm to 13 mm), printing, and bag converting are all housed under one roof.
R.O.P's ExtendCast Modified Atmosphere and Humidity Packaging (MAP) films, box liners, and retail bags are designed to improve shelf life, appearance, and nutritional value. Each ExtendCast product is tailor engineered for a specific fruit, vegetable, or herb based on its respiration characteristics, water-loss rate, mass, and post-harvest processes.
The company's ultra-thin MA film addresses the challenges that still exist with MAP, including packaging cost, operation, and environmental impact. Its ExtendCast MAP packaging for extending the shelf life of fresh produce is offered in bags or rolls for automatic packaging.
R.O.P's packaging provides increased food safety and performance to optimize the condition of the produce within. The company's film requires less than 50% of the packaging material used in other existing bulk-packaging methods.
