About

Modified Humidity Packaging for Produce

StePac PPC develops and manufactures high-quality, precision-engineered modified atmosphere/modified humidity (MA/MH) packaging for fresh produce. Tailor-made for each specific type of vegetable, fruit, or herb, StePac PPC ensures an extended shelf life while maintaining the freshness, flavor, and nutritional value of produce.

The polymers of the company's Xtend MA/MH packaging are engineered to allow the produce inside the bag to equilibrate within the specific range of O2 and CO2 concentrations required by the particular fruit or vegetable. Xtend slows senescence (aging), maintains the nutritional value and flavor of produce, reduces decay, preserves firmness, and prevents shriveling.

StePac PPC also manufactures CARERITE sterilization packaging, a line of infection-control barrier films and sterilization bags designed for medical, dental, and veterinary clinics.
