IPAK BLACK AND WHITE LIGHT DIFFUSING FILM this is also a laminated film that diffuses harmful
light rays that cause greening in potatoes. the film is used in a Fox Combo bag that is partially mesh and partially film. the bag comes fully wicketed so it can be run on automated bagging equipment. the retailer displays the product film side up and gets the benefit from point- of-sale graphics printed on the bag and the light diffusion and protection from greening that allows for longer shelf life of the
potatoes. the outer
layer of the lamination is white, which
further enhances
the graphics. the mesh side allows for
transmission of moisture
and atmosphere so the product breathes properly to also extend
shelf life. the package is fully recyclable after use. there are several large retail chains currently using or moving to this product to help
reduce shrink at the store level. Idaho Package Company (208) 529-0891
