How are grapes packaged?

Packing is very important for grapes. The packaging can either extend the life of the grape or it can make them rot faster. Depending on the variety of grapes, there are different methods for packing as well. Grapes have many packaging options available that are healthy for the grape. In the end, within those options, it is really up to the person selling how they would like to market/brand their grape.

The two most common ways of packing grapes are in bags and plastic boxes. These bags and boxes are designed so that the grape can maintain freshness and quality but can also breathe. Most bags or boxes have small holes in them to allow for circulation and possibly draining any water. There are many options but two possibilities include clear plastic clamshells with holes in the bottom and perforated polyethylene bags. These bags or boxes are then placed into cardboard boxes to be taken to the distributor.
