The company said that the produce baskets are versatile enough to market a broad range of fruits, vegetables, and other produce, including berries, tomatoes, and tree-grown fruits.  

Furthermore, the multiple customisation options available for these baskets provide a competitive edge, allowing produce brands to stand out on the shelves with different printing options such as lithographic, flexographic, and digital. 

Cascades Containerboard Packaging president and COO Charles Malo said: “These new corrugated basket formats for fresh fruit and vegetables enhance our innovative product offering for the produce sector, while allowing us to continue to meet the highest standards of environmental responsibility.” 

Last May, Cascades started the production of 100% recycled containerboard at its containerboard packaging plant in Bear Island, Virginia, US.
