Plastic Strawberry Packaging Solutions
Reusable Corrugated Plastic Containers Built for Harvest, Transport & Market Display
Cool Seal USA provides high-performance plastic strawberry packaging engineered for growers, packers, and distributors who need durability, hygiene, and long-term value in real harvest conditions. Our corrugated plastic strawberry containers are designed to outperform traditional cardboard and wax-coated produce trays—especially in wet fields, cold storage, and repeated handling environments common to strawberry production.
Manufactured from 3mm fluted polypropylene (PP), these reusable strawberry flats deliver exceptional strength, moisture resistance, and reusability while remaining 100% recyclable as PP5 rigid plastic at the end of their service life.
Strawberries are often harvested in early morning dew, packed quickly, cooled immediately, and transported multiple times throughout the season. Unlike cardboard or wax-coated trays, Cool Seal’s corrugated plastic strawberry containers are built to last season after season.
Strawberry Packaging Designed for Real Harvest Conditions
Strawberries are often harvested in early morning dew, packed quickly, cooled immediately, and transported multiple times throughout the season. Unlike cardboard or wax-coated trays, Cool Seal’s corrugated plastic strawberry containers:
Do not absorb water
Do not soften, warp, or delaminate
Maintain structural integrity in cold, wet, and high-humidity environments
Resist moisture, mold, and chemicals
Remain lightweight and easy to handle
You can take our strawberry boxes directly into the field during early morning harvest without worrying about moisture damage—then reuse the same containers for cooling, transport, and repeated trips to the farmers market throughout the season.
Reusable Plastic Alternatives to Common Strawberry Trays
Cool Seal offers plastic versions of common strawberry tray formats, engineered to replace disposable cardboard options while maintaining familiar sizing and handling.

Customers report using the same boxes for multiple seasons
No degradation from moisture or repeated cleaning
Maintains shape, strength, and appearance over time
Over multiple harvest cycles, reusable plastic containers often provide a lower total cost of ownership than single-use cardboard trays.
Label Adhesion Recommendations
For best labeling performance on corrugated plastic:
Use labels designed for low surface energy (LSE) plastics
Polypropylene (BOPP) labels are recommended
Pair with all-temperature permanent acrylic adhesives
Ideal for cooler and wet environments
This ensures labels remain secure during refrigeration, transport, and repeated handling.
Why Plastic Strawberry Containers Are Better Than Cardboard Produce Trays
Compared to wax-coated cardboard trays, Cool Seal’s plastic strawberry containers offer clear advantages:
Lightweight
Corrugated plastic provides strength without added weight, making handling easier for field crews and vendors.
Durable
Unlike cardboard, plastic does not collapse, tear, or weaken when exposed to moisture, refrigeration, or repeated use.
Hygienic
Plastic containers can be cleaned and sanitized between uses without degrading—ideal for food handling environments.
Wet-Environment Performance
Early morning dew, washdowns, and cooler condensation won’t damage the container or compromise product presentation.
Reusable & Long-Lasting
Designed for multiple seasons, reducing replacement costs and waste compared to single-use trays.
Professional Presentation
Maintains shape, color, and branding throughout the season—delivering a cleaner, more professional appearance at market.
Fully Recyclable
Reusable and recyclable as PP5 rigid plastic, unlike wax-coated cardboard trays, which are often not recyclable.

Cool Seal plastic strawberry containers are ideal for:
Early-morning field harvests
Wet and humid environments
Cold storage and refrigeration
Transport and pallet stacking
