Macro-perforated film is a plastic film with specially designed holes that allow fruits and vegetables to breathe. These holes facilitate the release of moisture naturally produced by the products, preventing the formation of condensation that could compromise the quality and appearance of the food. Thanks to its breathability, the film preserves the integrity of the food, maintaining its freshness, flavor, and texture during transportation and storage.

Perforated macro film is crucial in slowing down spoilage, reducing waste and prolonging product shelf life. At the same time, it protects it from external agents such as dust, moisture, light and heat, representing an indispensable tool in large-scale distribution and retailing.
Macro-perforated film is perfect for use on different types of packaging, such as plastic containers and pouch packaging. Rigid packaging systems, such as wooden crates for large-scale distribution, can also be covered with macro-perforated films to enhance product preservation and highlight the brand. By optimizing moisture management, products arrive fresh and intact at their destination, reducing food waste and improving logistical efficiency.
In this article, we will discuss the following in detail:
Minipack®-torre heat-shrink packaging machines are very versatile because they allow for any type of product to be packed, with attention paid to the packaging dimensions that must be compatible with the machine's functions.
Format change is not a problem: you can opt for fruit and vegetable packaging with or without a support (e.g. trays). In either case, the result is guaranteed.
Minipack®-torre has designed a range of heat-shrink machines for every fruit and vegetable packaging need:
Let’s see a few machines in detail, the flagships of minipack®-torre production.
It was the invention of the first chamber packaging machine that gave the company its decisive boost, thanks to the patent obtained in with the work of engineer Torre.
The FM range of packaging machines, both manual and trolley versions, are simple to use and resistant. Equally important is that they obtain aesthetically impeccable packages, an important aspect also in fruit packaging.

Because of their manual operation, we recommend their use to small businesses that need to package fruit and vegetables while maintaining a high level of hygiene.
The MODULAR range uses a series of innovative systems, amongst which electronically-controlled sealing and cutting-edge safety devices stand out.

MODULAR packaging machines can operate automatically or semi-automatically. Customising the operating programs also makes it possible to simplify all packaging stages, thereby maximising the production yield. We recommend this type of packaging machine to greengrocers seeking a simple and practical solution to package fruit.
Among all the minipack®-torre heat-shrink packaging machines, those of the PRATIKA line offer the most in terms of functionality and operating programs. They are innovative and technological automatic machines, but also designed to be user-friendly.
The key element in this type of packaging machine is the heat-shrinking film, meaning a protective film that shrinks when it is heated by the packaging machine. Once the film is wrapped around the product, it is passed through a special heat-shrinking tunnel. This way, the film adheres perfectly to the fruit (or product) to be packaged.
Given its versatility and practicality, heat-shrink packaging fruit is now a technique used by many companies. In particular, it is recommended to companies such as greengrocers, supermarkets, mass retail and food companies, each with a packaging machine that best fits their production needs (manual, semi-automatic or automatic).
The most immediate benefits of this type of packaging machine are lower costs than other types of packaging and reduced consumption. But do not underestimate the aesthetic reasons, which are particularly important in direct sales of fruit and vegetables to the consumer.
In fact, the most visible advantage of heat-shrink packaging is the possibility of creating aesthetically pleasing packages, ideal to be displayed in a showcase. Aesthetics is counterbalanced by the need for freshness of the fruit: the choice of heat-shrink is particularly suitable for appealing as well as resistant packaging. The heat-shrink packaging is therefore ideal for trays and packs of fruit and vegetable to be displayed on the counter or stored in refrigerator cabinets. The result is a safe and beautiful product to look at.
Lastly, and not to be underestimated, is the ease of storage and transport of goods packaged with a heat-shrink film: creating light and compact packages makes it really easy to move fruit from one place to another and to store it without occupying too much storage space.
