ABOUT PLAFORM® PACKAGING
Plaformâ
More than just packaging, Plaformâ is an exclusive design system used to improve the logistics, the palletizing and the storage of fruit, flowers and vegetables. Some of the qualities that set Plaformâ packaging apart from the rest:
· high resistance to cold and humid conditions;
· easy to palletize and high resistance to stacking;
· printed in up to 6 colors, adding value to the product at the point of sale;
· water-based, environmentally-friendly dye;
· greater hygiene with regard to reusable boxes, as the corrugated cardboard packaging prevents the accumulation of debris and the proliferation of fungi;
· automatic assembly system;
· 100% recyclable.
Printing in up to six colors
Rigesa uses a unique technology in Brazil known as Rigegraphics®. It is a polychrome, high-resolution flexographic process for printing photos and graphics on corrugated cardboard.
