CUPSZ Fresh Produce packaging: all set, from harvest to shelf.

In the fresh produce sector, packaging is a key part of the operation. It needs to be food-safe, hygienic and consistent, but also flexible enough to support fresh produce and ready-to-eat snack moments, seasonal promotions and changing volumes.

At CUPSZ, we produce cardboard packaging for fresh produce snacking concepts like berries, cherry tomatoes, mini paprika, snack cucumbers and other ready-to-eat vegetables, and this entirely in-house in the Netherlands.

That gives you short lead times, predictable supply and a partner who understands the pressure of retail, forecasting and peak demand. When plans change or volumes shift, we are ready to move with you and make sure delivery stays on track.
