Custom Fruit Punnets for Australian Fresh Produce
Engineered ventilation patterns, structural rigidity for supply chain stacking, and rPET material options — fruit punnets designed to keep your produce fresh and meet the sustainability requirements of Australia's major supermarket chains.
Fruit Punnets Engineered for Produce Longevity
Fresh produce packaging is one of the most technically demanding categories in food packaging. A fruit punnet must simultaneously achieve multiple engineering objectives: it must provide precise ventilation to prevent ethylene gas build-up and mould proliferation, deliver structural rigidity to survive complex supply chain stacking and transport protocols, and maintain high visual clarity to showcase the produce effectively on the retail shelf.
At Cinex Plastics, our fruit punnets are thermoformed to your exact specifications. We engineer the ventilation pattern to suit your specific produce type — whether strawberries, blueberries, cherry tomatoes, or stone fruit — ensuring optimal airflow without compromising structural integrity.
Critically, we offer rPET (recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) as a standard material option. With Coles, Woolworths, and other major Australian retailers mandating increasing recycled content in fresh produce packaging, our rPET punnets allow you to meet these requirements without compromising on quality or visual presentation.

Sustainability
Meeting Supermarket Sustainability Mandates
Australia's major supermarket chains — including Coles and Woolworths — have introduced mandatory recycled content requirements for fresh produce packaging. Failure to meet these requirements can result in delisting from major retail channels.
Cinex Plastics offers rPET (recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) fruit punnets as a standard product option. Our rPET punnets maintain the same structural integrity, visual clarity, and ventilation performance as virgin PET alternatives — while demonstrating a verifiable commitment to the circular economy that satisfies retailer sustainability audits.
