Sirane: Ethylene-absorbing label

Sirane’s cost-effective Dri-Fresh Fresh-Hold EA labels are a small patch – which can be almost hidden if necessary – that attracts and absorbs the ethylene released by the produce within, slowing down the degradation process.

Dec 6th, 2013

The odor-absorbing patch can easily be integrated with any type of packaging – pads, bags, films, or cartons/trays – and can be customized to meet specific requirements. It is available in a number of formats, including reel format for easy application.

Dri-Fresh Fresh-Hold EA labels are a simple, effective solution to the problems caused by shipping produce long distances before it is finally sold, and is especially suitable for apricots, avocados, bananas, melons, kiwi fruits, mangoes, nectarines, papaya, peaches, pears, plums, and tomatoes.
