A pouch bag offers so much more versatility than traditional packaging. Food is kept from being touched and handled by multiple people. Modified atmosphere is available to extend shelf life. The real estate is available to tell the story of the product, this is key in differentiating produce to stand out," Bradford, notes. "A pouch can be displayed easily on a retail shelf or designed to be hung from a peg. Vegetables and fruits can now compete as an impulse buy. They compete not only against other fruit and veg items but against less healthy snacks."</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p>Temkin currently produces pouch bags for carrots, apples, pears, all citrus items, herbs, cucumbers, a variety of squash items, green beans, Brussels sprouts, sugar snap peas, snow peas, asparagus, tomatoes, potatoes, mangoes, grapes, artichokes, plus many more items. </p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href=" http://commercial.temkininternational.com" target="_new">Temkin International</a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
