Packing is not a finishing touch. It protects quality, keeps your planning predictable and gets your product shelf-ready.
At Europe Retail Packing, we provide retail-ready packing for fruit, vegetables, (sweet) potatoes and herbs. With over 60 packing lines, we combine speed, food safety and flexibility, with customer requirements leading the way.
Our experts strive for maximum freshness. Each product completes an individual journey, with different distances and degrees of vulnerability. We also look critically at the product’s ‘coat’ and we anticipate retail wishes with less environmentally harmful, transparent and user-friendly packaging. For example, we use recycled plastic and aim to use the thinnest plastic possible. In addition, we remain constantly informed about alternative sustainable packaging materials and mono-packaging solutions.
With more than 60 packing lines, Europe Retail Packing offers attractive and functional packaging, such as flow pack and top seal, to guarantee the freshness and quality of products. By combining logistics services with customer-specific packing and sorting, we increase efficiency throughout the chain. With our extensive machinery we maintain speed, food safety, hygiene and sustainability at a high level.
You need products that can move straight into a distribution centre or store flow. Think flowpack or topseal, with the right labels, barcodes and date coding. Less handling, fewer errors, more consistency.
You need a partner that can switch quickly between batches, specs and volumes. For example: repacking and labelling after ripening programmes for avocado or mango, aligned with your shipping and delivery windows.
You need packaging that matches market requirements and transport conditions. For example: grapes or citrus packed per destination with customer-specific labels and formats, ready to move without rework.
Our Barendrecht operations specialise in citrus packing and repacking, including formats for mineola, oranges and mandarins. With dedicated lines, a UV tunnel and an experienced team, we adapt quickly to customer specifications and retail requirements.

Pulses are a staple ingredient in many international recipes, and have more than earned their place in Dutch cuisine. They are rich in protein and fibre, making them very suitable as part of a healthy diet.
Sugar snaps, mangetout and haricots verts are crunchy and go well with meat and fish dishes, or can be used raw in a delicious summer salad.

Much of avocado's success is due to its taste, versatility and content of beneficial nutrients. These are primarily monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. In addition to the greater focus on health, increasing environmental awareness is also driving growth. Did you know that growing avocados requires significantly less water than growing pork, veal and chocolate?
Our specialists go for fresh, which means, fresh enough for that moment! As some products travel more metres than others. Or are more vulnerable than others, so we take this into account. And we also look at the ‘jacket’ itself. We work with recycled plastic and the thinnest possible plastic. In addition, we are always looking for other sustainable packaging materials. Like a banderole as packaging material. The packaging consists of a cardboard punnet with a paper strap to hold the product. Flowpack film and plastic punnets are therefore not necessary. This ensures a reduction of almost 6,000 kg of plastic on an annual basis. Almost 12 pallets of plastic!
Next to that, we extended our machinery with topseal machines. Many supermarkets are switching to another packaging for soft fruits, such as grapes and blueberries. With these machines, we respond to the retail's demand for packaging with a reduced environmental impact that is transparent and user-friendly.
In addition to packaging, when selecting a product we also focus on quality and ensure the repacking in the right packaging.
