Product catalog summary
Extending Fresh-Cut Flower Life: Modern Packaging Solutions
Introduction: Cut flowers deteriorate quickly due to water loss and respiration. Modern packaging solutions aim to manage these factors to extend flower life.
Moisture Management: High water vapor barrier materials, such as BOPP plastic, create a humid environment to reduce water loss. The Labthink C306H Water Vapor Transmission Rate Test System evaluates the water vapor barrier performance of packaging materials, conforming to ASTM F1249 and ISO 15106-2 standards.
Respiration Control: Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) reduces oxygen and increases carbon dioxide around flowers, slowing respiration. Labthink's C650 series headspace gas analyzers, including the portable C650M, measure oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in sealed packages, aiding in production and storage.
Use of Chemical Preservatives: Incorporating chemical preservatives in packaging can provide nutrients, combat bacteria, and slow aging. Combining anti-bacterial agents and ethylene inhibitors can further prevent spoilage.
Conclusion: By integrating these techniques, flower businesses can significantly reduce spoilage during storage and transport. Labthink offers various oxygen transmission rate testers and encourages collaboration with packaging industry companies for quality control.

Labthink Instruments Co., Ltd. [email protected] +86-531-85068566 Extending Fresh-Cut Flower Life: Modern Packaging Solutions Cut flowers wilt and die quickly because they lose water and keep respiring. To prevent this, modern packaging techniques focus on managing moisture and respiration. High water vapor barrier materials like BOPP plastic can be used to create a humid environment around the flowers, reducing water loss. The packaging material water vapor barrier performance can be tested by instrument such as Labthink C306H Water Vapor Transmission Rate Test System
