Chile remains one of the world’s leading exporters of fresh cherries, supplying major markets across Asia, Europe, and North America. As export volumes continue to grow, ensuring packaging stability during long-distance transportation has become a key focus for cherry exporters and logistics providers.
This week, Hengnice highlights the application of paper corner protectors in Chilean cherry export packaging and their role in reducing transportation risks.
Cherries are high-value and delicate fruits that require careful handling throughout the export process. During palletizing, container loading, and long-distance sea or air transportation, packaging faces several challenges:
Carton deformation caused by stacking pressure
Pallet instability during handling and transit
Edge damage to cartons secured with strapping
Increased risk of product loss due to packaging failure
These risks are amplified by long transit times and multiple handling stages commonly involved in cherry exports from Chile to overseas markets.
Paper corner protectors provide essential structural reinforcement for cherry cartons and palletized loads. When used in combination with stretch film or strapping, they help stabilize pallets and protect carton edges without adding excessive weight.
Key advantages include:
Improved pallet stability for stacked cherry cartons
Protection of carton edges from compression and impact
Even distribution of strapping pressure
Reduced risk of carton collapse during transportation
By reinforcing the most vulnerable points of the packaging, paper corner protectors help maintain both packaging integrity and fruit quality upon arrival.
Hengnice paper corner protectors are made from clean, recyclable paper materials and are suitable for use in fresh produce logistics environments. They can be customized in length and thickness to match standard cherry export cartons and pallet configurations.
As a paper-based solution, they contain no wood and require no fumigation, making them well suited for international shipments and export compliance requirements.
With growing attention on sustainable packaging in the fresh fruit industry, paper corner protectors offer a practical balance between protection and environmental responsibility. Their lightweight design helps reduce overall shipment weight while supporting stable and secure pallet loads.
Hengnice continues to work with customers in the fresh produce sector to improve packaging performance for export shipments. Through reliable quality and flexible customization, the company supports cherry exporters in reducing damage risks and improving logistics efficiency.
