Broccoletti, still fresh after 28 days.

In a 28-day retail trial, PerfoTec laser micro-perforation more than doubled the shelf life of broccoletti. In standard film, it lasted under 7 days. Today it is on the shelf at leading European retailers.

How PerfoTec works

Four steps from harvest to shelf

Measure what the product does, design the atmosphere it needs, apply it precisely, and keep it stable all the way to the consumer.

Step 01

Measure

Understand how your product breathes.

Step 02

Design

Define the ideal gas and humidity balance.

Step 03

Apply

Use the right equipment, perforation, or packaging solution.

Step 04

Protect

Keep produce fresh through storage, transport, and retail.

Our solutions

Three ways we keep produce breathing

Start with the product, scale with precision equipment, and protect it all the way to the shelf.

Consultancy

Every fruit, vegetable, and flower breathes differently. PerfoTec helps measure, analyze, and define the right atmosphere.

Best forShelf-life trials, product analysis, packaging advice, export challenges.

Packaging

Protect freshness from packhouse to destination. Liners, pallet covers, and breathable packaging balance gases and humidity in transit.

Who we help

Every link in the fresh supply chain

From the first hour after harvest to the retail shelf, each link has its own freshness problem — and its own solution.

Growers & Packers

Preserve quality from the first step after harvest.

Exporters & Logistics

Reduce risk during long-distance transport.

Fresh-cut Producers

Control respiration, oxidation, and gas balance.

Film Converters

Create high-performance breathable films.

Retailers

Deliver fresher products with fewer losses.

Freshness is not a guess. It is a balance.

We put fresh produce into its optimal sleep state

Fresh produce is still alive after harvest. It consumes oxygen, releases carbon dioxide, and reacts to temperature, humidity, and packaging conditions.

PerfoTec slows this natural process by creating a tailored breathing environment around the product.

How we measure respiration
Perforation simulator
Try it
Too closed
The produce suffocates

Oxygen runs out and the produce starts to ferment: off-odours, browning and soft tissue.

In balance
Optimal sleep state

Oxygen is lowered and CO₂ is held, so respiration slows right down. Colour, crunch and weight stay put.

Too open
The produce ages fast

The pack behaves like open air. The produce keeps breathing at full speed and dries out: wilting and yellowing.

Illustration only. Every product breathes differently, so we always measure it first.
