View Fresh, a modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) system owned by Orchard View Farms of The Dalles, OR, announces the release of the View Fresh Spectrum-Slider bag.

The View Fresh Spectrum bag is closed by simply using the slider – a first for the MAP industry. The company says the Spectrum-Slider bag is faster, easier and safer than any other MAP presently in use within the industry. The patent-pending Spectrum bag eliminates the sealing machine, increases operator throughput and delivers premium fruit with world-class results.

“We are very excited with the launch of this new product. It’s all about lowering labor costs, increasing our efficiencies, and delivering quality; the Spectrum bag does just that”, stated Brenda Thomas, president of Orchard View Farms. “Removing the sealing machines means less potential downtime due to broken equipment and reducing operator injury.”

In 1992, View Fresh was the first MA bag to deliver premium fresh cherries to China via ocean freight. In addition to cherries, View Fresh now offers MAP solutions for kiwi, blueberry, and plum fruits.
