Stone fruits like nectarines, peaches, and plums are prized for their flavour, aroma, and vibrant appearance. But they’re also highly perishable – sensitive to ethylene and prone to rapid ripening, softness, and spoilage. Maintaining their quality from orchard to shelf is a challenge that demands smart post-harvest solutions.

That’s where the RYPEN Case Liner comes in – a simple, effective tool for ethylene management that helps extend shelf life, preserve fruit quality, and reduce waste throughout the supply chain.

Watch the RYPEN Case liner in action with nectarines

We’ve created a short video to show how easy it is to integrate the RYPEN® Case Liner into your stone fruit packing process. Using nectarines as an example, you’ll see how this discreet liner fits seamlessly into existing formats and delivers consistent results.

Why the RYPEN Case liner is ideal for stone fruits

The RYPEN Case liner actively captures and manages ethylene inside the carton, slowing down the ripening process and helping maintain firmness, colour, and flavour. This is especially important for stone fruits, which are sensitive to ethylene and can deteriorate quickly if unmanaged.

Designed for flexibility and ease of use

Bulk packed stone fruits: For larger cases and boxes of stone fruits, the goods are simply packed loosely or in trays in the RYPEN Case liner. This enables our Case liner to provide all-round protection – moderating the ethylene build-up.

The result: better quality, less waste

By slowing down the ripening process, the RYPEN Case Liner helps stone fruits arrive at their destination in peak condition – firmer, fresher, and more appealing to consumers. It’s a small change that delivers big benefits throughout the supply-chain.
