Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Packaging on Shantou Longsheng Multi-Station Thermoforming Machines

Why Thermoformed Packaging Suits Fresh Produce
Fresh produce keeps selling only while it still looks fresh. Thermoformed PET and PP containers hold that promise because the material is rigid enough to protect fruit in transit yet thin enough to stay economical at high volume. Clear PET lets shoppers inspect colour and condition without opening the pack, which reduces handling damage on the shelf.
Shantou Longsheng Industry Co., Ltd. builds multi-station thermoforming machines in Shantou City, Guangdong Province, that form these containers from PP, PS, HIPS, PVC, PET, PLA and PE. The company was founded in 1998 and operates a 30,000 square metre production facility with 25 authorised patents.
The Containers a Produce Packer Needs
A single machine platform, with the right mold, covers most of the fresh category:
- Strawberry clamshell boxes with hinged lids and shallow stacking ribs
- Perforated blueberry boxes with ventilation holes punched in the forming station
- Grape boxes with deeper cavities and reinforced corners
- Breathable produce trays with slotted bases for airflow
- Salad and fruit bowls with snap-fit rims for retail display
How Ventilation and Clamshell Features Are Formed
Ventilation is not added afterwards. Holes and slots are cut by the punching station while the sheet is still indexed in the machine, so every cycle produces a finished, ready-to-pack container. Clamshell hinges are formed in the same tool as the body and lid, which keeps the fold line consistent and lets the pack close with a reliable snap.
Multi-station architecture matters here. Heating, forming, punching and stacking run as separate stages, so a heavier gauge for a grape box or a finer perforation pattern for blueberries becomes a tooling and parameter change rather than a new production line.
Matching Output to Harvest Season
Berry and salad seasons are short, and volumes swing sharply. Longsheng builds machines with a registered trademark under the "Longsheng" brand and supports customers through mold supply, installation guidance and operator training, so a packer can add a format quickly when a new crop arrives.
