The EPE foam fruit tray is a soft, resilient polyethylene foam liner that cradles each piece of fruit in a fitted pocket, so apples and other produce ride in a gift box without bruising, rolling, or rubbing. As a fruit box liner it drops into a mailer or presentation carton, and as an apple packaging insert it holds a full layer square for a clean retail reveal.

Cavities sized to the fruit

Each pocket is cut to the fruit so it sits deep and square with no room to roll or press against its neighbour. Tell us the variety and count, a 12-apple layer as shown or 6, 9, or 16, and the cavity diameter, depth, and pitch are set to match. The same tool suits round or oval produce, so one liner grades a box of apples on one run and peaches or pears on the next.

Foam liner vs loose fill and nets

Loose fill and single-fruit nets stop scuffs but let fruit shift and stack, which bruises soft produce. A cushioned fruit tray locates every piece, spreads the load, and springs back after a drop, so the box arrives graded and undamaged. It also lifts a gift set: fruit seated in a clean white tray reads far more premium than fruit tipped loose into a carton.

Why EPE foam

EPE is an expanded polyethylene foam that is soft, resilient, and recovers after impact, so it absorbs the drops and vibration that bruise fruit in transit. It is water-resistant and does not shed dust or lint onto the produce, which keeps chilled and damp shipments clean. The foam is light, so fruit gift box foam adds protection without pushing up the parcel weight or courier cost.

Applications

Use the tray for apples, peaches, pears, oranges, kiwis, mangoes, avocados, and dragon fruit, in retail multipacks, e-commerce mailers, and festival gift boxes. The round pockets hold each fruit, the foam cushions courier handling, and the clean layer presents a premium set for farm-gate, export, and holiday hampers.

Get a quote

Send your fruit size, the count per box, and the carton it sits in, and we will cut a dieline and quote the liner with a sample for your approval. ISO 9001 and 14001 systems keep density, pocket depth, and cut size consistent lot to lot, so every tray fits the box and protects the fruit the same.

FAQ

Will it fit my existing gift box? Yes. The liner is cut to your carton's inside dimensions so it drops in flat with no gaps, and the pocket layout is set to your fruit count. Send the box size and the fruit and we form the tray to match, single layer or stacked for a deeper box.

Does it really stop bruising? It helps a lot. Seating each fruit in its own pocket stops rolling and fruit-on-fruit pressure, and the resilient foam absorbs drops and vibration. Match the pocket depth and foam density to the fruit weight, which we set on the quote, for the best protection on courier routes.

Can you contour it to soft fruit like peaches? Yes. The pocket is shaped to the fruit, so soft or oddly shaped produce like peaches, pears, and mangoes sits supported rather than resting on one point. Send a sample or the dimensions and we cut the cradle to fit and send a sample to check.

What is a realistic order quantity? There is no strict minimum, but the forming tool and setup spread over the run, so small batches cost more per piece and price drops with volume. Tell us your annual volume and we advise the break points.
