SUPERIOR MATERIALS AND SUSTAINABLE CHOICES

We source our materials from sustainable suppliers.

We use approximately 37% recycled materials in our boxes. We participate in the SFI program and choose to source paper from SFI participant vendors.

INNOVATIVE PACKAGING SOLUTIONS

Our ability to innovate is what keeps Fruit Growers Supply a step ahead of the competition. We are constantly developing new corrugated packaging solutions in order to creatively solve our customers’ most vexing packaging problems. For instance, rather than buying a box that’s already made up and paying for shipping costs, we offer onsite makeup machines and machine support to help take automation to the next level.
