Hazel BreatheWay is a next-generation Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) product, designed to help fruit and vegetables remain higher in quality and more resilient through potentially damaging temperature fluctuations that can occur during transit.
Hazel BreatheWay®
Breathable packaging that actively regulates the flow of gases within, to ensure that the air around your packaged produce is optimally balanced.
Hazel BreatheWay is a next-generation Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) product, designed to help fruit remain healthier and more resilient through potentially damaging temperature fluctuations that can occur during transit. BreatheWay comes in two sizes -- pallat bags and caseliner bags. Our Temperature Switch Technology ® allows atmosphere in product packaging to keep CO2 in non-damaging ranges during most temperature excursions. As temperature increases, Hazel Breatheway’s membranes increase permeation rate to match produce respiration rate. The result: fresher, fuller and more marketable berries.

Delayed Aging Technology
As produce ages, it begins releasing a natural gas called ethylene. And when crops absorb ethylene, their rate of decay is expedited. 1-MCP is an active ingredient that can be used to reduce ethylene's production and absorption, slowing down the aging process.
Breathable Packaging
Allow your produce to breathe easier with packaging that helps balance the oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere around your fruit and vegetables. When these compounds are properly balanced, your produce stays fresher and more resilient against unexpected temperature changes.
Anti-fungal Technology
For some produce, like grapes and berries, fungus spores are the leading cause of decay and spoiling. Using an anti-fungal pad can extend the shelf life and quality of your crops.
Anti-sprouting Technology
For root vegetables - like potatoes - sprouting is often the first sign of spoiling. But you can slow down sprouting to keep your veggies fresh longer.
How It Works
Patented Temperature Switch Technology
BreatheWay's Temperature switch technology is embedded in its patented permeable membrane/patch, which is capable of controlling the ratio of oxygen to CO2 within the bag's atmosphere, ensuring that gas levels are kept at non-damaging ranges, through storage, transit, and temperature fluctuations.
As temperature increases, Hazel BreatheWay membranes increase permeation rate to match produce respiration rate.
Our Temperature Switch Technology® allows atmosphere in product packaging to keep CO2 in non-damaging ranges during most temperature excursions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is BreatheWay most used for?
It is mostly used on fruit and select vegetables during storage or transportation. By extending shelf-life, we open more opportunities to reach new markets. We can prevent defects in fruit affected by logistical delays or supply chain break downs.
How is BreatheWay different from other MAP products/technologies?
Our Temperature Switch Technology® allows atmosphere in product packaging to keep CO2 in non-damaging ranges during most temperature excursions. As temperature increases, Hazel BreatheWay's membranes increase permeation rate to match produce respiration rate.
Do you offer samples?
Yes, we do. But first, we'd need to learn a bit more about your specific needs and supply chain. Fill out the form at the bottom of this page, we'll talk, and send some out to you.
