What is GrowPack?
GrowPack is our private brand that represents the new standard of quality in Fresh Produce Packaging. Working with industry-leading sources worldwide,
we search for the highest quality products for our clients. We offer the most innovative products designed to increase productivity and product protection, ensuring your products get to market in the best shape possible.
These products look better, last longer, taste better and outlive unpackaged products on retailer shelves by a large margin.
Consumables and Innovation
We provide growers with packaging that not only looks good but improves product shelf life. Proper produce packaging provides protection from physical damage, light, air, and temperature changes that can cause spoilage. Technologies within the packaging are also available including biaxially oriented polypropylene film (BOPP) film packaging, modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), eco-friendly materials, and more.
GrowPack Top Seal Film
GrowPack lidding films can
include tamper-evident technologies and are capable of printing in custom formats to represent your brand. Our top seal films are also offered in resealable format.
GrowPack Flow Wrap Film
Flow wrap films are often
made from custom manufactured BOPP films, which are one of the most popular plastic films today.
Custom Produce Bags
Stand out from your competitors with beautifully designed and cost effective custom produce bags. Our Custom Produce Bags are available in a variety of formats and materials.
GrowPack Shrink Film
GrowPack Cucumber Shrink Film is made from high quality resins that provide a stronger, clearer shrink film that looks great and runs smoothly.
GrowPack Net Trays
These unique trays use up to 50% less plastic than conventional trays allowing for reduced waste, product breathability, and they are 100% recyclable.
Produce Trays
The right produce tray offers an upscale presentation to compliment your produce. We provide produce trays that are usable in flow wrapping machines and tray sealing machines.
Linerless Labels
Linerless labels allow growers to reduce waste and minimize their carbon footprint by eliminating the need for a release liner, all while creating opportunity for increased branding.

Automated Produce Packaging Equipment
Produce packaging automation has become a key aspect for efficient and timely produce packaging. New automation technology has opened high-speed packaging possibilities, allowing growers and packers to achieve increased operational efficiencies and greatly reduce the time to market.
Top Seal Machines
Top seal packaging machines utilize heat and other methods to apply film lids to trays of varying depths, sizes, and substrates.
Flow Wrap Machines
Flow wrap packaging machines use applied heat to seal the bottoms and ends of a roll of film creating a horizontal bag.
Linerless Label Applicators
Linerless label applicators utilize weigh scales for variable-weight products to then apply labels without liners.
Shrink Wrap Machines
Shrink wrapping machines use temperature-sensitive films to tightly cover your product when heat is applied.
Strapping Machines
Strapping machines use bands of flat steel or plastic to secure loads on a pallet of product to prepare for transport.
Stretch Wrap Machines
Stretch wrapping uses stretchable plastic film to secure loads on a pallet of product to prepare for transport.
Bag Sealers are designed to deliver hermetic, rapid, and efficient sealing solutions, aligned with the high-volume demands.
Amidst growing repetitive material handling tasks and labour challenges, Crawford Packaging’s autonomous forklifts offer an ideal solution.
