Cut fruit packed dry in clear Lucid Infinity trays in the retail case, juice collected below

Patented · Pad-less · Proven

The industry standard tray for cut fruit is a puddle. We fixed that.

Lucid Infinity™ separates released juice from the product.

Margins

Fewer markdowns. More full price sell-through.

Merchandising

Cleaner presentation.

Consumer experience

Fresher product. No leaks.

For the planet

100% recyclable PET.

The problem

Fresh can still look unsellable.

In conventional trays, cut fruit naturally releases juices. That liquid pools around the product, making fresh fruit look older than it is and putting full-price sales at risk.

Conventional tray of cut fruit sitting in pooled juice with a markdown label — was $7.99, now $3.99

Looks less fresh

Pooling around the fruit makes it look older than it is.

Tastes less fresh

Fruits can soften while flavours begin to blend.

Sells for less

Shoppers pass on it and it gets marked down.

Ends as shrink

What doesn't sell becomes waste, lost sales.

01

Looks fresher

Juice collects below, out of sight. The fruit looks as fresh as it is.

Tastes fresher

Fruit stays out of its own juice, so textures hold and flavours stay distinct.

Sells at full price

A cleaner pack gives shoppers no reason to pass — and you no reason to mark down.

Less shrink in the case. And when the tray's done, it's mono-material PET — nothing to sort.

Sustainability

One material. Nothing to sort.

Mono-material PET. No foam, no mixed materials. It recycles easily and can be built with PCR content. As foam bans expand across North America, PET keeps you ahead of the rules.

  • 100% PET — One material
  • PCR-ready — Built for tomorrow
  • No foam — Ahead of the bans
  • One stream — Nothing extra to separate
