Why Every Apple Producer Needs an Apple Tray-Making Machine

Why Apple Tray Making Machines Are a Smart Investment for Pulp Moulding and Packaging Manufacturers

With the global demand for sustainable and protective fruit packaging on the rise, pulp moulding businesses and packaging manufacturers have a unique opportunity to cater to one of the most in-demand markets: apple producers. Apples are among the most widely cultivated fruits in the world, requiring packaging solutions that are both protective and eco-conscious.

This is where Apple Tray Making Machines come in—high-performance equipment designed for businesses manufacturing molded pulp trays at scale.

1. Meet the Market Demand for Fruit Protection

Post-harvest losses for apples can reach up to 30%, primarily due to poor packaging during transit. Apple Tray Making Machines produce molded pulp trays that offer precise cushioning and support, dramatically reducing bruising and spoilage.

For pulp packaging suppliers and manufacturers, this presents an opportunity to provide tailored solutions to exporters, retailers, and logistics companies.

2. Manufacture Sustainable, In-Demand Products

Sustainability is a non-negotiable for today’s food supply chain. Apple tray making machines use waste paper to produce 100% biodegradable and compostable trays, helping your customers meet their eco-packaging goals.

By adding these machines to your production line, you position your business as a sustainability-first supplier in a competitive marketplace—opening doors to partnerships with environmentally conscious brands and fulfilling supply chain ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) requirements.

3. Offer Custom Tray Solutions for Different Apple Grades

Apple Tray Making Machines support various mold configurations to serve diverse client requirements:

• 25-cavity trays for standard-sized apples
• 40-cavity trays for smaller varieties or bulk shipments

This flexibility enables packaging manufacturers to offer personalized solutions for both local markets and international exports.

4. Improve Presentation and Value Perception

Trays produced using apple tray making machines are not only functional but professionally finished—enhancing the presentation of the fruit. For packaging suppliers working with retail chains and exporters, quality presentation can add significant perceived value and boost customer satisfaction.

Investing in this machine ultimately helps your customers improve product quality while adding branding opportunities to their packaging.

5. Easy Operation, Low Maintenance

Our Apple Tray Making Machines are designed for industrial-scale production. They are user-friendly, require minimal training, and are built to run continuously with minimal maintenance—making them an ideal fit for busy manufacturing environments.

With automated pulp feeding, consistent mold calibration, and streamlined drying systems, operators can maintain high productivity with less downtime. Built-in diagnostic features and support from Sodaltech’s after-sales service team also ensure long-term performance with fewer interruptions.

6. Diversify Your Product Portfolio
