What makes AGF and flowers so demanding
Short freshness
Leafy vegetables and cut flowers quickly lose quality at incorrect temperatures.
Ethylene sensitivity
Some products react to ripe fruit in the same container.
Moisture balance
Too much condensation or air that is too dry are both harmful to the product.
Logistics peak
Around public holidays, demand rises sharply — stock availability and speed are crucial at those times.

Frequently asked questions about cold chain packaging for AGF & flowers
How long do cut flowers stay fresh in your cold chain packaging?
With the right combination of insulation and coolant, our packaging keeps cut flowers fresh for up to approximately 72 hours. That is more than sufficient for export routes from Aalsmeer to international destinations, including by air.
How can I prevent condensation and moisture damage during transport?
Moisture balance is crucial for AGF and flowers: too much condensation damages flowers and promotes mold growth, while air that is too dry causes them to wilt. Our insulated boxes and absorbent pads capture excess moisture and keep the climate inside the packaging stable.
What is the effect of ethylene on my products?
Ripe fruit releases ethylene, which accelerates the ageing of flowers and leafy crops. You should therefore pack ethylene-sensitive products separately from ripe fruit. Our consultants will be happy to help you choose the right packaging and packing method for each product type.
Are the packaging solutions suitable for air freight and flower auctions?
Yes. We supply solutions that meet IATA requirements for air freight and align with the logistics of Aalsmeer and Royal FloraHolland. For pallet shipments, we offer pallet covers that protect the entire cart or pallet in the trailer and on the platform.
What is the difference between packaging for flowers, plants, and AGF?
Cut flowers primarily require cooling and color retention, plants need protection against impact and dehydration, and fruit and vegetables require the right balance between cooling and ventilation. We offer a suitable box or cover for every product type and are happy to advise you on your specific product range.
Until what time can I place an order for same-day shipping?
If you order on a working day before 2:00 p.m., we will dispatch your order the same day. Especially around public holidays, when demand in the floriculture sector peaks, this speed and our stock availability are essential.
