Our production process prints scannable two-dimensional QR codes directly onto RPET/virgin PET clamshell surfaces using food-safe, recyclable flexographic inks, removing need for adhesive secondary labels that contaminate recycling streams. Each unique QR code links to cloud-hosted batch-specific data: farm origin coordinates, picking timestamps, lab residue test certificates, refrigeration journey temperature history, and importer compliance documentation required for border clearance. Scanning works for customs officials, retail quality teams and end consumers via standard smartphone devices without specialized hardware.
This design aligns perfectly with China’s 2026 fruit qualification traceability mandate, US FSMA traceability rules and Canadian agricultural import documentation requirements, drastically cutting inspection processing times at ports of entry. For premium berry brands, consumer-facing QR landing pages double as marketing tools, sharing brand storytelling, sustainable farming practices and recipe content to boost customer loyalty and repeat purchase rates.
Structurally, direct printing avoids surface scratches common with sticker labels during stacking and transit, maintaining scan reliability throughout distribution. Sequoia provides flexible printing customization, variable batch coding services and packaging size adaptation for strawberries, blueberries, grapes and stone fruits. For export-focused packhouses, traceable clamshells reduce compliance administrative labor, minimize shipment detention risks, and position fruit brands as transparent, food-safety responsible suppliers preferred by large multinational retail chains globally.
