Systems and method of wrapping an object are disclosed. An object wrapping system includes a contractible loop, a positioning system, and a wrapping material system. The contractible loop is configured to be deployed in an expanded position and a contracted position. The positioning system is configured to position an object in alignment with an aperture defined by the contractible loop. The wrapping material system is configured to position a wrapping material between the object and the aperture. The positioning system is configured to move the object into the wrapping material and through the aperture when the contractible loop is deployed in the expanded position. The contractible loop is configured to deploy into the contracted position to at least partially close the wrapping material around the object.

A method for the production of a stabilized packaged food product comprising the steps of: filling a tray with a predetermined quantity of a food starting material; introducing the tray into a pressure vessel and conveying the tray through the pressure vessel while performing the following steps in sequence inside the pressure vessel: (i) treating the food starting material with high-temperature pressurized steam to sterilize the material, and (ii) dosing the sterile food material inside said tray with a predetermined amount of sterile water; and (iii) applying a lid to the tray to seal the food product inside the tray while maintaining the tray in a sterile environment. Suitable food starting materials comprise starchy food products, such as rice, wheat or pasta, and/or meat or vegetable pieces. Also provided are an apparatus for performing the method and packaged stabilized full moisture food products obtainable by the process.

Described is a packaging, and method and system for packaging an individual and single serving of plant matter, such as a cannabis flower. Also described are a method of making and using for the packaging.

Described herein are sealable, breathable bags for packaging, storing, and transporting fresh fruit in boxes. The bags protects the fruit from outside contaminants while maintaining a modified atmosphere environment around the fruit to preserve the freshness of the fruit. Furthermore, the bags are constructed in such a way that they have a flattened closed configuration and an fully opened configuration that allows them to efficiently fit into a generally cuboid, open-topped packaging box to be filled with fresh fruit and then seal around the fruit in the box, such as by sliding a slider across an upper closure of the bag.

A system and method are disclosed for inhibiting or preventing the growth of microbes and/or for killing microbes in a closed package or container in which a good (optionally a food product) is held or stored. The system and method optionally include use of an entrained polymer article, preferably a film that includes an antimicrobial releasing agent and channeling agent.

Multiple environmental, economic, and ecological issues are linked to a limited number of chemicals such as carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, methanol, formaldehyde and ethylene or disposal of some waste products from farming, transportation, and the beverage industry. Accordingly, the reduction of the impacts of these limited number of gases on the environment and/or ecology is beneficial. Accordingly, there are presented a range of application of methods, systems, and treatments which mitigate these impacts.

A packaging tray holds leaf vegetables with their roots intact during the packaging process. The resultant leaf vegetable in the package includes its roots, allowing for longer shelf life and freshness of the leaf vegetable.
