How a Tucson Produce Cooperative Cut Costs and Protected Its Crops

In the fertile valleys just south of Tucson, a growers’ cooperative was shipping fresh produce—chilies, citrus, and leafy greens—across Arizona and into California. But as the desert summer pushed temperatures over 105°F, their packaging started failing. Thin sacks ripped, wooden pallets dried and cracked, and unprotected goods suffered from dust storms on long hauls along I-10 and I-19. By the time shipments reached Phoenix or Nogales, farmers were losing thousands in damaged produce.

That’s when they partnered with Custom Packaging Products. We introduced FIBC bulk bags with food-grade liners, UV-resistant pallet covers, and reusable plastic pallets designed for desert conditions. We also provided slip sheets that maximized truck space and cut freight costs. Within months, the cooperative reduced packaging losses by 30% and saved thousands on shipping—while delivering fresher produce to grocery chains and restaurants across the Southwest.
