Package Medjool dates from their actual size range, piece count, filled weight and moisture or oil-control needs. Large dates require more cavity volume than smaller varieties at the same net weight. Use a suitable food-contact cup, tray, liner or individual wrap and confirm capacity with a filled sample.
Key Considerations
- Start with the actual product, quantity and distribution requirements.
- Separate structural performance from decorative appearance.
- Confirm assumptions with a physical sample and written specification.
- Review compliance and supplier documents for the specific project.
