For delicate items such as berries or leafy greens, consider using soft packaging materials like cushioned liners or foam inserts to prevent bruising or crushing. Additionally, label your packages or pallets clearly with handling instructions and any special requirements, such as refrigeration or ventilation, to ensure that your produce arrives at its destination in optimal condition.
