Wellington Produce Packaging would like to thank friends, family, neighbours and community members, for all the support we have received over the past few days. Your care and concern have been greatly appreciated. We would also like to acknowledge the incredible work that was done to control the fire and contain it to not spread to neighbouring houses and other buildings and equipment on the WPP site. The response of eight area fire departments and several police officers was remarkable! The WPP team and the Hincks family are grateful for you and your support.
Thank you.

How it’s Made: Mushroom Box Lids This machine is an oldie but a goodie! The paper is ran through the machine, glued and formed. Taking all of the guess work out of hand folding your mushroom box lids. Lids come skid wrapped and ready to go. Ask us about custom printed lids to brand your boxes. #manufacturing #smallbusiness #howitsmade #packaging #madeinontario #madeincanada #canadianmade #producepackaging #mushrooms
These are small, specialty trays for high-end asparagus! Yum! π
Tray is fed through the line where a very small amount of hot glue is sprayed on the corners. Then it goes through the former and stacks out the bottom before being bagged and shipped out.

#howitsmade for the 5lb mushroom box! We make many boxes on this machine for mushrooms, peaches, apples, cucumbers, tomatoes, and more!
This machine pre-assembles the box so our farmers spend more time growing and less time assembling boxes π

How it’s made - our infamous green litre baskets! This machine is hard at work with berry season going strong. Seen here the plastic is hot and dipped into our molds, then it is rushed with cold water to harden the plastic for it to keep its shape. All of this happens in 30 seconds. #howitsmade #madeincanada #berrybasket
Compostable Trays aren’t just great for produce. They are also a great way to package your delicious baked goods. Available in 4 different sizes.

More #howitsmade here! We are making asparagus trays here - yum yum!
The trays are already pre-cut and printed, and at this stage we are forming and gluing. They are then packed into large bags, skidded, and shipped off to the customer to fill with their delicious asparagus. Similar trays are also made for other other types of produce like tomatoes!
This machine runs at approximately 60 / min making these trays. The machine speed really depends on the size of the tray and type of machine. Compressed air is used to grab the trays with suction cups and shoot the little drops of glue as the tray passes through. The tank in front is full of melted glue that feeds through hoses to the guns. Finally the head plunges the tray and folds the corners perfectly into shape. The glue dries almost immediately to hold the tray's shape. Then bagged, skidded, and loaded on a truck to go off to the customer!

We did a little promo photo-shoot a few weeks ago, but posted this to remember pre-snow life βοΈ βοΈ last picture was our harvest from our one lonely tree tree π§π³ I think we’ll stick to packaging... π
Winter is not known to have an abundance of produce growing, the fields are white instead of green. But some of the produce that is grown in the summer and fall have a very long storage life like potatos, garlic and mushrooms! These can be purchased in the store all year round and are considered in season for winter! β
β
For our sweet potatoes we recommend a Jute bag or potato bag, which range in size form 5lb to 50lb. We suggest putting your garlic in a garlic rope net where it can hang and easily be displayed. Mushrooms usually are grown inside and can grow all year round, one of our best selling products is our 5lb and 10lb mushroom box! And the potatoes can be packaged into a solid potato bag or one with a window!
Happy thanksgiving everyone! π¦ We’ve been getting festive here, shipping out rutabaga boxes (and π , π , etc) that get this delicious produce home for meals this long weekend! Now time to enjoy!#thanksgiving #thanksgivingdinner #thanksgivingdecor #growninontario #goodthingsgrowinontario #freshproduce #loveontfood
Fall is such an amazing time of year, the colours are changing, everyone is wearing sweaters and most importantly different produce is in season! Cranberries, apples, pumpkins and onions are just some of our favourites! If you get a chance to visit one of the many Apple and pumpkin patches around here on a beautiful fall day you will not be disappointed! β
β
If you are selling any of this produce yourself we have attached pictures of the perfect packaging to use! For the pumpkins a combo bin is great to keep all the pumpkins of different sizes together for display and for purchasing. The onion bags come in a variety of different sizes to suit your customers needs. The 1.5L cardboard basket is perfect for cranberries. And the Apple bags, boxes and jugs are a symbol of fall, all farms need to provide bags for their customers and we are here to supply them!
