## Abstract

A package made of plastic material for storage, transportation and commercialization of ‘formosa’ papaya, which comprises an envelope formed of a pellicle of thermoplastic film, with a plurality of orifices spaced through its surface, and sealed by a mechanized system known as flow pack, the package capable of reducing the physical damages imposed to the fruit's outer skin, lingering the ripening, and reducing the action of pathogenic agents disseminated by handling the fruit during transportation, as well as in the selling spots, adding nutritional safety to the product and reducing the losses imposed to rural producers.

A package for transportation and commercialization of ‘formosa’ papaya, comprising:
a pellicle (1) of thermoplastic film made of bi-oriented polypropylene (BOPP) or polyethylene (PE), with paper weight in the range of 55 to 65 g/m2, folded over itself in such a way to forming an envelope capable of entirely involving the fruit and containing:
(a) a plurality of orifices (2), applied at the surface of pellicle (1) and distributed in two parallel rows, near a lateral and in a longitudinal direction of package (A), separated among each other in about 10 to 35 mm, and
(b) two points of horizontal sealing (3) at an upper and lower ends of package (A), and a point of vertical sealing (4) at a central part of package (A), to obtain a final aspect substantially rectangular.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The package according to claim 1, wherein in periods of higher temperatures, the orifices (2), applied at the surface of pellicle (1) of thermoplastic film for package (A), are distant from 10 to 20 mm from each other.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)
