Smart Packaging in the
Foliar Supply Chain

How a low oxygen solution eliminates pests and preserves tobacco quality without chemicals

Cut Rag Tobacco (CRT) is vulnerable to insect infestation and quality degradation during storage and transport. This case study explores how Oxy-Low’s SMART Packaging technology offers an effective, chemical-free solution for pest control and product preservation within the foliar supply chain.

Through a series of real-world tests — including insect mortality, quality assessments, and chemical analysis — this study demonstrates the impact of low oxygen packaging on shelf life, sensory quality, and chemical stability.


What you'll learn in this case study?

  • How SMART Packaging achieved 100% beetle mortality across all time intervals up to 90 days

  • The effectiveness of low oxygen packaging on CRT quality after 90 and 180 days

  • Insights on moisture and weight retention in ambient and shipping conditions

  • Results of TSNA and chemical testing over a 180-day period

  • Why Oxy-Low’s technology is a scalable solution for pest control and long-term tobacco storage
