General Informations about Absorption Pads
Anyone who grows microgreens knows the problem — they look perfect when you harvest them, but keeping them fresh during shipping is tough.
Our Absorption Pads fix this. These small pads are made from natural materials and control moisture in your packaging. They stop your microgreens from getting too wet or too dry during delivery.
Why use Absorption Pads?
- Efficient moisture control – absorbs excess humidity that could damage or rot microgreens during transport.
- Eco-friendly & plastic-free – made from natural cellulose and paper; no synthetic additives, no microplastics.
- Perfect size – 80 × 120 mm, fits neatly under standard growing trays and pots.

- Reliable performance – developed for demanding logistics, ideal for shipping microgreens to restaurants, distributors, or direct customers.
How does Absorption Pads work?
Place the Absorption Pad directly under the tray or inside the growing container before shipping. As the microgreens release moisture, the pad quickly absorbs it — helping to prevent soggy packaging, mold, or plant stress. The result? Clean, vibrant, customer-ready microgreens on arrival.
