The FAMILIME brand has made its debut from EV Produce International to coincide with lime season and showcase the brand's high-quality Mexican limes and chayote. The brand is targeted towards helping the produce items start out in the retail environment and showcases bold, fun and inviting packaging that includes anthropomorphized limes showcasing the care that goes into each fruit. The branding also highlights bright, vibrant colors to catch the attention of shoppers and will be further showcased at the West Coast Produce Expo in Palm Desert, California.
Vice President of EV Produce Erick Carranza spoke on the FAMILIME brand saying, "The new brand and packaging are very much focused on the family roots of EV Produce, and the fact that we offer a complete supply chain from the orchard or field to the packing house through to delivery to our retail customers. It features a completely new image with colors that really pop on the shelf and allow us to distinguish what EV offers from other suppliers.”
