The cold chain is indispensable for the fruit industry. Effective cold chain management is essential for maximizing the value of fruits and minimizing losses throughout the supply chain. Therefore, packaging in the cold chain is essential for ensuring the quality, safety, and shelf life of perishable goods. Normally, packaging vary in features, depending on the materials used. This study compares and analyzes fruit packaging in cold chain logistics using the entropy weighted technique and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The seven criteria examined to determine packaging quality are: price, dimension, durability, temperature, easy-to-open design, ventilation, and environmental friendliness of material. Then, five initial-size alternative packaging options for fruit delivery are compared. Results show that dimension, price, and durability rank as the top three weighted criteria, and the best packaging options are paper box I (KA) and paper box II (KA), respectively. The findings of this study will be beneficial for packaging businesses or fruit sellers who are looking to improve the quality of their products.
