There different polyliners viz., high density, low density and low density with absorbent tissue papers and non-absorbent tissue paper were used as package material in the present investigation to study the shelf-life of Thompson Seedless grapes. The packaging of polyliners with absorbent tissue papers increased the shelf-life by two days and the grapes were remain fresh for 7 days with respect to physiological loss in weight. Among the polyliners, high density polyliner was found very effective in increasing shelf-life and containing berry rot in Thompson Seedless grapes.
