The work aims to investigate the protective performance of different e-commerce packaging materials for winter peaches after vibration and evaluate the damage levels proposed by different testing standards. Winter peaches "Yingshuanghong" were taken as the research object and three cushioning packaging types including corrugated cardboard (P1), EPE stretch tray (P2), and bubble-compressed paper (P3) were adopted to carry out simulated transportation experiments and measure key quality parameters, including weight loss rate, browning index (BI), total soluble solids (TSS), and titratable acidity (TA). The optimal packaging was selected and the ISTA 6A and 3L standards were applied to validate the packaging performance. The bubble-compressed paper (P3) exhibited the lowest sweep frequency transmissibility, with the weight loss of winter peaches increasing by only 1.4% and the changes in BI value, TSS and TA less than those in P1 and P2, demonstrating superior protective effects compared to P1 and P2. Under 6A standard testing, the maximum weight loss of peaches in this packaging was 4.6%, while BI, TSS, and TA remained stable, significantly outperforming the 3L standard. In conclusion, the bubble-compressed paper (P3) provides the most effective protection for winter peaches, meeting both ISTA 6A and 3L standards. Notably, the ISTA 3L standard imposes stricter requirements on packaging performance.
