Fresh ginseng was packed by using available commercial plastic films of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), cast polypropylene (CPP) and low density polyethylene (LDPE). PVC was used as a wrapping on polystyrene tray, and CPP and LDPE were applied as pouch packages. Gas composition of the package and keeping quality of ginseng in the packages were evaluated for 20 day storage at 5$^{circ}C$. LDPE (27$mu extrm{m}$ thick) Package modified the Package atmosphere to 11.7% O2 and 2.1% CO2, gave low microbial growth and good sensory score after 20 day storage.
