Fruit in the fridge?

Any tips on storing fruit in the fridge please? I’m looking for some containers that I can decant berries and such like into. I’m sick of things going off because I’ve piled them up in their plastic boxes in the corner.

Ooh a few years back I tried some bags ( might've been QVC or Lakeland) they were plastic but has something like a porous chalk impregnated which absorbed
They did work but I haven't used them since

You can get boxes like Lock&Lock with a grid in the base to drain anything , and big enough to do a single layer

We keep Berry type fruit and tomatoes in glass jars with clip lids, which we purchased in The Range but are probably sold on Amazon. Keeps the fruit fresher for longer.

Keep nice big glass jars and use them.
I have been known to only buy an item because I like the size/shape of the jar😆

Why do you think it's the packaging that's making your berries go off?
Berries degrade the fastest out of all fruits, I don't think it's the container at fault, it's just because of the high water content. I would be surprised if putting them in a different tub would slow down the degradation,
