Unlike polyethylene plastic bags, air can enter the bag very well. This means that vegetables, fruits and citrus are well ventilated, don't rot and stay fresher for longer. And they are also completely visible, allowing you to visually determine their quality and condition.

The packaging is woven with special knots so the edges don't come apart along the cut lines. This adds strength to the container and makes it easy to use.

The finished product is in the form of a long sleeve of a certain width, with a drawstring inserted periodically. Mesh bag rolls for automatic mechanical filling. Mesh bags for manual filling are also available. They are delivered in already cut packaging packages. Like the rolls, they are finished with a rope bundle. These manually filled mesh bags for vegetables are intended for private or small businesses.

All products are SGS certified and are absolutely ecologically produced. They can come into contact with food and pose no threat to people or the environment.

Package size and volume
Mesh bags, although they can be stretched, have their own size and capacity limits, just like any other container. Therefore, in front of gardeners, farmers, and owners of automatic packaging lines, it is necessary to choose not only the color but also the size of the package.
For the retail trade of vegetables, it is better to choose 2.5-10 kg packages to facilitate handling by the purchaser.
For storage and transportation of products, packages of 20-40 kg are the best choice.
Wholesale warehouses and hypermarkets most often buy packages of maximum capacity.
In supermarkets you can find nets of various sizes: from 2.5 to 40 kg.

If you do not intend to sell fruits and vegetables from your own garden, choose bags that do not weigh more than 40 kg. They can immediately load the entire crop and transport it to the storage location. In this way, you will save time, gasoline costs and useful area for storage itself. But all sizes of nets are suitable for retail trade: some buyers want only 5-10 kg potatoes, while others will buy cabbage, carrots, onions for the whole winter.

According to statistics, mesh pockets with a load of 2.5-10 kg are the most popular among consumers. This kind of packaging has the widest range. Therefore, it is ordered in large quantities. 20kg-40kg bulk packaging is mainly used in warehouses, wholesale warehouses. For this purpose, 50x80 cm 45*75 CM mesh bags for vegetables are perfect.

Any mesh bag purchased must be absolutely intact, with no broken threads or loose edges. The weave must also be uniform, which determines the quality and strength of the product. It is important to pay attention to these points when choosing a product.

We offer strong and durable packaging material. It can be stored in the warehouse for years and the quality remains the same. Absolutely does not succumb to decay, moisture and UV rays. It does not dry out in the sun, keeping its shade and elasticity.

•  Due to the woven structure, vegetable mesh bags ensure breathability and a good view of the contained goods. This is important for the final purchaser of the product.
•  The connection of the threads with special knots does not allow the bag to unravel in the gap area or in the area of the cut lines. Moreover, the position of the cut must be determined on the sleeve of the automatic packaging.
•  For ease of use, drawstrings are provided in the mesh bags. You do not need to find temporary material to pull the mesh.
•  Labels and logos can be attached. In this way, you can highlight the products of specific suppliers, brands. Accordingly, attract buyers' interest and quality goods.
  

Fruits and vegetables are packed in mesh bags to neatly decorate supermarket sections, store counters or market product displays. Products packed in this way are stored longer and less damaged than those stacked in boxes and do not spoil. However, it is more convenient in terms of transportation, weighing, because it does not require additional packaging.

Production Technology
The main raw material for the production of mesh bags is high-density pure polyethylene granules. They are well melted by extrusion and a rather thin (60-80 microns) but very strong and flexible polyethylene sleeve is obtained. This sleeve is cooled, wound into a roll and sent to the slitter. Here, the roll is gradually unwound and unrolled into narrow strips with the help of numerous sharp blades. These strips are fed to a heated plate where they are drawn into the desired length of wire. The threads are wound into spools and sent to the finishing loom.

Knitting completion.

•  Full sleeves.
•  Firm side seams.
•  Automatic knitting of a drawstring.

A special feature of this process is that each side of the mesh bag is knitted separately. For this purpose, yarn is fed in from both sides of the knitting machine. The sides of the canvas are then sewn together and the bottom is knitted.

The braided sleeves are wound into 10 m rolls and transferred to the line for forming and cutting the bags. Here a table with knives (heated blades) is installed. The sleeves are automatically unwound, kept in tension and cut to the desired length. The position of the cut is indicated by a special horizontal stripe. With the help of the knife, the edges of the cut are melted, which additionally protects the thread from falling apart. The prepared bags are stacked on a separate table and packed into packages. It is in this form that you can buy such mesh bags for commercial or personal use.

Ways to reduce product costs without losing quality

The highest quality packaging is made from virgin plastic pellets. However, these raw materials are very expensive and not always affordable for most consumers. According to production standards, primary pellets are allowed to be mixed with recycled materials, with stabilizing elements added to maintain the performance characteristics of the finished product.

• We strictly control the percentage of particles of primary and secondary raw materials.
• The components are mixed thoroughly and melted uniformly in the extruder.
• Color pigments are added during the extrusion process.
• We use special additives to protect the polymer products from the damaging effects of UV radiation.
  

Even with the addition of recycled materials, our mesh bag will not tear. Yes, it has a slightly lower ultimate load, but it's perfect for reuse. This packaging retains an aesthetically pleasing appearance and eliminates broken threads or seams in the seams. Any vegetable mesh bag (you'll find photos in the product card) can be used in the field, in unheated warehouses, in cellars, and on trading floors.
