Buyer’s Guide to Choosing Plastic Produce Bags

Plastic produce bags provide a practical packaging solution for fresh fruit, vegetables and other produce in supermarkets, greengrocers, markets and commercial food operations. Insinc’s range includes produce bags from Fortune and Flexoplas in a wide selection of sizes, from lightweight 0.5kg bags through to heavy-duty options for produce loads up to 20kg.

Many of the bags include ventilation holes, helping make them suitable for fresh produce packaging where airflow is required.

Which Produce Bag Size Should You Choose?

Choose the bag according to the type, quantity and weight of produce being packed. Smaller options include 0.5kg, 1kg, 1.25kg and 1.5kg bags for lighter produce, while 2kg to 5kg bags provide additional capacity for larger portions.

For bulkier or heavier produce, the range also includes specialised bags for apples, carrots, cabbage, parsnips and pumpkins, with capacities reaching up to 20kg.

Always check both the stated capacity and actual bag dimensions before ordering, as the shape and volume of different produce can vary significantly.

Why Choose Produce Bags with Holes?

Many Fortune and Flexoplas produce bags feature ventilation holes. These allow greater airflow around fresh produce compared with completely sealed plastic bags.

Specialised formats are available for specific produce types, including lettuce, apples, parsnips, carrots, cabbage and pumpkins. Flexoplas options also vary in thickness, with listings ranging from 30mu through to 100mu depending on the size and intended application.

Roll bag holders are also available for convenient dispensing at produce counters or packing stations. Some Fortune products and holders are obsolete, so contact Insinc for alternatives where required.
