Custom & Wholesale Vented Produce Bags
Vented produce bags are breathable storage bags designed to extend the freshness of fruits, vegetables, and herbs by allowing airflow. Unlike airtight plastic bags, their perforated or mesh-like structure regulates moisture and reduces spoilage caused by trapped ethylene gas or condensation
- Enhanced Airflow:
- Perforations, mesh fabric, or micro-holes promote circulation, slowing mold growth and preventing over-ripening.
- Ideal for ethylene-sensitive produce (e.g., leafy greens, berries, herbs).
- Moisture Control:
- Breathable materials reduce condensation, which can accelerate decay.
- Eco-Friendly Options:
- Reusable mesh or organic cotton bags minimize single-use plastic waste.
- Visibility & Organization:
- Transparent mesh or clear panels allow easy identification of contents.
- Versatility:
- Use in refrigerators, pantries, or for grocery shopping (as reusable produce bags).
Common Uses
- Refrigerator Storage: Extend shelf life of delicate produce (e.g., spinach, mushrooms, strawberries).
- Countertop Storage: Store onions, garlic, or citrus in breathable bags to avoid rot.
- Farmers’ Markets/Grocery Shopping: Replace single-use plastic bags for eco-friendly shopping.
- Herb Preservation: Keep herbs fresh longer with airflow and humidity control.
