Choosing the right mesh bag for your product is essential to ensure preservation, commercial presentation and logistical efficiency.
In this guide we review the four main types of mesh bags available and their optimal applications according to the product being packed.
Leno monofilament bag
The leno monofilament bag offers maximum ventilation thanks to its open structure with HDPE yarns in both warp and weft. It is the preferred choice for citrus and onions.
Its transparency allows the contents to be seen, facilitating visual quality control and improving point-of-sale presentation.
Leno mono-raffia bag
It combines monofilament in the warp with raffia in the weft, offering a balance between ventilation and mechanical strength. Ideal for heavier products such as potatoes and firewood.
The raffia provides greater tear and stacking resistance, while the monofilament maintains adequate ventilation to preserve the product.
Woven raffia and wicket format
The woven raffia bag offers maximum mechanical strength for industrial products and cereals. The wicket (Baxmatic) format is designed for high-speed automatic packing lines.
Wicket allows rates of up to 1,800 bags/hour, significantly reducing labour costs in high-volume packing plants.
