Flexible packaging is a versatile, lightweight solution designed to protect and preserve fresh produce, potatoes, shellfish, and other perishable items. Made from pliable materials like mesh or films, it enhances freshness with superior airflow, extends shelf life, and reduces spoilage. With customizable designs and eco-friendly options, flexible packaging offers durability, visibility, and sustainability for a wide range of products.
Mesh packaging is a breathable, lightweight solution designed to protect and display fresh produce, potatoes, shellfish, and more. Its open-weave design allows airflow to maintain freshness, reduce spoilage, and extend shelf life.
Back in 1994, we introduced the Fox Fresh Mesh® bag, one of the first mesh bags designed for manual or semi-automatic filling. This innovation marked the start of our retail packaging programs and remains a trusted solution today. Its breathable design keeps produce, like red potatoes, fresh and ready for shoppers while offering eco-friendly and customizable options.
Mesh packaging offers a unique combination of practicality and efficiency, making it ideal for fresh produce, potatoes, and shellfish. Its breathable, open-weave design promotes airflow, reducing moisture and spoilage while extending shelf life. Lightweight yet durable, it ensures products are protected during transport and handling. Mesh packaging also enhances product visibility, allowing consumers to inspect items easily.
The choice between mesh and plastic packaging depends on product needs, environmental goals, and consumer preferences. Mesh packaging excels in breathability, making it ideal for fresh produce and shellfish by reducing condensation and spoilage. Its transparency enhances product appeal, and eco-friendly options align with sustainability goals.
Plastic packaging, on the other hand, offers versatility in design and superior barrier protection, making it suitable for items requiring a sealed environment. While durable and customizable, its environmental impact is a growing concern.
Ultimately, mesh is often preferred for products benefiting from airflow and visibility, while plastic suits items needing airtight protection. Brands weigh these factors to meet functional and sustainability demands.
