When selecting fruit packaging bags, it is necessary to integrate various factors to ensure that the fruit is properly protected, while taking into account the needs of environmental protection. ​

Select according to fruit characteristics

Different fruits have different requirements for packaging. Fruits such as apples and bananas release a lot of ethylene when they mature, speeding up the ripening of their own and surrounding fruits. It is suitable to select plastic film bags with micropores, which can adjust gas, discharge ethylene and delay maturity. And strawberries, grapes and other non-respiratory jump fruits, pay more attention to moisture, choose with air holes and lined with absorbent paper packaging, can maintain humidity, prevent rot. Soft texture, easy to bruise peaches, blueberries, to use a buffer bag, such as plastic bags with foam mesh cover, to reduce collision damage. ​

Meet the basic functions of packaging

The fruit packaging bag should have good fresh-keeping function and can adjust the gas and humidity in the bag. Air conditioning bag filled with nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc., inhibit fruit respiration; Some bags add desiccant and ethylene absorbent to maintain a suitable environment and delay fruit aging. At the same time, the packaging bag should be clearly marked with fruit varieties, origin, picking date, shelf life and other information to provide consumers with a reference for purchase. ​

Consider the environmental protection of the material

Environmental protection is the key now. Biodegradable materials are preferred, such as biodegradable plastics, like polylactic acid (PLA) materials, which can be broken down into harmless substances by microorganisms in the natural environment, reducing plastic pollution. Paper materials are also good, recyclable, low production energy consumption and pollution, some paper packaging bags are printed with water-based ink, more environmentally friendly. In addition, choosing packaging that is easy to recycle and simple in structure can improve resource utilization and reduce the burden on the environment. ​

Balance costs and benefits

Under the premise of ensuring packaging quality and function, compare the price of different materials and specifications of packaging bags, and choose cost-effective products. Although the cost of high-quality packaging may be slightly higher, it can enhance the value of fruit commodities, reduce wastage, and maximize economic benefits in the long run. Combining the above points, we can choose a suitable and environmentally friendly packaging bag for the fruit.
