Bags especially designed formelon packaging and preservation during transportation and storage; they help protect fruit from dehydration, damage due to storage conditions, also help prevent melons to be contaminated by external biological agents such as insects, fungus, and bacteria; their main function is to lengthen shelf life.
We have three kinds of Melon bags:
Melon Pack:Transparent polyethylene bags used mainly for cantaloupes and honey dew melons.
The Melon Pack bags are produced with the following characteristics:
-
Perforated and non-perforated
-
Thickness of 19 to 38 µ (0.75 to 1.5 mils)
-
Width and length measures are determined by box size
-
Recommendable for short trips of up to 10 days after packaging in optimum temperature conditions
Fresh Pack:This is a bag developed for packing cantaloupe melons. It offers benefits that make it a perfect choice when exporting fresh melons.
Olefinas fabricates this bag with a blend of special polyethylene resins that, unlike the Melon Pack, helps remove water produced by fruit transpiration.
The Fresh Prack bags are recommendable for trips of up to 17 days after packaging in optimum temperature conditions.
Xtra fresh:
This is a bag used for packing melons that allows gas exchange, creating a favorable controlled environment in its interior that preserves fruit characteristics during transport and storage, allowing also the increase of shelf life.
Xtra fresh bags are fabricated with special resins which help maintain a controlled atmosphere, especially of moist variables and carbon dioxide and oxygen variables. They are recommended for trips of up to 25 days and their size is relative to the size of the box that will be used.
