How to go about choosing the right raschel mesh bag-OMAI Mesh Bag Advice
Due to the advantages of breathability, lightweight, and low cost, mesh bags are often used for packaging vegetables and fruits. The design of mesh bags is intended for storage, transportation, and enhancing the appearance of products, thereby increasing the market value of fruits and vegetables. Mesh bags have also become the primary choice of packaging material for farmers and growers worldwide. There are many types of mesh bags, and the varieties chosen differ across countries and regions. In this article, we will discuss in detail how to select the right raschel mesh bag.                                                                           

Get to know the Raschel mesh bag

Raschel mesh bags are made from PE material and are woven using a special warp knitting technique, which gives them a certain degree of elasticity and strong UV resistance. They are currently very popular in Europe, the United States, and the Middle East. They are also used in some regions of South America and Africa. 

Classification of raschel mesh bag

From a density perspective, they can be classified into normal mesh and small mesh. Small mesh has a denser structure and can bear heavier weights, making it suitable for packaging heavier items. 

From a usage perspective, they can be categorized into onion raschel mesh bags, potato raschel mesh bags, fruit raschel mesh bags, firewood raschel mesh bags, etc. Typically, the choice of color varies depending on the different items being packaged. 

From the perspective of usage methods, they can be divided into single raschel mesh bags and raschel mesh bag rolls. With the increase in labor costs, more and more farmers are opting for automated packaging equipment, making raschel mesh bag rolls the most suitable option for automated packaging systems.

How to choose the right raschel mesh bag for you?

  • Different vegetables and fruits are packaged in raschel mesh bags of various colors

Potatoes are mainly packaged in purple, red, and yellow. Red onions are primarily in red and purple. Carrots are mostly in red and orange. Beets and cabbage are mainly in green. White onions and white radishes are primarily in white. Oranges are packaged in orange. This is because using different colored mesh bags makes the appearance of the corresponding fruits and vegetables more attractive. The mesh can also conceal product defects.

  • Different usage scenarios require different types of mesh bags

If you are an individual or using them in small quantities, please choose a single raschel mesh bag, as it does not require automated equipment, which will significantly reduce your investment. Typically, each raschel mesh bag comes with a drawstring, making manual packaging more convenient. If you have automated packaging equipment, please opt for raschel mesh bag rolls, as they are your best choice.

  • Vegetable and fruit vegetable raschel mesh bag strength

It is a common belief that the heavier the mesh, the stronger it is (increased thickness and/or increased weave density). However, this is not always the case - the strength of vegetable mesh depends to a large extent on the quality of the raw materials used (the main raw materials, and the production process).

  • Regular sizes and weights of raschel mesh bags

Hand-packed vegetable mesh bags for fruits and vegetables are available in the following sizes. 
- Mesh 50 * 80 - capacity of 35-40 kg. 
- Mesh 45 * 75 - capacity up to 30 kg.
- Mesh 40 * 60 - capacity up to 17 kg.
