European Client Focus: Anti-Vibration Packaging Manual for Garlic from Loading to Palletizing

How European Buyers Are Solving Garlic Transport Losses with Smart 10kg Mesh Packaging

Every year, European importers lose an estimated 7–12% of their garlic during cross-border transport due to poor packaging and handling—especially when moving from Mediterranean farms to German or Dutch warehouses. The root cause? Inadequate airflow, inconsistent stacking, and lack of temperature control. But one solution is gaining traction across the EU: the 10kg mesh bag.

Why Standardized Mesh Bags Outperform Traditional Jute

Unlike jute sacks that trap moisture and promote mold growth, our 10kg mesh bags feature a patented breathable structure with over 200 evenly spaced micro-perforations per square meter. This design reduces internal humidity by up to 40% compared to sealed polybags—a critical factor in preventing fungal spoilage during long-haul shipping.

From Loading to Delivery: A Step-by-Step Anti-Vibration Protocol

Our logistics partners in Spain and Italy report a 65% reduction in damage claims after adopting this system. Key steps include:

• Pre-loading inspection: Ensure each bag is filled to 95% capacity—not too tight, not too loose—for optimal weight distribution.
• Cold-chain compliance: Store at 4–8°C throughout transit; use insulated containers if temperatures exceed 12°C for more than 2 hours.
• Stacking rule: Max 8 layers on pallets, with interlayer paper separators to reduce friction-induced abrasion.

One case study from a Belgian distributor shows how switching to mesh bags cut their post-delivery rejection rate from 9.3% to just 2.1% within three months. They also saved €1,200/month in warehouse labor costs thanks to easier sorting and better space utilization.

Green Logistics Isn’t Optional—It’s Strategic

The EU Green Deal demands sustainable supply chains. By choosing reusable mesh bags (which can be cleaned and reused up to 15 times), companies lower waste output and meet ESG benchmarks. One German buyer noted that their carbon emissions per shipment dropped by 30% simply by switching from single-use plastics to mesh solutions.
