How Net Bag Packaging Extends Garlic Freshness for Global Export

How Net Bag Packaging Extends Garlic Freshness for Global Export

In the competitive world of international agricultural trade, packaging isn’t just about protection—it’s a critical part of your supply chain strategy. At Yishangqiao (Hangzhou) International Trade Co., Ltd., we’ve refined our 10kg net bag packaging system specifically for fresh garlic exports to ensure consistent quality from farm to buyer.

Why Ventilation Matters More Than You Think

Our net bags are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with a mesh density of 30 holes per square inch—proven in lab tests to reduce internal humidity by up to 42% compared to sealed plastic bags during transit. This design allows airflow while minimizing moisture buildup, which is key to preventing mold and sprouting during long-haul shipping.

Cold Chain Synergy: From Farm to Freezer

When paired with controlled cold storage between -3°C and 0°C—a standard practice in modern logistics—we see an average shelf life extension of 21 days for garlic. A case study from a European importer showed that our net-packed garlic retained its firmness and flavor after 35 days of refrigerated transport, outperforming competitors’ products by nearly 30% in sensory evaluation.

Agricultural Management Meets Packaging Innovation

We don’t stop at packaging—we work closely with certified growers who follow Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). This ensures each garlic bulb starts clean and dry, reducing contamination risk before it even enters the bag. When combined with our ventilation-focused design, this creates a powerful synergy that supports year-round consistency in quality, regardless of harvest season or destination market.

Whether you're sourcing garlic for foodservice, retail, or processing, choosing the right packaging can make all the difference—not just in appearance, but in shelf life, safety, and profitability.
