Produce Mesh Bags

Leno weave produce bags for growers, packhouses, and wholesale

Mesh produce bags are the standard packaging format for fresh produce operations — used across onions, garlic, potatoes, citrus, nuts, seafood, and firewood. The leno weave structure provides the airflow needed to maintain product freshness from field to market, with the tensile strength to handle commercial filling, transport, and retail display.

Ritex supplies mesh produce bags in sizes from 2.5 kg through to 1-tonne bulk configurations. Bags are available with or without drawstrings, and custom size, colour, weight, and print options are available by order. Standard stock is held in New Zealand for fast turnaround on common sizes.

Why choose Ritex’s produce mesh bags?

  • Ritex mesh produce bags are manufactured from leno weave polypropylene — a construction method that interlocks warp and weft threads to create a stable, open mesh structure. This provides consistent airflow across the full surface of the bag, reducing moisture buildup and heat retention during storage and transit. The result is produce that arrives in better condition with less spoilage. Suited to onions, garlic, potatoes, citrus, and any produce where ventilation is critical to shelf life.

  • Ritex mesh bags are compatible with wicket machines and Baxmatic filling systems, supporting high-speed, automated packing lines in packhouse and processing environments. Bags are produced to consistent dimensional tolerances to perform reliably across filling cycles without misfeeds or jams. For manual filling operations, drawstring closures are available to speed up the packing process.
