Size Grades

Pick the count that fits your market.

We grade to three standard bands. Tell us your destination and we'll advise which grade moves best there.

25/35 mm+
Small (25mm+, 35mm+)

Smaller count, strong value grade. Common for markets that price on the bag and cook in volume.

45 mm+
Medium (45mm+) — Most Demanded

The all-round export size. Best balance of shelf appearance and yield for most Gulf and Asian buyers.

55/60 mm+
Large (55mm+, 60mm+)

Bold counts for retail and premium display. Firmer price, packed on confirmed order.

Packing Options

Packed for the lane, not a generic spec.

Ventilated HDPE mesh in the weight your buyer sells in — from 5 kg retail bags to 25 kg wholesale.

4–10 kgRetail Mesh
20–25 kgWholesale Mesh
Jute BagCustom Weight
50 kgBulk (Max)

Ventilation that earns its keep

Open-weave HDPE mesh keeps air moving through the pallet, slowing heat build-up and spoilage across the sea leg — the difference between arriving sound and arriving soft.

Marking & documentation

Bags marked to your requirement — grade, net weight, origin. Every shipment ships with matching documents so customs and your buyer read the same record.
