Nets for mango, packed at different ripeness stages and softening in the pack.
Mango is packed at one ripeness and arrives at another. The fruit keeps softening and changing shape inside the pack, which means a net that fitted correctly at the packhouse can be fighting the fruit by the time it reaches the shelf — and a mango that has been fought by its own packaging shows it.
What mango wants is a net that keeps adjusting: firm enough to hold the count in place, elastic enough to follow the fruit as it gives.
Same crop, different trade-offs. What separates them is how much air, how much print area and how gently the pack holds the product.
Mangos are packed at different ripeness stages and keep changing shape in the pack. An elastic net holds the fruit without fighting it as it softens.
See Knitted Net (Soft Woven) specifications →Fruit that bruises if the pack does not give. The net adjusts as the fruit softens instead of holding a fixed shape against it.
See Memory Net specifications →Knitted soft-woven net for fruit graded on skin condition, because it stretches and settles around the shape. Memory net for smaller counts, which gives under load and then holds.
Because it keeps changing shape in the pack. A net that holds a fixed shape ends up pressing against fruit that has softened, and the mark shows at the receiving end.
Memory net is compostable and suits the small-count presentations.
