All Mesh Bags
Air on every side. It is the long-standing format in the field because freshly cut product gives off moisture and heat, and in mesh it neither condenses nor suffocates. Closed with clip, stitch or seal, depending on each operation's equipment.
Choose it when ventilation beats presentation. There is no film face, so there is almost no print area — this is a working bag, not a shelf bag. If the pack has to carry brand artwork for a retail programme, a combo bag or a header bag is the right call, and those formats exist precisely because mesh does not print. What you get instead is uninterrupted airflow for days, which is what freshly cut product needs while it is still giving off heat and moisture.
Typical use cases
- Onion, potato, lime and citrus
- Seafood and firewood in the industrial version

What packers use all mesh bags for
Automatic wicket bag systems. Closed with clip, stitch or seal, depending on what your operation already runs. All our wicketed bags →
Onion
The default onion pack in most of the world. Full ventilation around the bulb is what keeps the neck dry, and a dry neck is what keeps the bag from rotting in the middle of a pallet.
Potato
Potatoes need air and darkness. Mesh gives the air; the mesh colour is what you adjust to control how much light reaches the tuber.
Lime
Limes are packed warm from the field and travel far. Mesh takes the field heat out of the load instead of trapping it, which is what keeps the fruit from breaking down in transit.
Citrus
Oranges and grapefruit in volume. The mesh colour is chosen to make the fruit read brighter, which is why citrus so often ships in red or orange net.
Seafood
In the industrial version, shellfish and similar product that has to drain and breathe while it is handled wet.
Firewood
The same construction in a heavier gauge carries firewood and bulk product that has to dry rather than sweat in the bag.
Questions buyers ask about all mesh bags
What weights do all-mesh bags cover?
1 lb to 7 lb.
What is the bag made of?
Poly and CLAF® net.
Can I print on an all-mesh bag?
Very little. Mesh is not a print surface. If the pack has to carry brand artwork, a combo bag or a header bag is the right format — those exist precisely because mesh does not print.
How is it closed?
Clip, stitch or heat seal. If your retailer will not accept metal staples in the bag, look at heat-sealed mesh, which closes with heat and leaves no staple and no loose thread.

Your onion bag didn't fail. Your onions sweated.
Rot almost never starts where the bag broke. It starts at the neck, days earlier, and by the time anyone opens the pallet the bag gets the blame.
