Memory Net
Extruded net that gives and then holds, so it settles around whatever it carries instead of forcing the shape. Soft enough for produce that bruises, and compostable.
Choose it when the product is small, delicate and sold by count. A firm net leaves a pattern on soft skin and a loose one lets the count shift; this one stretches under load and returns, so it settles around whatever it carries. It is also compostable, which is increasingly the second question a buyer asks after the one about the fruit.

What packers use memory net for
Soft, adjustable extruded net, supplied to the count and opening your programme runs.
Garlic
Garlic is sold in small counts and bought on appearance. A soft net holds the bulbs without pressing into them, and the pack still shows what is inside.
Limes
Small-count lime packs for retail, where the net has to hold three or four pieces without marking the skin.
Shallots
The same case as garlic: small, delicate, sold by count, and judged on how the skin looks in the pack.
Tangerines
Easy-peel citrus in count packs, where a firm net leaves a grid pattern on soft skin and a memory net does not.
Figs and mango
Fruit that bruises if the pack does not give. The net adjusts as the fruit softens instead of holding a fixed shape against it.
Questions buyers ask about memory net
What makes it a "memory" net?
It stretches under load and returns, so it settles around the product rather than compressing it into the net's own shape.
Is it really compostable?
The line is made to compost at end of life. If a retailer needs certification documentation for their own reporting, ask your rep which standard applies to the specific construction — our certified compostable net tube line is tested to ASTM D6400.
When would I use this instead of knitted net?
Memory net is extruded and holds more shape; knitted net stretches more. For garlic and small citrus counts memory net usually wins. For avocado and mango graded closely on skin, look at knitted.
