📏 Bag Size
-
Flat measurement: 1600 mm × 800 mm

🎨 Bag Colour Layout
Each bag features:
-

-
Middle: 80 cm silver reflective band (wraps around the bag)
-

The silver reflective area reduces sunburn by bouncing harmful UV rays away from the fruit.
✉️ Postage
For urgent orders, we recommend selecting Express Post where available.
🌈 Why Blue Plastic?
Banana growers use different coloured bags throughout the season to track bagging dates and fruit development.
Some bags include a silver section to reflect heat and UV.
👉 Always position the silver side facing the sun to reduce heat stress and protect the bunch.
🌬️ Bag Design – Open at Both Ends
These covers are open at both the top and bottom.
How to use:
-
Tie the top loosely with string or a zip-tie
-
Leave the bottom open to allow ventilation and to hang below the last hand of fruit
This design maintains airflow while still retaining the natural ripening gases around the bunch.
🦇 Protecting the Bunch
Apply a bunch cover once the bananas start curving upward.
Birds and fruit bats—especially flying foxes—often move across the bunch to reach the flower nectar, causing scratches and bruising.
Important:
Do not leave ripe fruit on the tree. The scent attracts bats and can result in severe damage. Bunch covers help minimise this risk and improve fruit quality.
