Packing protects garlic, communicates product information and helps the buyer handle the shipment efficiently. The right format depends on bulb size, sales channel, route, climate and local labeling requirements.
Common packing formats
- Retail mesh: 250 g, 500 g or 1 kg reference formats
- Retail box: 500 g or 1 kg presentation packs
- Bulk mesh: 5 kg or 10 kg sacks
- Export carton: 10 kg or 20 kg reference formats
- Customized packing: agreed color, brand, label, count or net weight
Why ventilation matters
Garlic continues to respond to temperature and humidity after harvest. Breathable mesh and properly designed cartons help release moisture and heat.
Protecting the bulbs
Packing should reduce crushing without restricting airflow. Cartons must be strong enough for stacking through inland transport, storage and ocean shipment.
Label information
Confirm product name, origin, net weight, packer or exporter information, lot code and destination-specific wording before production. Artwork should be approved in writing.
Final checklist
Match the packing to the bulb grade, channel and route. Confirm net weight, material, ventilation, label, carton strength, pallet requirements and inspection standard before shipment.
