Cucumber Packaging
Cucumber bags engineered for freshness, wicket loading and retail shelf impact.
Custom Cucumber Bags, Built for Western Canada's Growers
Friesen Plastics produces a range of cucumber packaging, including zipper bags, top-fill and bottom-fill. Our cucumber packaging can combine a wicket lip for fast bagging with the clarity needed to showcase this visual product at retail. We also manufacture heat shrink films for bulk packing cucumbers.
Cucumbers require packaging that maintains humidity without creating excess condensation, a balance that's critical for preventing soft spots and extending shelf life. The packaging is also suitable for English cucumbers, mini cucumbers, and other specialty varieties.
Packaging Features
Wicket Lip
The lip carries the wicket holes, so bags bundle onto wicket wires for semi-automatic and automatic bagging.
Clear Film
Clear LLDPE showcases the deep green colour and freshness of cucumbers, a key driver of purchase decisions.
Moisture Balance
Film permeability tuned for cucumber's specific humidity needs, preventing soft spots while avoiding dehydration.
