Green Bean Packaging
perforated gusseted bags for fresh green beans, designed for airflow, strength, and clean retail presentation.
Custom Green Bean Bags: Built for Western Canada's Growers
Friesen Plastics produces a 1-pound green bean bag with a bottom gusset, designed for retail display of fresh green beans. Our gusseted construction gives the bag a stable base when filled, while perforation ensures proper airflow to maintain the snap and colour that consumers expect.
Green beans are highly perishable and respire rapidly after harvest. Our 1.4 mil perforated bags create a modified atmosphere inside the package that slows respiration, reduces moisture loss, and extends shelf life. The 3-inch bottom gusset gives filled bags a stable, upright footprint on retail shelves. This same packaging format is also ideal for snap peas, snow peas, and wax beans.
