Product Information

Full details

Designed for small-scale growers, farm shops, and market sellers, these 250g biodegradable pulp fibre punnets offer a plastic-free, sustainable solution for presenting soft fruits and delicate vegetables. They provide a rigid, breathable structure that protects produce while maintaining a professional aesthetic, though users should note that they are intended for single-use composting rather than long-term moisture-heavy storage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these punnets dishwasher safe?

No, these are single-use, biodegradable containers made of plant fibre and are not designed to be washed or reused.

Can I use these for frozen produce?

These punnets are not intended for freezer storage, as the moisture released during thawing may compromise the structural integrity of the fibre.

Are they food safe?

Yes, they are manufactured specifically for food-grade contact and the presentation of fresh produce.

Do they come with lids?

This product does not come with integrated lids, but the smooth rim is designed to accept standard heat-seal films.

What is the exact size of the punnets?

Each punnet measures 13.5cm long x 11.5cm wide x 5.3cm tall.

Will these compost in my home garden bin?

Yes, as they are made of natural plant fibre, they are suitable for home composting and will break down over time.

Troubleshooting

Punnets are bending or feeling soft.

This is likely due to moisture exposure during storage; ensure they are kept in a dry, humidity-controlled environment before use.

Difficulty sealing the top of the punnet.

Ensure you are using a compatible heat-seal film and that the rim is clean and dry before attempting to bond the seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These punnets arrive nested, making them easy to store in a compact space until you are ready to pack. To ensure the best experience:

  1. Storage: Keep the unused punnets in their original packaging in a cool, dry place to prevent premature softening.
  2. Packing: Do not overfill; allow enough space for the produce to breathe. If using a film sealer, ensure your heat-sealing equipment is set to a low temperature to prevent scorching the fibre.
  3. Disposal: Once the product has been sold and the punnet is empty, encourage customers to place the container directly into their home compost bin or garden waste collection, as they are fully biodegradable.
