FAQs

How many potatoes can a sack hold?

Each paper potato sack is designed to hold up to 25kg of potatoes, depending on their size and shape.

Can I use these sacks for onions and carrots too?

Yes, these breathable paper sacks are also suitable for storing onions, carrots, and other root vegetables that require good airflow.

What is the best way to store potatoes in these sacks?

For best results, ensure potatoes are dry before placing them in the sack. Store the filled sacks in a cool, dark place with temperatures below 10°C.

Are these sacks reusable?

They are primarily designed for single use. However, if kept dry and intact, some sacks can be reused for a subsequent season before being recycled.

How should I dispose of the sacks after use?

Once no longer needed, the paper potato sacks are fully recyclable with standard household paper waste.

What are the dimensions of the sacks?

Each paper potato sack measures approximately H 85cm x W 33cm.

Why is airflow important for potato storage?

Airflow helps to reduce moisture buildup and prevent sweating, which in turn significantly reduces the risk of rot and keeps potatoes in better condition for longer.

Troubleshooting

Potatoes showing signs of rot or mold.

Ensure potatoes were completely dry before storage. Check storage temperature is below 10°C and the location is dark and well-ventilated. Discard any heavily spoiled potatoes and inspect the rest.

Sack is damp or tearing easily.

The sack is likely exposed to too much moisture. Move to a drier location. If tearing, the paper may be weakening; consider using a new sack or reinforcing it if reusing.

Potatoes are sprouting prematurely.

While airflow helps, sprouting is a natural process. Ensure the storage location is as dark and cool as possible (below 10°C) to slow this down. Remove any significantly sprouted potatoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required. Simply unfold the sack and fill it with dry potatoes. For best results, ensure potatoes are clean and dry before placing them into the sack.

Compatibility: Suitable for storing potatoes, onions, carrots, and similar root vegetables that benefit from airflow. Can be used for both home-grown and commercially purchased produce.

Care: Store filled sacks in a cool, dark place with ambient temperatures consistently below 10°C (50°F). Avoid storing in damp or humid environments. While designed for single use, if kept dry and intact, sacks may be reused for subsequent seasons before recycling. Cleanliness is key to preventing mold and rot. Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated.
