Product Information
Full details
These Fruit Punnet Storage Trays are perfect for home gardeners and produce enthusiasts looking to preserve their harvests without relying on plastic. They provide a breathable, sustainable storage environment for up to 500g of fruit or vegetables per unit, helping extend the lifespan of your crop. While these trays are durable and reusable, they are made of paper fiber, meaning they should be kept in a cool, dry environment and protected from direct moisture to maintain their structural integrity.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can these trays be washed?
No, because they are made of paper fiber, washing them with water will cause the material to degrade and lose its shape.
Are they safe for all fruits and vegetables?
Yes, they are suitable for most produce, especially firm fruits like apples, pears, and root vegetables.
How many punnets come in a package?
Each purchase includes a pack of 20 individual storage trays.
How do I use these as seed starter pots?
Fill the tray with potting soil, sow your seeds, and water sparingly. Once the seedlings are large enough, you can plant the entire fiber tray into the soil.
What is the maximum weight capacity per tray?
Each tray is designed to safely hold up to 500g of produce.
Troubleshooting
Tray becoming soft or flimsy
The tray has likely been exposed to moisture. Move your produce to a drier location and ensure the storage area has adequate airflow.
Mold appearing on the paper fiber
Discard the affected tray immediately and inspect your produce for signs of decay, which often spreads mold to the paper material.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No setup is required; the trays arrive ready to use. Simply place your clean, dry produce inside each punnet. Ensure you do not overload the trays beyond their 500g capacity to maintain the structural stability of the paper fiber walls. For care, avoid exposing the trays to liquid water, as this will soften the fibers and compromise the container. If a piece of fruit goes bad, remove it immediately to prevent cross-contamination and mold growth. To store the trays when empty, keep them in a dry place stacked inside one another to save space.
