Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these punnets dishwasher safe?

No, these are made from moulded pulp fibre and will disintegrate if exposed to water or high heat in a dishwasher.

Can I use these for frozen produce?

These are designed for fresh produce. Freezing may cause the material to weaken when it thaws due to moisture absorption.

What is the weight capacity of each punnet?

Each punnet is designed to hold approximately 250g of fruit.

Are these suitable for home composting?

Yes, they are made from natural plant fibres and are fully biodegradable and compostable.

Can these be recycled?

While they can technically be recycled as paper waste, they are best suited for composting to add nutrients back into the soil.

Do these come with lids?

The punnets do not include lids, but the rim is designed to be compatible with standard produce sealing films.

Troubleshooting

Punnets feel soft or damp

Ensure they are stored in a dry, ventilated area. Avoid placing them on wet surfaces before filling.

Produce is bruising during transport

Ensure the punnet is not overfilled above the rim level, and avoid stacking heavy items directly on top of the punnets.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Plastic-free and fully compostable
  • Breathable material keeps fruit fresher for longer
  • Rigid, sturdy construction protects delicate produce
  • Clean, professional appearance for commercial sales
  • Compatible with standard produce sealing methods

Cons

  • Not intended for long-term repeated use
  • Can absorb moisture if left in extremely damp conditions
  • Less transparent than plastic punnets for product visibility

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These punnets arrive flat-packed or nested and require no assembly. Simply place them on a clean, dry surface before filling them with your produce. If you are using these for retail, the rim is compatible with most standard heat-seal films or clear plastic wraps. For long-term storage, keep the punnets in a cool, dry area to prevent the fibre from softening due to ambient humidity. Once the punnets have served their purpose, they can be broken down and placed directly into your home compost bin or used as a base for worm farms.
