FAQs

How many potatoes can one sack hold?

Each sack can hold approximately 15kg of potatoes.

Can I store my potatoes if they are slightly damp?

No, it is crucial that potatoes are completely dry before placing them in the sacks. Storing damp potatoes will lead to moisture buildup and spoilage.

Are these sacks reusable?

Yes, the heavy-duty paper construction makes them durable enough for reuse, provided they are kept dry and clean between uses.

What material are the sacks made from?

They are made from multi-layered, heavy-duty paper.

Are the sacks eco-friendly?

Yes, they are eco-friendly and recyclable after use.

What are the dimensions of the sack?

Each sack measures 57.5cm (22.6 inches) in height and 45cm (17.7 inches) in width.

What is the best environment to store these sacks in?

The ideal environment is cool, dark, and dry. Avoid humid or damp locations.

Troubleshooting

Sack feels damp or shows signs of moisture.

Ensure potatoes were thoroughly dry before filling. Move sacks to a drier location and allow them to air out. Consider using fewer sacks to improve air circulation around them.

Potatoes inside are sprouting or soft.

This indicates suboptimal storage conditions (too warm, too much light, or moisture). Check storage environment for temperature and humidity. Remove any affected potatoes immediately to prevent spread.

Sack tears when full.

Ensure potatoes are not packed too tightly, exceeding the approximate 15kg capacity. Distribute weight evenly. Handle the filled sack with care, lifting from the base rather than just the top.
