Knowing that the freshness that produce bags are able to supply are only as good as the closures on them, Jennie Freeman from Organic Girl set out to design a better way to maintain the freshness of romaine hearts.
The produce bag manufactured by Emerald Packaging includes several details to lock in freshness, such as anti-fog features to prevent the buildup of moisture, as well as a Velcro closure. In contrast to the standard zipper closure, this makes the process of fastening the standing bag much more secure. The design is completed with a handle that makes it extremely easy to grab a bag of the lettuce and go.
Because this produce pouch prominently displays the lettuce through the clear front window, this winning combination of design elements lessens the chance of a consumer coming across wilted lettuce.
