PRODUCT FEATURES
Are these 1.5 quart molded-pulp baskets suitable for packing, transporting, and displaying fresh berries or other delicate produce?
Yes, these 1.5 quart (48 oz.) green molded-pulp baskets are specifically designed for small fruits and vegetables such as strawberries, blueberries, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms. The rigid fiber construction protects delicate items in transit while the open top offers an attractive farm-stand or grocery display.
Are the baskets food-safe and compostable?
The baskets are made from food-grade molded pulp produced from recycled paper fibers. They are free of wax or chemical coatings, making them safe for direct food contact and fully compostable in commercial or backyard composting systems.
What capacity of produce does a single basket hold?
Each basket holds approximately 1.5 quarts (about 48 fluid ounces) of product—roughly 1.25 lb of strawberries or 2 lb of blueberries, depending on the fruit size and pack style.
Do these molded-pulp baskets provide sufficient ventilation and drainage?
Yes. The ribbed side walls and slotted bottom allow air circulation and quick drainage after field washing or hydrocooling, which helps extend shelf life and reduces condensation during cold storage.
How many baskets are included per case, and what does the case weigh?
Each case contains 200 individual baskets. A full case weighs approximately 17.3 lb (7.8 kg), making it manageable for farm crews, distributors, and retailers.
What are the dimensions of a single 1.5 quart basket?
An individual basket measures about 20.2 cm × 16.3 cm × 7.6 cm (7.9 in × 6.4 in × 3.0 in), providing a broad base and shallow depth that reduces bruising while maximizing display surface.
Can the baskets be nested or stacked to save space when not in use?
Absolutely. The tapered side walls let empty baskets nest together for efficient storage. When filled, they can be cross-stacked in standard produce lugs or cartons to minimize shifting during transport.
Are these fiber baskets sturdy enough for refrigerated or outdoor market environments?
Yes. The molded-pulp fiber resists softening under refrigeration and maintains its shape in humid conditions typical of coolers or open-air markets. While lightweight, the reinforced rim and ribbed design provide dependable strength for day-long retail displays.
