PRODUCT FEATURES
Are these 1-quart green pulp baskets suitable for packaging fresh berries and other small produce?
Yes, these molded fiber baskets are specifically designed for strawberries, blueberries, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and other delicate produce. Their open-slat design promotes air circulation, helping keep contents fresh while providing enough rigidity for farm-stand display, CSA boxes, and grocery retail environments.
Are the baskets safe for direct food contact?
Absolutely. The baskets are manufactured from food-grade molded pulp made primarily from recycled paper fibers. They meet FDA guidelines for direct contact with fresh fruits and vegetables, so you can place produce inside without the need for an additional liner.
Are these molded pulp baskets compostable or recyclable?
Yes. Because they’re made from uncoated, plant-based fiber, the baskets are fully compostable in commercial or home compost systems and can also be recycled with mixed paper streams, supporting zero-waste and sustainability initiatives.
Can these baskets be used in refrigerated or chilled displays?
They perform well in typical walk-in coolers and refrigerated retail cases. While the molded fiber tolerates condensation and short-term cold storage, prolonged exposure to free-flowing water or submersion is not recommended because the material will eventually soften.
What are the dimensions and capacity of each basket?
Each basket holds 1 quart (32 fl oz.) of product and measures approximately 5.5" L × 5.5" W × 3.25" H, the industry-standard size for a market-style 1-quart berry container.
How many baskets come in a case?
Each master case contains 250 individual baskets, conveniently bulk-packed for farm operations, produce distributors, and grocery produce departments.
Are the baskets stackable or nestable for storage and transport?
Yes. The tapered walls allow the baskets to nest inside one another, minimizing storage space. When filled, they can also be cross-stacked to create stable tiers for transport to markets or CSA deliveries.
Can I add branding or labeling to the baskets?
You can easily apply adhesive produce labels, stamp the exterior with vegetable-based inks, or slide a paper band around the basket. The porous molded pulp surface readily accepts most inks and stickers, allowing you to showcase farm logos, PLU codes, or pricing information.
