Leno Mesh maximizes airflow for maximum profit.

Imagine instantly losing 13.3% of your entire production, before it even reaches the customer. That massive, preventable Food Loss is the current reality that is reducing profit margins across the global agri-food industry. This devastating Supply Chain Loss is a direct result of poor packaging that fails to meet the product’s ventilation requirements. The solution is clear: optimal airflow. This is why the 360-Degree Ventilation system of the Leno Mesh Bag is not just an upgrade, it is an intelligent commercial investment.

The UN FAO, citing the latest available metrics for the Food Loss Index, confirms that approximately 13.3% (based on 2023 data) of food produced is lost between harvest and retail. This has a significant direct financial impact on producers and exporters. 

Minimizing moisture and heat accumulation is crucial to maximizing shelf life and achieving food loss reduction. The strategic shift begins by establishing the technical standard of optimal harvest care, the 360-Degree Ventilation. 

A. The advantages of the 360-degree ventilation system of Leno mesh bags

The optimal performance begins with design, the Leno Mesh Bag is designed as a strategic tool to overcome post-harvest failures through optimal air management.

1. Provide Optimal Airflow with 360-Degree Ventilation

The main feature of Leno Mesh Bag is the 360-Degree Ventilation design. Unlike conventional packaging, the strong, woven mesh allows air to flow freely across the whole surface of the produce. This feature is crucial because respiration occurs continuously in fresh goods, generating heat and moisture. The 360-degree ventilation feature of the Leno Mesh Bag, produced by PT Indo Cali Plast, ensures continuous and optimal airflow. This feature quickly removes heat and moisture, keeping products at the ideal temperature and humidity during logistics and storage. This Strategy is the first step in minimizing Supply Chain Loss.

2. Securing Load: Durability and Visibility Advantages

Effective Food Loss Reduction requires durable and reliable packaging alongside optimal airflow. The Leno Mesh Bag from PT Indo Cali Plast offers high durability and tear-resistance, protecting produce from physical damage during handling, a frequent cause of post-harvest loss. Furthermore, the mesh design ensures full 360-degree visibility. This transparency not only speeds up logistics but also enables quick and accurate produce sorting. As a result, the  quality of fresh produce is maintained, food loss is reduced, and operational profits increase.

B. Operational Risk: The Impact of Packaging Without 360-Degree Ventilation

When standard containers are not provided with 360-degree ventilation, they might become a thermal hazard, turning operational risk into certain financial loss. Food loss is a guaranteed outcome.

1. Trapped heat and Moisture: Direct Cause of Product Spoilage

Packaging without enough mesh or venting cannot function effectively, it traps the heat and moisture that the product releases. This lack of optimal airflow creates a humid air. This speeds up microbial growth and decay, leading to disastrous 40-50% losses for perishable goods in vulnerable supply chains (FAO, 2011). For a producer, this failure results in high rejection rates and costly Supply Chain Loss. Protecting product quality requires the guaranteed airflow such as that which Leno Mesh is designed to deliver.

2. Double Damage: Resource Waste and Quality Failure 

When spoilage occurs, the impact is two-fold, not only resources such as water, labor, and energy are lost, but quality failures also impact market reputation. Packaging without proper ventilation accelerates the decay cycle, leading to increased Food Loss and wasted resources. By reducing this Food Loss, the 360-Degree Ventilation system allows you to optimize resource use, meet waste reduction goals, and ultimately prevent revenue loss.

Conclusion

Addressing Food Loss is no longer just about cost, but about making smart operational decisions. As mentioned above, packaging without 360-Degree Ventilation causes quality and resource losses. The effective solution for every producer is to use packaging with proper airflow to effectively eliminate the main causes: trapped heat and moisture.
