Banana bags

United Plastic Industries (UPI) is committed to providing high-quality products backed by a genuine guarantee that ensures customer satisfaction and continued performance, according to the type of product and the specified usage period.

United Plastic Industries (UPI) is committed to providing specialized solutions for banana cultivation by producing high-quality polyethylene bags designed to protect banana bunches throughout their growth period.

These bags are designed to minimize crop loss, enhance fruit quality, and improve farmers’ economic returns by providing better protection and maintaining a suitable environment for banana ripening on the plant.

Banana bags are plastic films, often made from LLDPE and LDPE materials, and are used to wrap banana bunches while they are still on the plant.

These bags act as a protective shield around the fruit, protecting it from:

  • Insects and agricultural pests
  • Harsh weather conditions such as wind, rain, and hail
  • Mechanical damage such as scratches and friction during growth or handling

The bags also help create a microclimate around the bunch with more stable temperature and humidity, which supports uniform ripening, better fruit color, and higher quality at harvest.

Warranty

UPI banana bags come with a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects when stored and used under recommended conditions.

The warranty covers:

  • Consistent thickness throughout the roll or bundle
  • Bag flexibility and resistance to tensile and tearing under normal operating conditions
  • Bag stability when exposed to sunlight within the expected service life
