US interest in Velcro sealed grape bags is reported to be growing, the branded sealant manufacturer claimed.
Velcro said the demand is being driven through the acceptance of the bag from major US grocery chains, who are calling on their growers to pre-pack using the bags.
A spokesman said: “Utilising patented technology, Velcro brand re-closeable grape bags provide numerous benefits over traditional grape bags.
“They are fast and easy to close providing the ultimate in convenience to both merchandisers and the end consumer.
“In addition, because they do not use any moving parts, such as a slider, retailers can be confident that bags containing grapes will remain in good working condition from the time they are packed to when they are disposed of by the consumer.”
