What Sets Fox Packaging Apart

In an industry that thrives on freshness and visual appeal, we understand the importance of packaging that performs at the highest level. Our Fox Fresh Mesh® and Fox Fresh Mesh Combo® bags are prime examples of how we blend functionality with sustainability to support the citrus market.

Key features that differentiate our packaging solutions include:

• Breathability: Our mesh bags promote air circulation and allow moisture to pass through, which is critical for maintaining the freshness and longevity of citrus products. This helps reduce spoilage and waste, ensuring consumers receive the freshest product possible.
• Durability and Protection: Our one-dimensional mesh ensures that delicate citrus fruits are not damaged during transport or handling, offering protection while also showcasing the product’s quality.
• Environmental Responsibility: We are committed to responsible packaging, using materials that are both functional and sustainable. Our designs prioritize product integrity while considering environmental impact, without compromising the performance of the packaging.
• Customizable Branding: With over 10 mesh colors available, our packaging allows brands to create a distinctive visual presence in the marketplace. This flexibility ensures that your product stands out on crowded store shelves, boosting consumer recognition and brand loyalty.

Our packaging solutions are designed with your brand in mind, ensuring your story is told through impactful, visually appealing packaging.

Marketing Strategy: Packaging as a Tool for Storytelling

Packaging can be a powerful tool for storytelling. Consumers today are not just purchasing produce; they are buying into brands that align with their values, such as sustainability, quality, and lifestyle. That’s why we focus on creating packaging that effectively communicates these important messages.

• Sustainability Awareness: In an era where environmental responsibility is increasingly top-of-mind for both consumers and retailers, our packaging solutions emphasize responsible sourcing and design. Our breathable mesh bags not only extend the life of citrus products—reducing food waste—but they are also designed with recyclability and minimal environmental impact in mind.
• Health and Freshness: Citrus fruits are synonymous with health benefits, and our packaging reinforces this perception by preserving the natural freshness and flavor of the produce.
• Consumer Convenience: With the rise of online grocery shopping and delivery services like Instacart, Uber Eats, and DoorDash, Consumers often rely on packaging as a signal of quality and trust, particularly when they are not physically selecting their produce. Our Fox Fresh Mesh® and Wicketed® bags provide consistent quality and makes it easier for retail employees to efficiently assemble orders for store pickups and deliveries.

By combining functional excellence with compelling storytelling, we help citrus brands create an emotional connection with consumers that goes beyond the product itself.

• Partnership and Collaboration: We work closely with citrus producers, packers, and retailers to understand their specific needs and provide customized solutions that protect their products, enhance their brand, and meet their sustainability goals.
• Innovation at the Forefront: From our Fox Fresh Mesh® bags to our growing portfolio of pouch bag applications, we continue to push the boundaries of packaging innovation. Our goal is to stay ahead of market trends and regulatory changes, ensuring that our customers always have access to the latest advancements in packaging technology.
• Sustainability as a Core Principle: We believe that responsible packaging is essential to the future of the produce industry. That’s why we are dedicated to developing packaging that not only preserves the quality of fresh produce but also aligns with environmental standards.
