STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE: HOW TO BUY PRODUCE TIES
1. Calculate your daily volume. High volume necessitates spool form products for automatic packaging machines.
2. Identify the environment. If produce will be heavily iced or misted, specify PET, PE, or tear-resistant paper.
3. Design your labeling requirements, ensuring there is adequate space for barcodes, PLU numbers, and origin data.
4. Request samples to test on your specific produce to ensure no stem damage occurs during bundling.
5. Place bulk orders factoring in seasonal harvest peaks.
