FAQs

How much potatoes can each sack hold?

Are these sacks suitable for long-term storage?

Yes, they are designed for optimal storage of harvested potatoes, helping to keep them fresh for longer periods when stored in a suitable cool, dark, and dry environment.

Can I wash the sacks?

It is best to avoid washing the sacks as moisture can degrade the paper. Ensure potatoes are dry before filling and if reusing, empty debris and store in a dry place.

What makes these sacks eco-friendly?

They are made from heavy-duty paper and are recyclable after use, offering a sustainable alternative to plastic storage solutions.

What are the dimensions of the sacks?

The sacks measure 57.5cm (22.6 inches) in height and 45cm (17.7 inches) in width.

Can these sacks be reused?

Yes, the heavy-duty paper construction makes them durable enough for multiple uses, provided they are kept dry and handled with care.

What happens if potatoes are stored while still wet?

Storing wet potatoes can lead to moisture buildup within the sack, increasing the risk of rot and significantly shortening their shelf life.

Troubleshooting

Moisture buildup inside the sack.

Ensure potatoes are thoroughly dry before placing them in the sack. Store the sack in a cooler, drier, and better-ventilated area.

Sack tears easily.

Handle the sack with care, especially when full. Distribute the weight evenly. If tearing persists, ensure you are not exceeding the approximate 15kg capacity.

Potatoes spoiling quickly.

Check that the storage environment is cool and dark. Ensure adequate air circulation around the sacks. Remove any visibly spoiled potatoes promptly.
