The fresh produce industry continues to evolve as growers, packers, retailers, and consumers seek packaging solutions that balance performance, product protection, and changing market expectations. While traditional net packaging remains a trusted solution for many applications, manufacturers are increasingly looking for additional material options that support their packaging goals.
At ANCI, we believe innovation means giving customers choices. That’s why we’re excited to introduce two new additions to the D-NET® family: D-NET Compost™ and D-NET Renew™.
The Packaging Landscape Is Changing
Fresh produce packaging has always required a careful balance of performance and functionality. Net packaging helps promote airflow, provides excellent product visibility, and protects fresh fruits and vegetables throughout distribution.
Today, many companies are also evaluating how material selection fits into their broader packaging strategies. Some customers are exploring compostable materials, while others are looking to incorporate recycled content into their packaging portfolios.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, the industry is moving toward providing multiple material options for different applications and customer preferences.
Introducing D-NET Compost™
D-NET Compost™ expands the D-NET product line with a compostable netting solution designed for fresh produce packaging applications.
Developed to maintain the performance expected from D-NET products, D-NET Compost™ provides customers with an additional option when compostable packaging aligns with their product or brand objectives.
Introducing D-NET Renew™
D-NET Renew™ is designed for customers seeking netting manufactured with post-consumer recycled (PCR) content.
By incorporating recycled material into the product, D-NET Renew™ provides another material option while maintaining the quality and performance expected for produce packaging applications.
Built for Produce Packaging
Whether choosing D-NET Compost™, D-NET Renew™, or our traditional D-NET solutions, customers continue to receive the performance characteristics that have made net packaging a preferred choice throughout the produce industry.
D-NET products are engineered to provide:
- Excellent airflow for fresh produce
- High product visibility
- Lightweight construction
- Reliable performance during packaging and distribution
- Multiple material options to meet application needs
Both D-NET Compost™ and D-NET Renew™ are FDA approved for applicable food-contact uses, giving produce packers confidence when evaluating new packaging materials.
