For grocery stores, the best way to protect their brand’s reputation is to preserve the quality of their produce. Delivering fresh produce to store shelves means consumers have access to proper nutrition. This is where produce ties come in.
Keeping fruits and vegetables fresh and presentable from farm to cart requires special tools and processes. VELCRO® Brand Bundle Ties help grocers deliver better produce to consumers’ dinner plates. The time has arrived to move from single-use solutions to a more sustainable alternative.
Produce Ties Made with Soft Materials to Better Protect Delicate Vegetables
Traditional bundling methods can over-cinch, causing damage to delicate produce. Elastic bands or wire twist ties can pinch vegetables such as lettuce, cilantro, parsley and other specialty crops.
VELCRO® Brand Bundle Ties include a wide surface area and soft materials to lessen the risk of over-cinching. This gentle yet secure hold protects produce from damage and ensures that fruits and vegetables remain fresh when they reach customers. The ties, compatible with a wide range of produce, are also FDA approved.
Ease Labor for Workers & Provide an Optimal Customer Experience
The self-engaging fastener is easier to open and close than wire twist ties, simplifying the labor process for grocery store workers. The closure system has an easy landing zone for quick assembly and a secure hold. A tabletop dispenser is available to provide quick and consistent tearing of pre-cut ties, ensuring produce is effectively bundled and professionally presented on the shelf.
When consumers bring their produce home, hook and loop is a preferable bundling method for those with dexterity challenges who may struggle with traditional produce twist ties.
Bundle Produce with Reusable, Recycled Materials
Single-use solutions such as elastic bands or wire produce twist ties became popular because of their low cost. As the produce industry moves toward a sustainable future, it’s important that our materials keep up.
VELCRO® Brand Bundle Ties are made from 65% recycled materials, a greener alternative. To further support a grocery store’s brand, this is an appealing option for consumers who keep sustainability top of mind. Since they are reusable, consumers can use them again for bundling purposes at home and in the garden.
Custom Printing for Easy Product Identification
VELCRO® Brand Bundle Ties provide grocers the ability to customize each tie with essential product information. Custom printing options allow for clear barcodes, product identification, or branding. This streamlines inventory management and facilitates easy tracking. This aids grocers in auditing their stock and provides clearer labeling and product information for consumers.
A Fastening System Inspired by Nature that is Designed to Protect Nature’s Gifts
VELCRO® Brand products were originally inspired by nature, and the company remains committed to giving back to it. Using VELCRO® Brand Bundle Ties for produce bundling supports a sustainable way to protect vegetables. Grocers can offer a recycled bundling option while giving customers fresh, natural produce.
