One-at-a-time perforated dispensing
Check that each flat handleless bag separates cleanly on your roll stand without feeding the next bag into the aisle. Approve perforation pitch and core fit with a production sample.

ASTM D6400 Compostable Produce Bags
Compostable produce bags with published ASTM D6400 references for grocers and wholesale programs. Review the bag dimensions, dispenser arrangement, opening and film gauge with the produce handled, then confirm the applicable finished-bag and food-contact records.

Product specifications
Compare the construction, size and order requirements. We confirm your selected configuration in the quotation.
Product configuration
- Material / construction
- PLA + PBAT + plant-starch film; final blend and applicable claims confirmed by the finished-SKU evidence
- Dimensions
- 30 × 45 cm reference size; custom dimensions available after dispenser and sample review
- Thickness / weight
- 15–30 μm starting range; final gauge and tolerance set in the approved specification
- Colour
- Natural translucent stock; pale mist-blue shown as an illustrative custom-color option requiring separate approval
- Capacity / application reference
- Up to 3 kg is an existing reference target; validate the selected gauge and load-test method with actual produce
Order & supply
- Order quantity
- Indicative stock starting point: 60 cartons; OEM print and color quantity quoted after specification review
- Production timing
- Indicative 15–25 days after specification and artwork approval; confirm for each order
- Unit & case packing
- Reference pack: 250 bags per perforated roll, 50 rolls per carton; verify on the final packing list
- Customisation
- Choose bag width and length, film gauge, perforation pitch, bags per roll, dispenser core, natural or custom film tint, printing and carton configuration. Send print coverage, ink system and market-specific claim wording for review. A change in film color or printing requires confirmation that the exact finished construction is covered by the current compostability evidence before any mark is printed.
Product overview
Build the format around the produce station
A produce bag needs to separate, open and fill smoothly at the point of use. Share the rack or roll arrangement and the fruit or vegetables involved, including moisture and sharp stems. Sample review should cover dispensing and carrying, with pack instructions linked to the appropriate local organics route.
Compostable food bags for clearly defined packing, storage and collection tasks. Choose the format around contents, closure, contact conditions and the finished pack your operation needs.
Plan your sample reviewKey features
The details that
shape the product
Six points connect the selected format to its everyday use, finished pack and repeat supply.
02
Produce visibility through thin film
Inspect how the selected 15–30 μm construction shows fruit color and labels in real store light. Compare natural film against the illustrated pale-blue OEM tint before choosing a color.
03
Bottom-seal handling for the real load
Test the bag with the chosen produce and a defined lift routine. Verify gauge and seal design rather than treating a nominal 3 kg target as a blanket performance claim.
04
OEM tint and printing control
Coordinate film color, print colors, ink coverage and roll-band artwork. Obtain evidence-scope and mark-use approval for the finished printed or tinted SKU before production.
05
Wholesale carton replenishment
Start from the listed 250-bag roll and 50-roll carton reference, then confirm physical roll diameter, case count, storage conditions and purchasing MOQ on the final pack plan.
06
Perforation and seal quality checks
Request inspection criteria for roll winding, bag dimensions, film thickness, tear line and bottom seal, with batch traceability and approved production samples.
Applications
Find your
working context
Choose the relevant operation and share its practical requirements with your inquiry.
01
Supermarket produce departments
Position a roll at the fruit-and-vegetable display for customers to separate loose citrus, apples and pears. Validate dispenser fit, easy opening and local bag-label requirements before chain-wide rollout.
02
Farmers markets and farm shops
Offer one-at-a-time bags for small quantities of fresh produce without adding a checkout carrier. Choose the bag gauge and tint against the actual fruit mix and handover routine.
03
CSA pickup and produce boxes
Portion selected fruit inside a subscription box while keeping produce visible at pickup. Agree pack-out, moisture exposure, distribution distance and disposal instructions with the program.
04
Foodservice ingredient staging
Separate dry whole produce at a preparation station before use. Verify any direct food-contact declaration and temperature/time scope independently; this bag is not a hot-fill, liquid or freezer-storage format.
Certifications & product documents
The file behind
the finished format
Keep the specification, applicable certification and intended-use information connected to the product you order.
ASTM D6400 — finished-bag scope
Request current documentation that identifies the holder and exact produce-bag construction, film, gauge range, tint, print and validity. This standard concerns managed municipal or industrial aerobic composting; it does not by itself establish home compostability.
BPI — verify the licensed item
If a BPI claim or mark is required, look up the finished bag by company and item in BPI’s certified-product catalog. Confirm the licence covers the marketed roll, permitted mark artwork and any distributor or private-label arrangement.
EN 13432 — only if EU evidence is needed
For an EU program, request a separate current EN 13432 certificate or report that actually includes this finished variant. An ASTM D6400 reference does not automatically confer EN 13432 approval.
Custom tint, print and food-contact documents
Check whether the quoted color, ink coverage, labels and gauge sit inside the issued scope. Review food-contact declarations for the intended food, duration, temperature and sales market separately; compostability evidence does not establish food-contact suitability.

Use, handling & storage notes
A thin produce-bag format should be tested with the fruit and handling it is sold for. Sharp stems, rough root vegetables, excess moisture and unusually heavy loads may require a different gauge or bag construction. Do not claim the same performance for every fruit or quote a universal degradation time. ASTM D6400 addresses managed aerobic municipal or industrial composting, not automatic home-compost suitability or acceptance by every organics collector. The pale-blue photographs illustrate a proposed OEM variant; stock color, printed claim, shelf life and storage limits require confirmation for the approved order.

Product questions
Before your
first order
Are these ASTM D6400 certified compostable produce bags?
The current site listing names ASTM D6400, but buyers should request the actual current certificate or test report for ES-FB-06. Match the holder, item, film, gauge, tint, print, validity and permitted label to the bag being quoted before publishing a certified claim.
Is ASTM D6400 the same as BPI certification?
No. ASTM D6400 is a standard for plastics designed for managed aerobic municipal or industrial composting. BPI is a third-party program with a searchable product catalog and licensing rules. Check whether the exact finished item appears in that catalog.
Is the mist-blue produce bag already certified?
The blue bag in the images is an illustrative custom-color concept. Color and printing can change the finished-product scope, so do not assume a certificate for natural film also covers this version. Request written confirmation and approved artwork before using a mark.
Can these bags be described as home compostable?
Not on ASTM D6400 evidence alone. This standard addresses managed municipal or industrial aerobic composting. Make a home-compost claim only when separate current evidence covers the exact finished bag and the target market permits it.
