Because Bananas Need Protection
Right from the start the banana peel is extremely sensitive. This delicate layer requires special protection during cultivation, harvesting, transportation and storage. The flawless appearance and uniform growth, determine the quality grading and the success and profit of the harvest.
Therefore, we have specialized protective solutions along the entire value chain. Through decades of collaboration with banana farmers worldwide, we offer solutions that ideally protect the fruit, ensuring the highest quality and yield for you.

Detailed Benefits
Increased Harvest
Bunch covers, in addition to protection, create an ideal microclimate where hands can unfold evenly and under optimal conditions. This results in increased numbers and larger more uniform fingers compared to without additional protection. If the bunch covers remain during harvest, they provide additional transport protection, minimizing rejections.
Improved Quality
Not only does the quantity of fruits and their size increase, but also the quality of the individual bananas and hands increases. This is evident through a uniform, appropriate ripeness without scarring on the peel and a balanced fruit-to-peel ratio, crucial criteria for quality bananas.
Reduced Costs
The protective bags can be used for more than one harvesting period and their use can reduce the use of pesticides or other pest control agents.
Time Saving
The ripening bags are not only easy to handle during placement but also accelerate growth and shorten the time between flowering and harvest, allowing fruits to reach the market more quickly.
Our Range
We offer you bunch covers for various climatic conditions and in various designs. These include, amongst others,
- PE and PP non-woven solutions
- Solutions with and without tear perforation
- Different dimensions and colours
Banana Clip Sheets
for even more protection
To better protect individual hands on a plant, you can use our Banana Clip Sheets as an additional protective solution for premium plants in addition to the bunch covers. This allows you to more effectively avoid spots from fruit resin, scarring at the tips of the fingers, as well as scratches. In contrast to conventional protection systems, the intelligent clip system also saves time during attachment.
Flagging Tapes
Systematic Marking
Whether for marking ripeness, general plant condition, or anything else, with our Flagging Tapes, you can quickly and easily mark the stock on-site without the need for a knife or scissors, thanks to easy tearing directly from the roll. The tapes are available in a variety of colours for categorization and are also weather resistant, even against UV radiation.
