1. Packaging material for Desiccated Coconut

The choice of packaging material for desiccated coconut is crucial. It helps to maintain the quality and prevent spoilage during transportation and storage. Common materials that producers use include:

Polyethylene (PE) bags: These are durable, flexible, and moisture-resistant. This makes them a popular choice for bulk packaging.

Laminated pouches: These pouches combine multiple layers of materials. They often include PE, PP, and kraft bags. They provide excellent protection against moisture, oxygen, and light.

Fiber drums: These are sturdy containers made of cardboard or fiberboard. People also line them with plastic bags. They are suitable for large quantities of desiccated coconut.

In case there is no special requirement, producers often pack desiccated coconut with the following method. They pack 50kg of desiccated coconut in the PE bag with 2 layers of kraft bag & PP bag.
