AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a container for fruitional vegetable products. The technical effect of this invention is the design of a container that allows for optimal visibility of the products inside it, making it easy for the user to quickly and safely check the appearance, integrity, and cleanliness of the products. Additionally, the container is designed to be easily and safely transported by the user. The method for making the container requires simple and quick processing steps, cutting production times and costs. The container comprises a closed mesh casing for storing the products and a shaped band that is associated with the ends of the mesh casing, making it easy for the user to hold and transport the fruit and vegetable products.

Problems solved by technology

However, containers of this known type, due to the aforementioned extended film portions, do not allow the products contained inside them to be seen clearly, in this way preventing the user from checking the appearance, the integrity or the cleanliness of the fruit and vegetable products.

In many cases, containers do not have adequate handgrip portions for the user, making them awkward to transport; in other cases the existing containers instead have handles specially made in the processing steps, which obviously lengthens the production times, also worsening the final costs of the containers themselves.

In order to obtain all of the bags according to the patent documents mentioned above, it is necessary to use a substantial amount of material for the label, taking into account, furthermore, the fact that it is necessary to foresee label elements or components arranged on opposite sides to one another at the two ends of the bag and, also for this reason, the packing and fastening procedure of the label to the casing involves a series of complex steps that are expensive to carry out.
