In November 2026, 200,000 special kraft paper bags for pecans produced by 3NL Packaging Factory completed mass production and factory inspection, and were officially shipped to New Mexico, USA. Based on food-grade kraft paper, these bags are equipped with viewing windows on the body and are custom-developed specifically for pecan products. With the delivery of the first batch of orders, the soft packaging business of 3NL Packaging Factory in the dried fruit market of New Mexico has officially launched.
I. Order Overview
This batch of orders totals 200,000 pieces. The products are special kraft paper bags for pecans with transparent windows, and the port of destination is New Mexico, USA, mainly used for the retail and circulation packaging of local pecan products. The order entered production scheduling after the specifications and bag types were confirmed. At present, mass production, sampling inspection and container loading have been completed, and shipment has been arranged in accordance with the customer's designated method.
II. Product Structure: The Combination Logic of Kraft Paper and Transparent Window
Kraft paper serves as the main visual and structural material for these packaging bags. The natural fiber texture delivers a texture close to that of virgin paper, creating a clear distinction from plastic composite packaging on North American retail shelves. Meanwhile, paper-based materials feature a single component composition with a clear recycling pathway, making it convenient for enetomers to add recvelahilitv lahels and environmental statemente on the nackagina
The design of the transparent window solves the problem of "unable to see the contents" of paper bags. The position of the window is determined according to the bag specifications and display habits. Consumers can judge the particle size, color and fullness of the pecans without opening the package, and it also facilitates channel merchants to quickly check the product status when receiving goods. For the window-opening process, the production process focuses on controlling the composite flatness of the window film and the paper surface to ensure no air bubbles and no warping, and the window edge will not crack or delaminate after folding, stacking and long-distance transportation.
In terms of food safety, inks, adhesives and window films are selected in accordance with the relevant requirements for food contact materials in the export destinations, to control the risks of solvent residues and odor migration. It should be noted that the barrier property of kraft paper itself is limited. The company can configure an inner barrier film or an independent liner bag solution in the structure according to the customer's shelf life setting and transportation conditions so as to halance the shelf life and environmental nrotection demands
In terms of printing and specifications, this order has undergone customization of patterns, color matching, text information and sealing forms in accordance with the customer's brand plan. During production, the registration accuracy and color difference of each batch are comnared hatch hv hatch to ensure the consistent annearance of multi-hatch renlenishments
III. Market Background: Advantages of the Production Area Meet Packaging TInoradina
New Mexico is one of the major pecan-producing regions in the United States. The Mesilla Valley in the southern part of the state has abundant sunlight, a long growing season and a dry climate, resulting in stable pecan kermel yield and flavor. For a long time, most pecans produced in the state have entered the circulation link as raw nuts and in bulk form, and the proportion of nackaging in the entire value chain has heen relativelv low
In the past two years, as local growers and brand owners have accelerated their expansion into the retail sector, packaging has evolved from being a "transport container" to a "sales tool on the shelf": it must not only showcase product quality but also convey origin stories and environmental protection concepts. Sof packaging, which combines displayability with paper-based properties, has thus become a new choice for local dried fruit enterprises. Taking this order of 200,000 units as the starting point, 3nl Packaging officially entered the dried fruit packaging supply system of the state.
IV. Delivery and Quality Control
The execution of this batch of orders is carried out in accordance with the process of sample confirmation, structural sample making, mass production, factory inspection, and packaging and shipment. In the production link, the key control points include the deviation of window opening positions, edge banding strength, flatness of bag bodies, printing color differences and quantity counting, with spot checks and records conducted item by item; in the shipment link, the shipping mark identification and packaging reinforcement are completed in accordance with the export packaging requirements, and the shipment is arranged in coordination with the logistics method specified by the customer to ensure that the packaging maintains a complete appearance after long-distance sea tranenartatian and multinla traneehinmante
V. Next Steps
Starting from the pecan packaging, the 3nl packaging plan extends the paper-based flexible packaging solution to categories such as almonds, walnuts, cashews and mixed nuts, and simultaneously promotes the design and verification of single-material, recyclable structures, reducing the number of composite layers and the difficulty of recycling. At the same time, the company will open structural sample making and specification adaptation services for overseas customers, cooperating with buyers to complete pre-listing packaging testing.
3NL Packaging stated that the launch of the soft packaging business for the dried fruit market in New Mexico is a step in the company's North American business layout. The dried fruit category places simultaneous demands on the display, freshness preservation and environmental attributes of packaging. The company will continue to adapt its material structure and printing processes, turning sinale ordere into enetainahle cateaory cooneration
