Mesh Bag in foreign trade typically refers to a net-like packaging bag woven from materials such as polyethylene or nylon, widely used for the transport and retail packaging of agricultural products (e.g., onions, potatoes, garlic), seafood, fruits, and small industrial goods. Usage scenarios include: as outer or inner packaging for bulk export goods, allowing ventilation, drainage, and product display; also used for supermarket retail. Precautions: specify the material, mesh size, load capacity, color, dimensions, and whether custom printing is required; different countries have different environmental requirements for mesh bags (e.g., EU plastic restrictions), so confirm biodegradable or recyclable materials; mesh bags are usually priced per 'piece' or 'thousand pieces', and attention must be paid to preventing snagging during packaging and transport. Distinction from other terms: Mesh Bag differs from Woven Bag, which usually refers to tightly woven PP woven bags with greater load capacity but not water-permeable; it also differs from Net Bag, which has larger mesh and is mostly used for seafood. Foreign trade contracts should specify the exact specifications of 'Mesh Bag' to avoid ambiguity.

2. Please provide detailed specifications for the mesh bags: material HDPE, mesh 2mm×2mm, size 60cm×90cm, and printed with our company LOGO. (Note: Demonstrates a customer's requirements for customized specifications and printing of mesh bags.)
