Australian made !! April 2010
We’ve done it. As of this month, we are happy to announce that we have secured an Australian manufacture for our reusable fruit & vegie bag!!
Investigating the feasibility of having greensacks made in Australia was always on our agenda but actually finding someone was a little more difficult. But we got there in the end, thanks to a business partner of a friend of a friend. I visited the manufacturer this week, and I can’t tell you how good it felt to be able to watch our bags in production and know that we can now offer an Australian made product.
Being manufactured in Australia though, does mean that the production cost is higher which is reflected in the RRP. Our Australian made sacks have a RRP of $20 per pack of 5.
We’ll be interested to see how people respond to the availability of an Australian made product and how important this is to our customers and retailers - only time will tell. So from this month, two types of reusable fruit & vegie sacks will be available, one which has been made in Australia and another which has been made in China. Customers can then choose for themselves!
Do you have any thoughts on this? I would love your feedback – please use the contact form to email your comment. This would be wonderful – thank you.

What an amazing year! greensacks has gone from strength to strength since it’s humble beginnings in April. The concept of a reusable fruit and vegetable bag has been embraced far and wide. We’ve had customers from all over Australia, as well as internationally. Some of the bags have accompanied friends and family on their overseas travels – their use being applied for all sorts of things:
