A 50 lb cashew PP bag is a food-grade woven polypropylene (PP) sack holding 22.68 kg of finished white cashew kernels — the standard bulk master unit most processors use to ship kernels in volume. It typically carries an inner LDPE/PE liner and is packed into corrugated master boxes. Cashew Tech sources and specifies these bags for processors as part of its supplies offering.
The 50 lb is the default full unit for bulk and export throughput: it balances a manageable handling weight against container economics, which is why it dominates high-volume kernel shipments. It sits one step up from the 25 lb half-unit used for premium grades and smaller lots. Kernels are typically packed at around 5% moisture; the cashew packing guide and the vacuum packing machine cover the how and the equipment.
Why the 50 lb is the standard bulk unit
For processors moving containers of kernels to Asian, African and global buyers, the 50 lb bag is the workhorse. It fills faster per kilogram than smaller units, palletises predictably, and matches the master-carton configurations most freight forwarders expect.
Inner PE liner & moisture protection
The optional inner LDPE/PE liner provides a moisture barrier and enables vacuum or gas-flushed packing, protecting kernel crunch and shelf life. Buyers check quality against the AFI specifications, where moisture limits are defined.
Packing into corrugated master boxes
Filled 50 lb bags go into 3-, 5- or 7-ply corrugated master cartons for stacking and container transit — see the corrugated boxes page for ply grades and burst strength.
