Which clamshell holds 1 kg of grapes?
Short answer
AVI's 1 kg grape clamshells are the PNG 501 / 126 (190 × 115 × 126 mm, 31 g) and PNG 501 / 135 (190 × 115 × 135 mm), and the wider PNG 750 / 125 (188 × 144 × 125 mm). For the US 3 lb format there is the PNG 3000 / 126 (189 × 184 × 126 mm).

All packs are rPET. Figures from AVI's catalogue; tolerances and fill depend on the produce, so samples are the final check.
Picking the height
The 126 mm and 135 mm versions share the same 190 × 115 mm footprint, so they fit the same cartons; choose the taller one for loose, large-berried varieties. The PNG 750 / 125 has a wider base for bunches that should lie flat.
For the US market, 3 lb (about 1.36 kg) packs are common; the PNG 3000 / 126 is AVI's 3 lb grape clamshell.
