I've never tried using the Japanese apple bags, but can believe that
they do take a fair amount of time to put on. That's probably part of
the reason that the Japanese charge $1+/apple. Don't remember the prices
on the fancy ones, but I recall individual fruits running as much as
$5/fruit! I was told that you usually don't buy those for yourself, but
as gifts for people.
Same amount of work is true of the sandwich baggies. Great for a few
trees, but I find it hard to imagine doing it commercially for what
people are willing to pay for fruit.
