Book Description
Excerpt from Feasibility of Shipping Golden Delicious Apples in Tray-Packed Boxes Five stripping containers were tested to compare the costs of using each and to find out how well they protected Golden Delicious apples from bruising. These five shipping containers were (1) cell-packs with corrugated partitions; (2) cell-packs with chipboard partitions; (3) tray-packs with deep-cup molded-pulpboard trays; (4) tray-packs with shallow-cup molded-polystyrene-foam trays; and (5) tray-packs with shallow-cup molded-pulpboard trays. Costs and charges for packing materials, direct labor for packing and handling, storage, and transport were higher for the cell-packs. These costs were per box for corrugated cell-packs, per box for chipboard cell-packs, per box for deep-cup molded-pulpboard tray-packs, per box for shallow-cup molded plastic tray-packs, and per box for the shallow-cup molded-pulpboard tray-packs. More of the apples were bruised in shallow-cup pulpboard tray-pack boxes - 27 percent - than in deep-cup pulpboard tray-pack boxes, shallow-cup plastic tray-pack boxes, corrugated cell-pack boxes, -and chipboard cell-pack boxes-48, 19, 19, and 22 percent, respectively.
