Packing And Shipping Lettuce In Fiberboard Cartons And Wooden Crates PDF Download

Excerpt from Packing and Shipping Lettuce in Fiberboard Cartons and Wooden Crates: A Comparison In previous years nearly all the lettuce packed for rail shipment from California and Arizona was harvested and trucked to centrally located packing sheds, where it was packed into wooden crates with crushed ice. The crates were then loaded into refrigerator cars and additional crushed ice was blown over the load. The development of the vacuum cooling process and the subsequent introduction of fiberboard cartons for lettuce containers have made it possible to dry-pack lettuce in cartons or crates in the field or shed without ice in the packages.
