Kinds of Packages Used In packing the fruit, several sizes of packages are in common use. While the proportionate dimensions of the packages may vary with the different dealers and packers, their capacity is more or less a matter of uniform standards. Perhaps the package most used is the 50-pound wooden box. A common form of this box is IOV2 by 11 by 22 inches, in- side measure. Twenty-five pound boxes are likewise much used; these are com- monly made 9 by 9 by 18 inches, inside dimensions A box holding 55 pounds of sliced fruit, having inside measurements of 11 by 11% by 221/^ inches, is much used for the export trade. These are generally marked "25 kilos" when intended for ex- port, instead of having the capacity des- ignated in pounds. Pasteboard cartons, holding one pound, or one-half kilo ( pounds) for certain export trade, are also more or less used for the better grades of sliced fruit. These cartons are generally packed in a box or case, 48 cartons to the case. The cartons are 2 by 5 by 7 inches; the case is about 12 by 16 by 21 inches. All of these packages are used as de- sired for- slices or "rings," but the quar- ters and whole fruit are generally packed in the 55-pound boxes, which, however, are expected to contain but 50 pounds of fruit in these forms.
