Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prepackaging Pears at Shipping Point Packaging pears in consumer trays at shipping point costs about cents more per pound for packaging, transport, storage, and overhead than place-packing pears in standard wood boxes. A molded-pulp pear tray and fiberboard ship ping containers to hold the packaged trays were designed. All nine of the commercially important pear sizes can be packaged in the tray. The pear tray protected pears better than three fruit trays tested. Two heat-shrinkable fihns tested as over wraps for the trays immobilized the pears and minimized skin discoloration. Although some film wrinkling occurred at time of packaging and some trays became distorted during long periods of storage, package appearance was usually satis factory and the pears were salable. In 23 transcontinental rail test shipments, hard and green pears packaged in consumer trays and packed in fiberboard shipping containers arrived in eastern markets with less bruising and discolor ation than similar pears place-packed in standard wood boxes. The trays were packed in five and six layers in the shipping containers, with pads on top to form a compression pack. The pears were held in cold storage for up to 6 months before shipment.
