Book excerpt: Excerpt from Standardization of Shipping Containers for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables A survey of the shipping containers used for marketing fresh fruits and vegetables was conducted in Los Angeles and New York in 1965 - 66. Data were collected on the containers used for 49 commodities during each of the four seasons of the year in four warehouses in each of the two cities. Different types and sizes of containers totaled 547, of which 371 had different inside length and Width base dimensions. More different size containers were found for apples than for any other commodity. Of these 371 different base size containers, 44 were used for apples, 35 for tomatoes, 27 for lettuce, 19 for cabbage, 14 for cauliflower, and 14 for grapefruit.
