Book excerpt: Excerpt from Packing California Potatoes in Fiberboard Boxes This research project was undertaken to evaluate a new 50-pound fiber board box for use in shipping California White Rose potatoes, in comparison with the conventional 100-pound burlap bag now in general use by potato shippers. Some 50-pound and 10-pound bags are also used but it is estimated that over 90 percent of these California potatoes are customarily shipped in 100-pound burlap bags. Since 1956, more shippers have been packing or are interested in packing potatoes in the new 50-pound box. As a result, there has arisen a need to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the new 50-pound box with respect to container and material costs, labor require ments, arrival condition, and trade acceptance. It is estimated that in 1957 the equivalent of about 150 cars of California White Rose potatoes were packed and shipped in 50-pound fiberboard boxes.
