3. Plastic crates: the ideal choice for fruit and vegetable transportation packaging
Plastic crates are a professional packaging solution that combines these advantages:
Advantages | Description |
Pressure-resistant and drop-resistant | One-piece molding, stable structure, suitable for stacking and transportation |
Ventilation and breathability design | Ventilation holes on all four sides or the bottom to effectively prevent water vapor accumulation |
Reusable | Corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, economical and environmentally friendly |
Various specifications | Different sizes and structures can be customized according to the types of fruits and vegetables |

4. How to choose turnover boxes for different fruits and vegetables?
Fruit and vegetable types | Recommended crate specifications | Special attention |
Easy to be crushed (such as peaches, strawberries) | Small specifications with compartments | Avoid heavy pressure, single-layer stacking |
Large quantities of pressure-resistant products (such as potatoes, carrots) | Medium and large pressure-resistant boxes | Strength first, easy to stack |
High-value fruits and vegetables (such as blueberries, cherries) | Small boxes with food-grade trays | Exquisite packaging, high temperature control requirements |
Leafy vegetables (such as lettuce, spinach) | Shallow boxes with strong ventilation | Both moisture retention and breathabilit |
