Tomato packing box

In this system of packaging, compartments are provided in the corrugated carton boxes for each fruit.  By this, the load of the tomato from top layers, due to self weight is not transmitted to the tomato in the bottom layers.  For packaging of tomatoes using carton boxes, the dimensions of the boxes and the compartment are designed for two grades classified according to diameter, with 50 60 mm as first grade, 40 50 mm diameter as second grade.  These corrugated carton boxes with compartments developed for 0.5, 1 and 2 kg packs were evaluated for losses during handling and transportation.  The total losses were only 14 and 18% for the hybrids and improved varieties.  This reduction in the total loss is achieved by packing the tomatoes by the farmers in these boxes and not opened in the market network till it reaches the customers
