2.1. Packaging, palletisation and containerization
A telescopic corrugated
fibreboard box type ‘Supervent’ was
used (0.4
0.3
0.27 m, Fig. 2a),
filled with ‘Navel’ oranges (Citrus
senensis L. Osb). The carton box has half-circular vent holes, located
at the top and bottom of each side. This box was already evaluated

boxes are stacked, where each layer holds 10 boxes (Fig. 2b). The
‘Supervent’ package was designed to form horizontal ventilation
