GUIDE FOR BOX PACKING OF APPLES 



Apples are usually packed in boxes with the stems down, until the top 

 layer is reached when they should be packed stem end up. When the cheek 

 pack is used with the apples on their sides the core line may be parallel to the 

 box side or diagonal to it. Apples are never packed crosswise of the box or with 

 the core line at right angles to the box side. 



When the sizing and grading for box packing has been done and the fruit 

 is ready to be packed, the following table will be found helpful in deciding what 

 pack to use. The completed box should be stenciled on one end with (a) The 

 name and address of the packer (b) The variety and grade of apples (c) The 

 tier and number of contained fruits. (Indiana Station.)
