PACKING 
As the fruits enter the packing shed on the conveyor, sorters | 
discard the culls. Then other sorters grade the fruits into 
maturity and size classes. The packer selects the correct size 
crate, picks out fruit equal in size and fits them in snugly. 
The lidding machine attaches the tops. Crates are then labeled, 
inspected and loaded in trucks or refrigerator cars, after which 
they are top-iced, They may ormay not have been washed or waxed,
