ABSTRACT:
A packaging system for fresh produce such as fresh lettuce and like food products. The packaging system relies upon a quadrilaterally shaped, fairly rigid paperboard container having more than four corner portions therein and with an inner liner used for the storage and transport of produce, such as lettuce heads. In a preferred embodiment, the containers are octagonally shaped with four rectangularly shaped elongate walls connected at their corner portions by four relatively short angularly located connecting walls. Portions of these containers, and particularly the expensive side walls, are capable of being reused. Moreover, they are uniquely adapted for storage and transport in stacked relationship and also are designed so as to fit upon conventional pallets.
