The J-Box is a lighter, cleaner and longer lasting packaging box that will change the way industry pack and transport produce around the local, interstate and overseas markets. It has already been adopted by several figures in the industry, including Office Fruit (see their
website for more info and pictures)
The sturdy design and features ensure that produce will arrive at the end of the chain cleaner and cheaper than ever before.
J-box is patented (#2005101053) and
features:
-
Low weight
The J-Box weighs as little as 550 grams and compared with the waxboard weight of 1150 grams will save exporters many dollars.
-
Water resistant
J-Boxes are made from a sturdy and water resistant twin plastic board that never looses shape when wet and can hold moisture.
-
Strength for stacking
The J-Box will hold the weight of 120KG, which makes it ideal for loading onto pallets to transport around the globe.
-
Reusable
The J-Boxes can be cleaned using an approved cleaning and sterilising agent and then reused to stack and transport more products. Using this material will cut costs for the primary producers by as much as 80%, passing on to the consumer considerable savings at the supermarket.
-
Freshness that lasts longer
The dark environment of the J-Box makes the produce 'hibernate' during transport. This helps prolong their shelf-life and makes the fruit and vegetables arrive fresher than before to their destination.
-
Unique folding and locking mechanism
The J-Box has a unique folding and locking mechanism (see pictures) that allow the containers to be shipped to the grower in a flat (unfolded) condition, this cuts the costs even further for the growers and after they have been used to ship product to market the containers can be unfolded and shipped back to the grower without taking up much room.
-
Packaging with your own brand name
The J-Box packaging box can be marked with your brand name, thus increasing customer awareness of your services.
