Apple packing systems: comparison of selected costs between conventional and presize systems
1981
Schotzko, R.T.
Extract: Apple processors need more capacity to handle larger crops. One result has been increasing interest in presize packing systems. This publication compares costs for small, medium, and large presize systems with costs for four sizes of conventional packing systems. The analysis shows conventional systems have cost advantages at low yearly outputs, but presize systems are advantageous when a firm packs 750,000 boxes a year or more. Under the assumptions in the analysis, costs per pack with presize packing ran from $.92 to $1.93; with conventional packing from $1.12 to $2.14.
