Produce box standard

The corrugated box industry has introduced a new Modularity Standard for produce cases that will improve operational efficiency for grocery retailers and their distribution centers.

The Modularity Standard was developed by the Fibre Box Assn. with assistance from the American Forest & Paper Assn.

The grocery industry will ultimately determine if one or two footprints will be retained. For more information, phone FBA at 847/364-9600.
