Traypack Cargo for bussel boxes

The fruit tray that goes inside the export bussel box: it holds each apple or pear in its own cavity and is stacked in layers inside the box.

Traypack Cargo is the dedicated fruit tray for the bussel box, the deep cardboard export box used to ship seasonal apples and pears. It is a tray with cavities in which each pocket holds one piece and protects it individually, so fruit does not rub against fruit during handling, cold storage and transport. Several layers of traypack are placed inside the same bussel box, one on top of another, each with its own fruit.

It should not be confused with the ordinary fruit tray used in standard 60x40 boxes: they are different products. When ordering, call it by its name, Traypack Cargo, so the reference we prepare for you is the one for the bussel box. If part of your fruit ships in standard boxes, you need a different item: a spherical-cavity tray for apples or a pear-shaped cavity tray for pears.

Traypack is not ordered by size but by number. Each number corresponds to a cavity size and therefore to a calibre range: the more cavities, the smaller the pocket and the smaller the calibre. As an indicative starting point, for apples Golden usually comes in between 70 and 80 mm, Gala between 65 and 75 mm, Fuji and Granny Smith between 70 and 85 mm, Red Delicious between 75 and 90 mm and Reineta between 85 and 100 mm. For pears, Conference works between 55 and 70 mm and Blanquilla between 60 and 75 mm. The exact number is confirmed against the real average calibre of your harvest.

The complete system is three parts: bussel base, bussel lid and Traypack Cargo, and it pays to size them together, with the same reference calibre, so the box never arrives without what goes inside it. Apple and pear seasons overlap and at the peaks the whole area orders traypack at the same time, so planning ahead before the fruit comes in secures stock and dates.

Fontanet Group is based in Fraga (Huesca), inside the growing area, with a team that has more than 30 years in the sector. The fastest-moving numbers are in stock during the season, with delivery in 24-72 h in Lleida, Huesca, Zaragoza and the Ebro corridor; less common ones are supplied to order. We send you samples to test with your fruit, and our sales team confirms the number and characteristics of each reference.

Advantages

  • Piece-by-piece protection. Each apple or pear in its own cavity, with no rubbing that turns into rejects at destination.
  • Several layers per box. Stacked in layers inside the bussel box: more fruit in every package.
  • One number per calibre. The piece sits snugly, without moving about in the pocket or being forced.
  • Instant count. With the traypack number and the layers you know how many pieces the box holds.
  • Complete order. Lid, base and traypack in the same order and sized together.

Frequently asked questions

Which Traypack Cargo number do I need?

The one that matches the average calibre of your harvest: the more cavities, the smaller the calibre. Tell us the variety and calibre, or send us a sample, and we will tell you the number.

Is it the same as the ordinary moulded pulp tray?

No. Traypack Cargo is the dedicated fruit tray for the bussel box and goes in layers; the ordinary tray is a different product, designed for the standard box. We have both.

Do you also supply the bussel box?

Yes. We supply the bussel lid and the bussel base separately, together with the traypacks, so the box and what goes inside come from the same order.
