Detailed explanation-1: -Plastic crates minimize postharvest losses of fresh fruits and vegetables that can occur when produce is moved, minimizing bruising, crushing, and other damage. Plastic containers are less fragile than cardboard or wood containers, which can also absorb product moisture.

Detailed explanation-2: -A crate is a large shipping container, often made of wood, typically used to transport or store large, heavy items. Steel and aluminium crates are also used. Specialized crates were designed for specific products, and were often made to be reusable, such as the “bottle crates” for milk and soft drinks.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wooden crates are one of the most secure ways to transport goods. Their solid build protects the commodities inside, and provides an easy-to-handle format that forklifts and pallet jacks can maneuver. Wooden crates are durable, reusable, and an earth-friendly option for packaging and shipping supplies.
