Abstract

This study aimed to focus on the optimization of the external dimension sizes in the corrugated fiberboard cartons (CFCs) for exporting agricultural products. The commercial CFCs of current fresh produces such as paprika, Asian pear, melon, sweet potato, and oriental melon for export were used for this study. The guidelines of the minimum internal dimensions of the refrigerated reefer container, the dimensions of pallets, and the maximum load height of a stack were referred to KS T ISO 668, KS T 1372, and the Container Handbook by the German Insurance Association, respectively. These principles were selected as a ground rule for the external dimensions of CFCs. Package layout design programs of ArtiosCAD and Cape Pack software were used to confirm the box stacking patterns and revise the external dimension of CFCs. The final external dimensions of each CFC were revised from 5 to 30 mm compared to its original dimensions. The maximum load of each stacking box per pallet has been increased from 0.0 to 12.5% compared to its original load.
