We used recording device(EDR-3) to monitor the packages and the vehicle during shipment. Provided we did this enough times, we began to gain statistically valid information which could be used to describe the particular channel of distribution. The event was obviously changed from trip to trip, but in general we could have an idea of what to expect. Considerable amount of time and money were invested to record field data. Although not ideal, it was the best suited approach to gain information regarding a specific distribution channel. Based on the recorded field data, we could make our own packaging vibration testing specification through MIL-STD-810D(Guidance for development of laboratory dynamic test specification). This test specification was proved several times through field tests. As a result, we gained confidence in this revised vibration specification and come to know the development procedures of a laboratory dynamic test specification.

Increasement of total cost during distribution chain requires packaging standardization to reduce extra handling and delays at transshipment point. In Korea, high valued agricultural products to export are most often shipped by air freight. Fresh flowers, in particular, the need to set package standard for air palletization are strongly recommended. This study tried to find an optimum standard dimensions for export packages. After extensive research on combinations of various flower dimensions, package dimensions and pallet sizes, we found that 96 inches pallet was most adequate for international air freight. Based on the results, new 40 standard package dimensions were introduced and stacking efficiencies were calculated.

The compression strength of corrugated fiberboard containers for packaging the agricultural products rapidly decreases because of various environmental conditions during distribution of unitized products. Among various environmental conditions, the main factors affecting the compression strength of corrugated fiberboard are absorption of moisture, long-term accumulative load, and fatigue caused by shock and vibration. An estimated rate of damage for fruit during distribution is about 30~40% owing to the shock and vibration. This study was carried out to characterize the durability of corrugated fiberboard containers for packaging the fruits and vegetables under simulated transportation environment. After the packaging freight was vibrated at various experimental conditions, the compression test for the packaging was performed. The compression strength of corrugated fiberboard containers decreased with loading weight and vibration time. The multiple nonlinear regression equation ($R^2$ = 0.9198) for predicting the decreasing rate of compression strength of corrugated fiberboard containers were developed using four independent variables such as input acceleration level, input frequency, loading weight and vibration time.

Purpose: With the rapid development of China's e-commerce industry, the express delivery industry is also advancing by leaps and bounds. While express brings convenience to people's life, a large number of express packages are disposed of at will, which not only increases a large amount of domestic waste, but also causes environmental pollution and waste of resources. Therefore, express packaging recycling has become a consensus in all fields of society. Research design, data and methodology:According to the characteristics of express packaging recycling, other variables were introduced into the TPB model proposed by AJZEN, and based on previous literature research and research assumptions, a model of influencing factors of consumer behavior in express packaging recycling was constructed. Results: The results show that in addition to reward factors, other factors have a significant positive impact on the respondents' willingness to recycling. Conclusions: In order to enhance consumers' willingness to recycle express delivery and effectively carry out express packaging recycling, the following suggestions are put forward: the government should formulate a comprehensive express delivery recycling policy, strengthen policy publicity, and standardize consumers' express packaging recycling behavior. Improve consumers' awareness of express packaging recycling, and promote the increase in the scale of express packaging recycling.

Maintaining steady and low temperature during distribution process is a key technique to inhibit microbial growth, one of the most important factors in determining the shelf life. It is possible to provide high-quality fresh products to consumers only when precise and adequate temperature control is guaranteed throughout the entire distribution process for fresh seafood. This study investigated the shelf-life of packaged fresh flounder (Paralichthys Olivaceus) in order to learn the feasibility of super-chilled distribution of fresh seafood. To estimate the shelf life, weight, number of bacteria such as E. coli, pH, sensory test and volatile basic nitrogen were investigated. As a result of the study, the difference in shelf life of 6 days at the super-chilling temperature (0±1℃) and 1 day at the general refrigeration temperature (8±2℃) (based on volatile base nitrogen) showed the market possibility of super-chilling distribution. Through additional empirical studies such as packaging methods and economic feasibility, it is expected to promote commercialization of super-chilling containers and packaging system developed in the future and secure customer reliability.

In order to improve cut-flower export packaging on the distribution process, newly developed T-type(trapezoid type) container was tested and evaluated on the viewpoints of the protection, workability, and economics. T-type container performed better in protection and workability comparing to 0201 and modified 0201 type containers. Especially, load efficiency of T-type container was 33 percent higher than others, indicating that total distribution costs from Korea to Japan can be saved up to 1.7million dollars per year. T-type container is also advantageous because of its superior display performance and environmentally friendly design. We recommend that T-type container is suitable for most of cut-flowers which are usually horizontally packed such as roses, chrysanthemums, and lilies.

The purpose of this study was to examine how can we keep the freshness of peeled chestnuts in distribution process. The 30 minutes impregnation treatment at the preservation solution of 0.3% consistency showed a good result. The solution treatment prevented from surface yellowing and quality degradation of peeled chestnuts. And, in vaccum packaging after treating chemicals surface drying was faster than the other packaging from 7th day. A vitamin C treatment was no effective to restrain the growth of microbials.

Packaging of solar salts produced in Korea and Japan were evaluated and compared each other in terms of packaging design such as package types, colors and graphics. The standing pouch type in plastic film was most popular for the Korean salts regardless of the package capacity. But the same type was common only for the lower package capacity of 300 g or less while the plastic film pouch was prevalent for the higher capacity for the Japanese salts. White and brown were dominant colors for the Korean solar salts reminding us of salt farms and the foreshore respectively and strengthening its color identity. White, blue and red were used for the dominant, assort and accent colors respectively for the Japanese salt packaging. Salt farmers and the foreshore are often represented as the main package graphics for the Korean solar salts while the wave symbolising the sea was found frequently for the Japanese ones. The word of 'Shinan' was involved the most in the brand names of the Korean salts and the sea was appeared very often in those of the Japanese ones.
