Description

Technology Field

[0001] The disclosed content relates to a fruit packaging container equipped with a spaced support that safely supports the lower part of the fruit contained within the packaging container, thereby preventing the fruit from being crushed. Background Technology

[0003] Unless otherwise indicated in this specification, the contents described in this section are not prior art for the claims of this application, and are not to be recognized as prior art simply because they are included in this section.

[0005] Generally, fruits sold for consumption are packaged in boxes or gathered in one place, but to enhance marketability and stimulate consumer purchasing desire, they are also sold beautifully arranged in containers that highlight the fruit.

[0006] Among various fruits, strawberries were historically a seasonal fruit produced only in the spring, but recently, due to advancements in cultivation environments such as greenhouses, they can be enjoyed regardless of the season.

[0007] These strawberries are typically sold in two ways: packaged in paper boxes according to the number of units sold, or placed inside a receiving groove of a transparent plastic container with a lid.

[0008] First, while paper boxes are advantageous for transportation and stacking due to their relatively high-strength rectangular shape, they fall somewhat short of satisfying consumer purchasing desires as the contents can only be checked through the transparent top section. In the case of transparent plastic containers, the packaged strawberries are visible at a glance, which can stimulate consumer purchasing desire; however, they are difficult to transport and stack, resulting in the inconvenience of having to individually wrap or package the strawberries using separate materials such as non-woven fabric.

[0009] However, these paper boxes or plastic packaging containers had the disadvantage that the packaged strawberries could easily get crushed as they came into contact with each other or the inner surface of the container, potentially reducing their marketability. Recently, however, receiving grooves have been provided inside plastic containers to accommodate strawberries individually, similar to egg packaging, to prevent crushing; nevertheless, since these grooves inevitably come into contact with the bottom of the strawberries, there were limitations in effectively preventing the crushing phenomenon.
