Abstract (en)

The method is intended to facilitate the use of open boxes, also called plateau, for the packing of fruit and vegetable products. At present this kind of boxes are available on the market ready for use and consequently, when empty, they take up considerable room both for storing and transport. With this method, instead, it is possible to realize half-assembled boxes with a flat-plate shape, that when not used do not take up much room. The setting up for using these boxes, according to this method, is carried out by means of special clips (6) that lock together the sides of each box. For this reason the sides are joined to the bottom of the boxes through metallic stitches (3) which act also as a hinge allowing a rotation of the said sides on and off the said bottom.
