Abstract (en)

Fruit, vegetables and the like are usually sold in boxes or trays made of cardboard, where these products are sometimes exposed to scratches and pressure that facilitate their deterioration. The invention consists of a unitary case, i.e., designed to receive one piece of the product in question, for example a pear, a cluster of grapes, etc., which is kept hanging from its peduncle (18) from the upper base or lid of the case, without the product making contact with any of the case's walls. Precisely, it has been provided that under the closing flap (10) which constitutes the external wall of the lid, an internal wall (14) is placed, with similar size, provided with a small cut (16) at its centre which is rounded off on one of its sides by a window (17) for said peduncle to go through, which is finally attached to the aforementioned cut (16) in a suspended position for the piece of fruit, with the latter being visible from the outside through several windows (21) existing on one or more of the side walls, and with the case featuring ventilation holes (24, 25, 26, 27).
