Excerpts from the report: Many turkeys are hauled long distances to market. For example, California and Minnesota producers do a heavy volume of business in New York City. Turkeys require sturdy, well designed containers that can withstand the rigors of storage in high stacks that will not tip or collapse, and of long, jolting shipments. This study was undertaken to help provide container manufacturers and turkey processors with information helpful in selecting and developing containers, at the lowest possible cost, that will effectively protect the product and minimize the marketing problems in handling, moving, and storing frozen turkeys. An economic evaluation was made of five conventionally used containers, selected in the preliminary survey, varying in size, strength, shape, construction, design, and cost.
