BOXES AND COOPERAGE

SPECIFICATIONS FOR PACKAGES -- REFRIGERATOR BOXES.
=Specifications for Boxes.=--Of the many supplies needed about a
packing house, one of the most important is boxes into which the
finished products are packed ready for shipment. Where they are used
in such large numbers, it is very essential to have a box suitable
for the products which will be packed into it without waste of room,
sufficiently strong to withstand handling in transit and at the same
time of minimum weight on account of freight charges.
The kind of lumber used for packing boxes varies in different
localities. Cottonwood is the best and wherever available, should be
used. The packing house industry has created a very important outlet
for this otherwise almost worthless wood. It has no natural flavor and
is very desirable for lard, butterine boxes, etc. It is used for making
the small-sized packages into which lard is drawn direct instead of
using pails or tubs. Boxes for these purposes are usually dovetailed
and have a sliding cover. Where cottonwood is not available white pine
is used, although in this case it is necessary to use thicker lumber,
which as a consequence makes the boxes heavier. The following list
gives the kind of boxes, inside measurements, thickness of lumber in
the sides, top, bottom, ends and cleats, where necessary. The figures
are applicable to cottonwood only:

=Government specifications for Packages.=--The following are the
government specifications for packages containing pork or beef:
The packages must be made entirely new and of the best seasoned
heart-of-white oak staves and headings: The staves shall not be less
than ⁵⁄₈-inch thick and the headings not less than ³⁄₄-inch thick.
They shall be three-quarter hooped over, including galvanized iron
hoops with the best hickory hoops, and each one-half barrel shall have
on it four galvanized iron hoops; one of 1¹⁄₄ inches in width to each
bilge and one of 1¹⁄₈ inches in width on each chime, and each shall be
¹⁄₁₆-inch thick.
Each half barrel shall have a capacity of sixteen gallons and must be
branded, if it contains beef, by burning on its head “Navy Beef,” name
of the contractor, name of packer’s brand, and on the bung stave, the
letter “P.”
=Refrigerator Boxes.=--In the shipping of fresh meats which are to be
sent by express, or where small quantities are sent in insufficient
amounts to warrant the use of a car, thousands of refrigerator boxes
are used. In such cases a good refrigerator box is made necessary in
the handling of the product to the trade--a box that will stand the
abuse, wear and tear in shipping and at the same time one that is not
excessively heavy, adding unnecessarily to the express charges. The
dimensions given below are for wooden boxes which are generally made
of 1-inch clear pine lumber, the corners being securely fastened with
angle iron, or with heavy galvanized iron, and the covers put on with
specially strong hinges as the boxes meet with a great deal of hard
usage and when filled must necessarily be strong in order to withstand
the jar and strain.
A galvanized iron box containing the meat is placed inside of the
wooden box, leaving about two inches of space around it and four
inches of space on top. The meat to be shipped is packed tightly into
the galvanized iron box, which is then placed in the wooden box and
the space around the sides and top filled with crushed ice. In this
condition meat will keep fresh in hot weather for from thirty-six to
forty-eight hours under ordinary conditions.
The following dimensions are those generally in use for the different
sized wooden boxes enumerated:
Capacity Inside measure, inches
50 pounds 26 × 16¹⁄₂ × 9
100 pounds 24 × 18 × 14
