Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cooperative Procurement of Containers for Fruit and Vegetable Processing Metal cans accounted for 68 percent of the expenditures for containers; corrugated card board cases (including cannery cases) for 19 percent; glass containers represented 7 per cent; and other items amounted to 6 percent of the total. About 80 percent of the container items were transported directly from suppliers' plants in truckloads, 16 percent were carload lots, and 4 percent were smaller lots. Cooperatives bought 92 percent of their containers directly from manufacturers. Serv ice and price were the main reasons given. Processors relied on manufacturers to deliver containers on an as needed basis. The cooperatives' beginning and ending inventories of containers averaged percent of annual purchases and peak stocks averaged per cent.
