The pallet loading factor with Miami packaging is far superior to buckets-in-boxes. This advantage was evidenced in packaging tests with a range of flower types (as stated on the schedule).

Buckets-in-boxes need space to insert the bucket filled with water and flowers. With too many flowers there is no way people can reach in safely to pull the flowers up and out of the box.

With Miami packaging the collar is simply pulled out off the base. Every bit of space in the packaging unit is used flowers.

This improved use of space means lower transportation costs per stem, compared to buckets-in-boxes.
