Lansbergen Gerbera’s in Holland have produced a new box for packaging gerbera flowers called the ‘Gevmonica Airpack’ which  contains 48 gerebra flowers occupying  half the volume of a standard gerbera box. Developed by Van Diuvenbooden in Aalsmeer, each flower is inserted into its own cup ensuring that no mechanical damage can take place between the flowers with a much reduced risk of Botrytis.  In addition florists can remove single flowers from the box by pulling the stem through the protective paper cover.  This new box might also be introduced for road transport considering the space saving potential  www.lansbergen.com, E-mail:
