The 10lb cartons are versatile, holding Navel or Cara oranges, while the matching display bins can hold a variety of in-season citrus, including Pummelos.
Citrus fruits are sacred in Lunar New Year celebrations, symbolizing good fortune, prosperity, and health. To honor this cultural occasion, the company has created custom-designed 10lb cartons and display bins featuring authentic Chinese-inspired illustrations. The packaging highlights the celebratory colors of red and gold, representing luck and wealth in Chinese culture.
"Our Lunar New Year display bins are ideal for promoting our citrus fruit, including Pummelo grapefruit," says Cassie Howard, senior director of category management and marketing at Sunkist. "It's the largest citrus fruit, with a zesty, tropical scent and a sweet, tangy flavor. Pummelos are displayed in homes and are consumed for good luck during Lunar New Year festivities."
