Abstract
Pickled products immersed in a pickling solution are packaged in a cardboard box for shipment to customers. The box is lined with a plastic bag to protect the pickled products and pickling solution from contaminants, and to prevent the pickling solution from leaking. The cardboard boxes may be arranged in multiple layers on a pallet for shipment. The pickled products may be put in the box in a pickled state or in a raw state, whereupon they cure to the pickled state during shipment.
