An improved fruit and produce container comprising:

• a) a bottom and two side walls formed of a common piece of corrugated cardboard;
• b) two end walls formed of laminated paperboard attached to said bottom and said side walls so as to define a box;
• c) slots formed at perpendicular intersections of said bottom and said side walls, said slots facilitating the introduction of desired gases into said container;
• d) openings formed intermediate said top and said side walls;
• e) wherein said two laminated paperboard end walls enhance stacking strength and moisture resistance of the container;
• and
• f) wherein said slots cooperate with said openings to form conduits, said conduits facilitating the introduction of desired gases into said container.
