Excerpt from Transportation of Florida Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate: A Case Study of Carrier Competition Induced by Dynamic Industry Growth Although not generally available in the early years, almost 80 percent of Florida's frozen orange juice concentrate output is now packed in 6-ounce consumer-size cans, 48 to a case. The second most important size from the standpoint of the trade is the 32-ounce institutional-size, packed 12 cans to a case. This is the size purchased principally by hotels, restaurants, and others who buy in quantity. About 7 percent of the 1952-53 season sales 'was in the institutional-size container. It was expected that 10 million gallons would be packed in containers of this Size in the 1953-54 season. The third most important size is the 12-ounce consumer-size can, packed 24 cans to a case. Although less than 6 percent of the 1952-53 season's output 'was marketed in containers of this size, consumer acceptance of this package has been so encouraging that several processors were planning a substantial increase for the 1953-54 season. Concentrate packed in 5-gallon containers in 1952-53 accounted for about 1 percent of the total pack. In addition to the sizes mentioned, a 4-ounce consumer-size can, a 46-ounce can, and a No. 2%-size can were tried out experimentally by several processors, but have been largely discontinued.
