Floral shipper

Abstract

A floral shipper comprising an inner container for supporting a floral grouping therein in an upright position and an outer container sized to receive therein the inner container and the upright floral grouping. The outer container has a bottom wall and a plurality of side walls extending upwardly therefrom. At least some of the side walls have a heightened portion that is greater than the height of the inner container and the floral grouping and have disposed therein ventilation openings for allowing air to circulate within the outer container. The ventilation openings are disposed in the at least some of the side walls so that when two or more outer containers are oriented adjacent one another, at least some ventilation openings of one outer container align with the ventilation openings of the adjacent outer container. A floral shipper assembly comprises a plurality of floral shippers and a pallet for supporting the floral shippers, wherein each shipper includes a width and length dimension such that when a plurality of the shippers are oriented adjacent one another, the overall width and overall length of the adjacent shippers substantially matches the respective width and length of the pallet onto which the floral shippers are arranged.
