A series of cardboard boxes stacked with one full side picture of a box shown.  They are Blue and White cardboard boxes with blue running left to right for 2/3rds length of the box then turning to white, that contains cantaloupes inside a clear plastic liner with vent holes on the left and the right.  You can see the cantaloupes through the cut out.  At the top of the box in white lettering reads, “CANTALOUPES.”  On the right top side, just to the top left on the vent hole is a white label with black lettering and the United Product Code line symbol.  The label reads top to bottom, “TropiFresh P.O. 5050 Carrillo Lote: 010-02-009 Ano: 2007.”  The United Product Code lines follow with the numbers under the lines unreadable. There is a yellow circle in the left middle of the blue part of the box with the following word, “fyffes.”  Below this word is a white banding strap that runs across the box, left to right and cuts through two cantaloupes one on top of the other.  The first cantaloupe is yellow and green showing the skin and the second one is all yellow trimmed in green.  The second vent hole cuts into the yellow cantaloupes.”
