The present investigation focused to minimize the transportation losses in fresh figs (Ficus carica L.) through developing a honeycomb structured packaging material using 100 GSM craft paper based on the average of maximum diameter of the fruits. Freshly harvested fig fruits of commercial maturity and free from bruises/injury were packed in CFB box with news paper lining (Control), CFB box with single layer of fruits and CFB box with honeycomb packaging material lining. The packed fruits were transported to a distance of 300 km by road. The quality parameters viz., physiological loss in weight, firmness, per cent damage fruits and decay loss were analysed after transportation and during storage. The results showed that the percent damage (bruised and peeled) was significantly varied with different packaging materials. The fruit damage was found to be highest in case of CFB box with paper lining (12.2%) followed by CFB box with single layer packing (4.5%) and the lowest of 2.8% was observed in CFB box with honeycomb packaging material. Similarly, the higher firmness, lesser decay loss and less increase in TSS were found in case of fruits packed in honeycomb packaging material compared to other treatments during storage. It would be concluded from the present investigation that the CFB box with honeycomb packaging material could be adopted by the farmers and traders for reducing the transportation damage and for enhancing the shelf life of fig fruits.
