Answers
33 mins confidence: 
carton-type /pocket-type packaging Explanation: I'd go for something like this, given the (dental) cavity meaning of alvéole. The sort of thing I'm thing about are the square carton-like layers lined with small pockets used in boxes of apples etc., where pieces are placed on top of each other. There may be a specific name for it, but nothing springs to mind. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-01-24 11:14:55 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- PS, I typed apple, carton and packaging into Google and got a couple of manufacturers\' websites mentioning carton trays; so that might take things a bit forward. |

| The asker has declined this answer Comment: Many thanks. Your reasoning was good but later in the translation, mention was made of display purposes. The suggestion from Bourth seemed to fit in best with this idea. Your input was much appreciated. Very best regards Clive Jones | ||

| The asker has declined this answer Comment: Thank you for your input, The only quarrel I have with your suggestion is that is seems to imply that the fruit is entirely enclosed (like some confectionery). Also, the packaging is made of paper and I don't think you can blister package with paper. Many thanks Clive Jones | ||
56 mins confidence:
moulded cardboard Explanation: have a look at www.shopsaskatchewan.com/Tisdale/nuform.htm www.lboro.ac.uk/research/susdesign/InfoInsp/Inspiration/ Packaging/Video/vid%20pack%20main.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-01-24 11:35:51 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think it\'s less likely but it might also be sculpted foam alveole/alveole-melon.htm www.thermafoam.com/ packaging.jpg |

| The asker has declined this answer Comment: I agree with your definition "moulded cardboard" from which I have used the "moulded" part. However, Bourth's suggestion seemed closer. Many thanks | ||
4 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +4
peer agreement (net): +4(individual) cell Explanation: An alveole describes an individual cell, most used in the packaging of soft fruits, although I have seen apples in this sort of packaging. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-01-26 07:54:52 (GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- I agree with the tray idea, and Bourth\'s description of \"cups\" acurately describes what I had in mind. Still have a slight reservation about \"tray\" alone as it does not convey any idea of individual cells, cups or whatever. I guess without seeing the thing in question, it\'s difficult to know preciseley what is meant! \"Cell tray\" is not a bad solution - cf.
