This video demonstrates how plums are packed at a packinghouse in California.

This video was taken at Simonian Fruit Company in Fowler, California and shows the steps each plum goes through at the packinghouse, including being dry dumped onto the conveyor, going through a single-pass wash step, being hand sorted for quality, and then packed accordingly. Once the boxes are filled, they have a final weigh and quality check and are palletized.
