What is the difference between a fresh fruit basket for hand delivery and a shippable hamper?
Fresh fruit baskets are arranged in open, handled baskets that are then covered with fine netting. They are designed for hand delivery only, as they must be kept upright. In contrast, fresh fruit and fine food hampers are designed for shipping. The ingredients are nestled in paper excelsior and closed in a lidded willow hamper. The hampers are shipped in cardboard boxes, with ice packs when necessary.
