The development of the transcontinental railroad made it possible to ship fresh fruit from California and Florida to East Coast markets, and the labels were used to identify the source of the fruit and to promote the brand. The earliest labels were created using stone lithography, a printing process that allows for detailed images to be created. The labels often featured colorful illustrations of fruit, landscapes, or animals. As the fruit industry grew, so did the demand for more creative and eye-catching labels. In the early 20th century, new printing techniques such as half-tone and rotary offset printing were developed, which allowed for even more detailed and realistic images to be created. The labels also became more sophisticated in their design, incorporating typography, symbols, and other elements to create a more visually appealing and memorable product. Lithographic fruit crate labels reached their peak of popularity in the 1920s and 1930s. However, the advent of corrugated cardboard boxes in the 1950s led to the decline of wooden crates and, with them, the use of lithographic labels.
