When the plant creates a bud in the spring, this bud is going to be a flower. If the bud is picked before it becomes a flower, it is called a caper bud.Caper buds shall be packed in such a way as to properly protect the produce. The materials used inside the package shall be clean and of such a quality as to avoid causing any external or internal damage to the produce. The use of materials, particularly of paper or stamps bearing trade specifications, is allowed, provided that the printing or labelling has been done with non-toxic ink or glue. Packages shall be free of all kinds of foreign matter.For the measurement of the physical quantities affecting storage, see ISO 2169. The optimum temperature for the storage and transport of caper buds is between +10。C and +15 °C. Caper buds are highly perishable and therefore they should be stored and transported for the shortest time possible. The quality should be maintained for about 15 days at the optimum temperature of +10 °C  to +15 °C and at 80 % to 90 % relative humidity. During storage and transport, the circulation of air should be ensured so that a constant temperature and relative humidity are maintained. Caper buds packed in wooden crates or fibreboard boxes may be placed in a precooled cold store in stacks, according to the load-bearing capacity of the containers. Refrigeration of the caper buds should be maintained during transport. For this purpose, ice-refrigerated or mechanically refrigerated railway trucks or refrigerated lorries may be used.
