French term

Fonds bois

French to English Tech/Engineering Food & Drink Cheese making
From an audit of a cheese production company:

"L’atelier d’emballage est équipé de 3 lignes de conditionnement (1 automatique, 1 pour les fromages en caisses ou **fonds bois**, 1 pour les 500g emballés) et assure les expéditions vers la plateforme logistique du Groupe ..."
Proposed translations (English)
4 +3 wooden boxes
4 Wooden tray

Nikki Scott-Despaigne Oct 3, 2016:
"fond bois" = fond en bois = wooden base?
Can also suggest a removeable part made of wood.

Note that in your text, "fonds" is of course the plural of "fond" (base, bottom, etc.) and not "fonds" as the singular noun meaning "fund".

wooden boxes

This must be the sort of wooden box often associated with camembert (see my link).

Thanks Jennifer!Yes, same thing if you google cheese packaging and "wooden boxes"
disagree mchd : un fond bois n'est pas une boîte//Une boîte possède un couvercle, comme pour le camembert, un fonds bois n'en n'a pas comme pour certains types de pâtes molles

I assume you mean that "fond" is generic as opposed to specific shapes, as mentioned in your link? I think you can happily use "box" as an equally generic term / "Box" ne veut pas dire seulement "boîte", c'est très générique
agree Didier Fourcot : More specifically "affiné en caisse bois", for Coulommiers and Brie also see pictures here: http://www.briedeprovins.com/brie-de-caractere.htm

Combine your home-made cheeses with wood when it is least expected!

The containers will underline the craftsmanship and uniqueness of your best cheeses.

They make perfect gifts when presented on a woven-wood tray.
