What is a “Split”?
Many foodservice distributors will
“split” the box. This means that
they open it and repackage the individually vacuum packed pieces into smaller sizes (one
or two per box vs. 5 or 6 per box.) This
reduces the case price and the case weight since there are fewer in the box. The distributor can get a premium for doing this,
as it creates a margin opportunity for them.
