For the design of protective packaging for the distribution of fresh market peaches, it is important to determine the damage loss cost curve. This curve combines data on the frequency of drops in distribution as a function of drop height with the likelihood of losses occurring from damage resulting from impacts from specific drop heights. For fresh market peaches, externally visible bruises are the impact damage producing losses. In this study peaches of six cultivars were dropped onto a steel plate from heights in the range 8-38 cm. They were visually examined externally and internally for bruises and for fiber tears. Results were combined with data from a previous study covering the overlapping range of 31-91 cm. and used to calculate the damage loss cost curves for Redhaven peaches and for the composite of the six cultivars. The curves predict worst case losses in the 95% range for packages designed to protect against drops of 16 cm or less. Worst case losses decrease steadily with package designs ranging up to 46 cm where losses are in the 10-20% range.
