Dutch term or phrase: kuubkist
Term afkomstig uit website tekst van een bedrijf dat bloembollen schoonmaakt. Ik heb de meer algemene term "flower bulb crate" al wel gevonden maar ben op zoek naar een meer specifiekere vertaling. Afbeelding is te zien op: http://www.openhaardhoutonline.nl/index.php?pagina=producten...

Bij voorbaak dank!

Explanation:
The point is that the crate holds a volume of 1 kuub = 1m3 [the 3 should be in superscript, of course].
