Hi - some of our vendors use clear, shallow plastic tubs with ice in them...and a block under the back to slightly tip the tub up so you can see inside it.  They put radishes, basil in bags, lettuce in bags, etc. Still keep some reserved in the cooler too!
 

Basil??? Basil doesn't like to be too cold; holding it even in the 40's is bad for it. Are you sure they're putting basil on ice? I would think it would turn black and limp. Are there several layers of insulation between the basil and the ice?
