The market for Chilled food products has increased steadily over the last several years with the demand for easy and quick food products for on the go or time poor people.

Transporting chilled products from the manufacturer to retail outlets takes a lot of planning to ensure that the items arrive in the perfect condition and are shipped in line with any food manufacturing and health & safety guidelines

Here are some options for chilled product packaging solutions that are perfect to ensure that your items arrive in the perfect condition:

• Polystyrene Boxes – These are the perfect option when shipping small chilled or frozen food product consignments as they ensure that the products held within are kept at a constant temperature when paired up with ice & gel packs. Ideal for if your items will be shipped on a normal commercial vehicle rather than cold store transport.

• Ice & Gel Packs – Thee products are a cost effective and easy way to regulate the temperature of your shipment during transit & storage. Placing these in with your products can ensure that they maintain the chilled temperature required to extend the shelf life and keep the products fresh during the supply chain process

• Freezer Tapes – Are ideal for use with products that will be stored & shipped in temperature-controlled environments. Most normal tapes will not be compatible with chilled temperatures and will start to unpeel, leaving the product open to damage & contamination. Freezer tapes will ensure that your parcel stays intact throughout the supply chain process, even in freezing temperatures.
