Packaging Guidelines for Frozen and Refrigerated Food Products

Packaging Guidelines For Frozen Food Products

Frozen Products that need to be keep at or below 32° F (O° C), will be recommended to store in insulated container.

- If the shipment contains liquid or perishable products that can melt or thaw, a double layered of 2 mil or thicker watertight plastic bags are recommend to use to wrap around the product. An alternative is to lay 2 mil or thicker plastic liner and some absorbent material inside of the insulated container.

- Arrange products compactly, but leave a 5cm space of around the products for dry ice and close the bag securely. Position the dry ice in the corrugated box at the bottom and around the products.

- Pack tightly and fill empty air spaces with dunnage. Place the lid over insulated container. Do not seal completely. (Some venting is needed to allow carbon dioxide gas to escape). Place closed insulated container inside an outer corrugated box.






Packaging Guidelines For Refrigerated Food Products

The packaging guidelines for refrigerated shipments are similar to the guidelines for frozen shipments, the only different is the type of coolants/ refrigerants used which is coolant in this case and not dry ices.
