How many times have you tried to ship your homemade specialties and/or miscellaneous food related care packages to your kids who are away at college or special holiday treats to the relatives, only to have them arrive thawed out and soggy? I know several people who have been through it and it's no fun. It's definitely not worth trying to do it yourself unless you know your methods of packing perishables are corrosion proof and won't promote condensation and spoilage.
There are a lot of variables to consider when choosing a insulated shipping container and/or refrigerant to protect the items you're shipping from the weather, shock, vibrations, compression and aircraft atmospheric pressures encountered during the distribution cycle. The three most crucial aspects are: the insulation, refrigerant and protective product packaging. Besides just providing thermal protection, you need to provide protection for any rough handling your items may endure during shipment.
Insulated shipping containers are actually used to ship a variety of temperature sensitive items besides food, including chemicals and pharmaceuticals and help maintain product efficacy and freshness. The insulation in the corrugated boxes maintains a specific temperature range during shipping, ensuring that everything enclosed arrives safely and at the perfect temperature. FastPack's insulated shipping containers feature a thick molded foam insert that besides maintaining the ideal temperature protects the contents from being damaged during shipping.
You can also combine the insulated shipping containers with ice cold packs for added protection and we carry a variety of both. Cold packs keep perishables at a consistent and desirable temperature for days and can extend your shipping times, cutting down on shipping charges. In addition, cold packs are leak proof, reusable and cost effective.
