Shipping info on Perishables

Many companies that sell perishables are enjoying the online marketing experience. Shipping perishables can be tricky but given a few guidelines to follow can save that shipment from harm.
Use Insulated Shipping Boxes - This is probably the most important part of shipping perishables. Using a quality insulated box is key to getting that perishable to its destination.
Use Quality Ice Packs - Using good quality ice packs or gel packs can make a difference when shipping perishables. If a container is left on the dock for a weekend, it can mean the difference of spoiled goods or fresh goods being delivered.
Use Plastic Bag Liners - Using a plastic bag liner will increase the effectiveness of your cool packaging. A delivery truck can get very hot in the back and a good plastic bag liner will make your container cooler. Whatever the heat is outside the box never should be the heat inside the box. Most boxes do not make an airtight seal.
Use the Perfect Box - Using a box that is too big means you will be having to cool more space. If your box is too big, you may be overworking that cooling agent.
Tightly Pack Boxes - Shifting items in your box may mean that your perishable will have an uncooled side or edge and that can spell disaster for your product.
Making sure your perishables arrive safely and in good condition can make the difference between a happy customer and a never use your company again customer.
