Ways To Not Let Transporting Chocolate Turn Into A Sticky Nightmare

By February 26, 2019 No Comments

There are lots of products that require sustainable temperature protection. For instance, certain foods like veggies may wilt and die if they are exposed to extreme heat for extended periods. Also, fruits and vegetables can be damaged by freezing temperatures too. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, some of the types that are most sensitive to the cold include but are not limited to…

• Lettuce
• Asparagus
• Plums
• Apricots
• Berries

Electronic devices can sustain damages from such conditions too. If internal components get too hot or cold, the equipment may fail to operate properly. However, with Valentine’s Day and Easter right around the corner, it is only fitting to discuss protecting candy shipments, especially chocolate. It comes in all shapes and sizes from little nuggets in heart-shaped boxes, bunny molds, and more. Regardless of what it looks like, to begin with, if the item is not adequately protected, it won’t look the same upon arriving at its final destination.

The last thing consumers want is to receive a melted, sticky, and clumped together mess. Therefore, transport companies must think creatively when it comes to how they protect shipments. Of course, the organizations usually have insurance to cover the losses, but still, if the problem occurs again and again, the seller will likely look to other companies for their shipping needs. After all, they can only handle losing so much money from having to send out replacement items.

Products Worthy Of Being Added To Any Fleet

1. A Passive Pallet Cover

These coverings are an excellent form of secondary protection. They are ideal for both Air and LTL shipments. There are different options available, but for these purposes, the 300 GSM model will be discussed. The passive pallet cover allows for easy installation, which is a big draw.
