Food shipments can be challenging at times, to say the very least. If ingredients get too hot, they can get ruined. The same can be said for items that get too cold. However, many entrepreneurs have decided to take tackle this challenge head-on by opening meal kit companies. With some industry stats, it’s easy to see how they might think the reward is worth the risk.
For instance, according to Review Chatter, in the last half of 2018, 14.3-million households purchased meal kits. That number had grown by 3.8-million in 2017, and it has surely continued to climb. After all, more people than ever before are staying home these days because of COVID-19. But they have to eat.
Complaints And More Complaints
If you ship your meal kits out in nothing more than thin cardboard boxes, the foods could freeze or thaw in the blink of an eye. Once that happens, it won’t take any time for the complaints to come rushing in. Nothing about that would be nice. For one, you’d have to listen and apologize like a million times. Plus, the company will probably go in the red by issuing refunds and replacement orders. So, protect your shipments from extreme temperatures to keep these and other hardships at bay.
Insulated Box Liners
Do your meal kits get shipped in standard UPS, USPS, or FedEx boxes? If that’s the case, invest in our insulated box liners. They fit inside or around these containers, turning them into insulated shipping boxes. Don’t fret if you regularly ship packages that are oddly shaped, though. Our double-bubble insulated box liners are available in custom sizes. These units are lightweight and easy to install. In addition, they are designed for single-use. Therefore, your team simply does their thing, mails the boxes off, and then forgets about the insulated box liners.
Insulated Pallet Covers
So, you don’t mail your meal kits? What about delivering them in the back of a box truck? Is that more of your style? If your meal kits are typically stacked on a pallet beforehand, you might want to use an insulated pallet cover to protect them from heat and cold. Even if the trip normally doesn’t take that long, plenty of things could happen, leaving you and the delivery stuck in traffic or on the side of the road somewhere. So, prevent a catastrophe by covering your meal kit deliveries each and every time.
These two tools can help protect your meal kit shipments from extreme temperatures. Then, you won’t have to worry about complaints coming in, at least not from customers receiving ingredients that got ruined by the heat or cold. Contact us to place your order today.
