Cold Chain Packaging Options For Fruits

By March 29, 2022 No Comments

coldDo you load fruits into the back of an old box truck and carry them to the local Farmers’ Market to sell? Perhaps it is an old mail vehicle or even a moving truck. As such, the cab might have air conditioning, but unfortunately, the back probably does not. That means the goods being transported in that location can be subjected to extreme temperatures. And if that happens, that won’t be good, so you need cold chain packaging options.

Fruits, berries, vegetables, and other perishables can be impacted negatively by high or freezing temperatures. The items can experience texture, flavor, color, and smell changes. Not to mention, if things get too bad, the pieces can wilt and die. So, if you transport bananas, strawberries, cucumbers, or something else, consider investing in one or more of these cold chain packaging options. They may be just what the doctor ordered for your shipment to reach its destination unscathed.

Thermal Blanket For Food Transportation

Refrigerated trucks are expensive, to say the very least. Thus, if you can’t afford one or simply don’t wish to spend an arm and a leg, have you ever thought about investing in a thermal blanket for food transportation? Don’t merely settle for any old covering, though. Only the best will do for you and your shipments. That’s why you should look into the SureTemp Elite Container Blanket.

This unit is reusable and heavy-duty. Plus, it protects against heat and cold. Thus, you’ll be able to use it for various types of shipments throughout the year. And, if some fruits don’t need the extra protection, you can always create temperature zones with the thermal blanket for cold chain packaging transportation to separate items.

Elite Pallet Cover And Premium Slip Sheet

Do you not carry full truckloads of fruits to the market? What about just a single pallet or two? If that’s the case, Elite Pallet Covers and Premium Slip Sheets may do the trick for you. The coverings are similar to the insulated blankets, and they protect against heat and cold. They are also reusable, lightweight, and easy to install. Meanwhile, a high-quality slip sheet can provide insulation and prevent heat or cold from escaping beneath the pallet.
