Not all meal kit companies are large corporations and firms. Sure, there are some of those places, but there are also local establishments. Do you own one of them and make deliveries? That’s great if that is the case, as it sounds like you have a solid business plan going. And eventually, you’re probably going to be able to expand the operation, especially with insulated shipping boxes.
However, the further the deliveries get away from your office or warehouse, the more challenging it will become to protect them from extreme heat. Businesses don’t typically run into trouble when their customers are nearby. But the back of a box truck with no air conditioning can spell trouble when deliveries are way out.
What Can Happen?
Obviously, what can happen to the meal kit ingredients in hot conditions will vary. For instance, heat promotes decay in fruits and vegetables. Therefore, those items could wilt, die, and rot during transport if you aren’t careful. Meanwhile, when meats get overly hot, they can become contaminated and spoil. The point is that bad things happen to meal kits when they don’t get protection from extreme temperatures. The following are solutions that can help you with such predicaments.
Insulated Shipping Boxes
Placing meal kits inside insulated shipping boxes can protect them from the heat. Our liners fit inside or around standard FedEx, USPS, and UPS boxes. Two options are available, single-bubble insulation and double-bubble insulation. The first is primarily for heat protection, while the latter protects from heat and cold. These products are for single use, and they’re easy to install.
In addition, the pieces are lightweight. Thus, if you decide to mail the insulated shipping boxes or use a courier service to deliver them, your costs shouldn’t increase, or if they do, it should be minimal. And don’t fret if standard box sizes just won’t work. The double-bubble solution is also available in custom sizes.
Some Last Words
Replacing orders lost because of extreme heat can eat your budget up in a hurry. So, don’t let it. Rather, use our liners to create boxes with insulation that will protect products from high temperatures and their effects. If liners aren’t your cup of tea, all is not lost. We could very well have something else that you need, like a pallet cover or container blanket, perhaps. Contact us to learn more today.
