| Fresh or frozen foods need to be kept within specified temperature ranges during transit. Bulk shipments are often made using refrigerated transport, but for smaller shipments, particularly those using couriers, this is not possible. This is why using temperature controlled packaging is of advantageous, it will help keep products within the correct temperature range, thus making sure your produce arrives fresh and unspoilt. How many ice packs will I need? The amount of ice required varies according to several factors, such as outside temperature, time in transit, weight and type of product, packing temperature etc. We are always happy to offer advice for specific situations so please feel free to contact us with your query. How do I use the absorbent (non hydrated) ice pads & strips? Our non hydrated ice needs a short soak in fresh water before they can be frozen.

Which size of box should I use? Our poly box size list details our standard box range.

The list details both internal and external dimensions of each box. Once you have confirmed the overall size of the products to be shipped, together with an allowance for ice, please check the list to find the nearest size available.

Are your products environmentally friendly? We offer two types of temperature controlled packaging. Both are made from materials which are classified as plastics, and one system also uses paper-based materials. Our Poly boxes are made from expanded polystyrene which is fully recyclable. In its moulded form it is 98% air and 2% styrene. Poly boxes can be used with or without a carton, are very light and offer unbeatable insulation qualities at their price level. They are non-toxic and all are made in the UK in our own plants.
