How to Ship Frozen Food

The logistics of shipping frozen food include many variables. Factors including the unique product requirements, shipping duration and careful consideration of the weather conditions impact the preparations required. Shipping frozen meat to Montana in January requires an entirely different game plan than transporting ice cream to Florida in July. 

Preparations for maintaining strict temperature ranges when shipping temperature-sensitive food include the following:

  • Quality packaging solutions: Create thermal barriers between the frozen food and outside temperatures.
  • Include insulation: Fill all gaps inside insulated boxes to enhance temperature stability.
