Wrapped in quality
The way fish and seafood are packaged has a substantial impact on shelf-life. We take extra care to ensure every shipment has a well-protected cold chain journey.
Correctly identifying perishables also reduces the risk of lost or mishandled shipments. Your goods are clearly labelled with consignee details and markings for special instructions, handling position or dangerous goods when using dry ice.
Using temperature-controlled packaging, your products are delivered fresh anywhere in the world.
- Refrigerant gel packs are a frequently used option to add more control
- Leak-proof packaging with plastic liners for goods that thaw or perspire
- Airtight packages to limit damage during travel
- Dry ice, which is effective for keeping perishables frozen
