Transporting food or frozen food is somewhat complex, especially in the summer when temperatures are through the roof. Whether in commercial transport, business deliveries or customer trips, it is important that the cold chain is not broken or its properties altered.

For this reason, from Britwrap protective packaging, we will leave you some very practical tips and tricks with which you will keep these frozen products in good condition. We will also recommend some utensils and containers suitable for conserving frozen products. 

Tips for correctly preserving frozen products and food during transport

We have divided the tips based on your target user. On the one hand, we offer you advice for the professionals involved. On the other hand, we will mention the tricks for home users.

Frozen storage tips for professional users

  • Transport the products in adapted vehicles: refrigerated vans or vehicles with freezers are ideal for this. In this way, no matter how long the journey, the technicians make sure that the product maintains the best conditions. 
  • Have curtains on the door of the van: insulating curtains on the door of the refrigerator or freezer of the van or truck will prevent the temperature from being excessively affected and changed.
  • Avoid breaking the cold chain: this point is extremely important since the quality of the food can be affected if the cold chain is broken. For this reason, it is essential not to subject the products to sudden changes in temperature in any of the phases of their transfer.
  • Freezing and cooling the transport boxes before putting the products in this point is extremely important since, in this way, the products will pass from one cold atmosphere to another without changing. 
  • Carry out the delivery of frozen foods first thing in the morning or at night: this prevents the products from being exposed to high temperatures and direct sunlight during the transfer from the truck or van to the store. 

Frozen storage tips for home users

  • Have thermal bags or portable refrigerators: they must be made of quality materials and well insulated. Today the market offers a wide variety of high quality. 
  • Keep the inside of that bag or cooler very cold: this can be done using frozen water bottles, ice packs, or specific utensils that exist to keep portable coolers cold. 
  • Store the bag or cooler inside the car: it is very important to do this and not put that bag in the trunk since there is air conditioning inside the car and the temperature is lower than outside and in the trunk. This prevents the bag from being exposed to high temperatures, and its interior temperature can stay cold for longer. 

What products are good for preserving and transporting frozen food?

From Britwrap, we recommend the following containers to preserve and transport frozen food. You can find them all in our store's catalog:

  • Cold accumulator: one of the star products for keeping frozen and fresh products at a low temperature. It is presented in small bags filled with eutectic gel, which allows for maintaining the low temperature of boxes, bags or refrigerators while transporting these products. 
  • Porex boxes: Combined with the previous product, these boxes are perfect for transporting frozen products. Polystyrene, pyrex, pyrex pan, polystyrene or white cork is a material that allows boxes to perfectly insulate their contents from the outside and keep temperatures low. They must be combined with the pore's lids.
  • ZIP self-closing bags: made of low-density polyethylene, these bags are a good option for packaging fresh foods that must be frozen. Its ZIP closure allows the content to be isolated, whether liquid or solid, preventing it from spilling, escaping or coming into contact with the outside.  
  • Professional cooling pack: 90 microns thick; these bags have been manufactured by laminar extrusion of polyamide and polyethylene. Making a vacuum seal allows the piece of food not to burn with the cold of the deep-frozen, in addition to keeping it perfectly isolated from the outside. Polyethylene and polyamide withstand low temperatures very well.
