What makes this seafood box leak-resistant?
Leak resistance comes from several layers: sealed primary seafood packaging, an intact secondary liner, matériau absorbant, a fitted EPS container and consistent outer-carton closure. The finished packout should be checked for the expected liquid volume and handling orientation.
Is leak-resistant the same as leak-proof?
Non. Leak-resistant describes a design intended to reduce and contain leakage. Actual containment depends on the product bags, liner material and closure, capacité d'absorption, packout quality and handling. A buyer should test the complete packed system before shipment.
What temperature should chilled or frozen seafood use?
Chilled seafood programs are commonly developed around 0–4 °C, while frozen seafood is commonly handled at −18 °C or below. The seafood species, forme de produit, buyer specification and destination rules determine the final limits.
Can I use gel packs, wet ice or dry ice?
Gel or PCM packs are common for clean chilled packouts. Wet ice may be used only when meltwater can be contained and the carrier accepts it. Dry ice is generally used for frozen programs and requires ventilation, séparation, marquage, documentation and carrier acceptance.
How long can the box keep seafood cold?
There is no single duration for an empty shipper. Masse de charge utile, température de départ, type et quantité de liquide de refroidissement, EPS thickness, l'exposition ambiante et la manipulation affectent toutes les performances. Overnight and 24–48-hour lanes are common development starting points, followed by testing.
Quelle épaisseur de paroi EPS dois-je choisir?
Many parcel projects begin within a 25–60 mm range. Short chilled routes may use a thinner wall, while long, hot or frozen routes may require thicker insulation and more refrigerant. Tempk selects a starting design after reviewing the shipment profile.
Does seafood touch the EPS or liner directly?
Seafood should normally remain in sealed, food-suitable primary packaging. Where a liner or other component may contact food, the required material declaration should be specified for the destination market.
Can this shipper be used for live seafood?
It is intended primarily for packed chilled or frozen seafood. Live aquatic shipments may need species-specific oxygen, eau, température, containment and carrier arrangements and should be developed as a separate packout.
Can Tempk provide custom sizes and printed cartons?
Oui. Tempk can adjust the usable cavity, EPS wall thickness and density, résistance du carton, doublure, système absorbant, séparateurs, coolant layout and printing, sous réserve d'outillage et d'exigences de commande.
Should the completed seafood packout be tested?
Oui. Test representative seafood, masse de liquide de refroidissement, condition de départ, profil ambiant, vibration, baisse, compression and leakage risk before routine, long-distance, air-freight or seasonal shipments.
