Salmon Fillets
Protect chilled texture, skin-side presentation, contrôle des gouttes, and carton dryness without letting frozen gel packs touch the fish pack directly.
Seafood cold chain planning
Seafood Cold Chain Packaging Solutions
Seafood shipments fail for different reasons: fresh fillets can leak and lose texture, tuna steaks need tighter warm-dwell control, oysters must stay cold without freezing, and frozen seafood needs a separate frozen-route plan. This page helps match seafood type to insulation, placement du liquide de refroidissement, contrôle de l'humidité, et validation de l'itinéraire.
Start with the seafood form, not one standard box
Poisson frais, coquillages vivants, and frozen seafood need different coolant behavior. The packout should protect temperature, humidité, fuite, odeur, and product pressure at the same time.
Tuna Steaks
Control warm dwell, surface color, transfert d'odeur, and pressure marks for histamine-sensitive tuna programs that move through parcel or air routes.
Huîtres
Keep oysters cold, damp, and protected from freezing, standing meltwater, crushing force, and unreadable shellfish tags.
Typical seafood route choices
These planning ranges help decide which Tempk packout to validate first. Final coolant mass should be tested with the actual payload, taille de boîte, lane temperature, et niveau de service.
| Seafood route | Common target | Packaging structure | Coolant starting point | Watch first |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Filets frais, 8-18 h | Hold close to 0-2 C for quality while staying within the shipper’s food safety program. | Leak liner, tampon absorbant, product tray or vacuum bag, side/perimeter coolant, EPP or insulated carton. | À propos 0.6-1.2 kg conditioned gel packs or 0 C PCM for 1-3 kg de charge utile. | Direct freeze marks, goutte, cartons humides, transfert d'odeur. |
| Poisson frais, 18-36 h | Near-ice chilled route with less warm dwell at pickup and delivery. | Isolation plus forte, sealed inner liner, separated top and side coolant, logger in product air space. | À propos 1.2-2.4 kg gel packs or PCM for 1-3 kg de charge utile. | Coolant contact, compression de boîte, température de réception. |
| Coquillages vivants, 8-30 h | Cold and damp, but not frozen or submerged in meltwater. | Breathable or non-airtight shipper design as required, damp liner, shell protection, separated coolant above or beside product. | À propos 0.5-1.8 kg conditioned gel packs, adjusted to shellfish volume and season. | Freezing injury, eau stagnante, bris de coque, tag readability. |
| Fruits de mer gelés | -18 C or below when the route is specified as frozen. | Frozen shipper, dry ice or frozen coolant plan, vapor gap, label and carrier checks. | Use dry ice planning by box size, charge utile, temps de parcours, and carrier limit. | Sublimation sur glace carbonique, regulatory marking, thaw at last mile. |
Use these as planning ranges, puis valider. For frozen seafood pallets, voir Frozen Seafood Pallets.
Validation evidence for seafood routes
A seafood route check should show both temperature control and product condition at receiving: goutte, odeur, shell or fillet pressure, état de l'étiquette, and whether coolant stayed separated from the product.
