Run the coolant estimate
Utiliser le poids de la charge utile, taille de boîte, temps de parcours, and seasonal temperature before finalizing gel pack or PCM mass.

Salmon Fillets Cold Chain Packaging Solution
Salmon fillets need a cold route that protects texture, couleur, and carton cleanliness. The packout should hold the fillet close to ice temperature, separate coolant from the fish pack, absorb purge, and avoid pressure marks from frozen gel packs or heavy top loads.
Intention de températurePlanifier 0-2 C for quality-sensitive chilled salmon, while meeting the shipper's food safety program and destination rules.
Contrôle de l'humiditéUse liner and absorbent layers so leakage or condensation does not reach the outer carton.
Coolant ruleDo not place frozen gel packs directly against exposed trays or vacuum packs. Direct cold contact can create freeze marks, gaping, ou perte de texture.
Contrôle de validationConfirmer la température du produit, état du colis, emplacement du liquide de refroidissement, and receiving quality together.
Choose the packout by route condition
The coolant amounts below are starting ranges for planning. Final packout should be validated with the exact payload, insulation size, carrier lane, et assaisonner.
| État de l'itinéraire | Intention de température | Tempk packaging setup | Coolant planning range | Emplacement du liquide de refroidissement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Retail sample or local delivery, 8-18 h | 0-2 C réfrigéré | EPP box or insulated carton, doublure scellée, tampon absorbant, tray or vacuum pack. | 0.6-1.2 kg conditioned gel packs or 0 C PCM for 1-3 kg de charge utile. | Side and perimeter coolant with a divider; keep the top layer light to avoid fillet pressure. |
| Overnight seafood parcel, 18-36 h | 0-2 C with limited warm dwell | Isolation plus épaisse, doublure intérieure, couche absorbante, logger in product air space. | 1.2-2.2 kg gel packs or PCM for 1-3 kg de charge utile. | Top and side coolant separated from product; leave a small air path around the product chamber. |
| Hot weather or delay risk, 36-48 h | Validated chilled lane | Isolation supérieure, reduced headspace, double leak control, service-level check. | 2.2-3.8 kg gel packs or PCM for 1-3 kg de charge utile. | Évitez le contact direct. Consider smaller box volume, faster carrier service, or pre-qualified shipper size. |

Packout sequence that protects product quality
Small layout changes can decide whether the receiver sees a clean chilled seafood parcel or a wet, pressured, partially frozen product.
1
Pre-cool the fish and packaging
Load salmon already chilled. Warm trays, doublures, and cartons can consume coolant before the parcel leaves the origin.
2
Build a dry inner chamber
Use a leak liner plus absorbent pad so purge does not reach the outer carton or customer-facing label.
3
Separate coolant from the fillet pack
Place gel packs or PCM around the side wall and above the chamber only with a divider. Avoid heavy frozen packs pressing into fillet edges.
4
Check receiving quality
Enregistrer la température du produit, drip level, odeur, carton mouillé, état de l'étiquette, and any freeze marks before changing coolant mass.
Common losses this packout is meant to prevent
Use these receiving checks when adjusting coolant quantity, épaisseur d'isolation, or internal separation.
Quality and packaging risks
- Gaping or soft texture from freeze contact or heavy top load.
- Wet shipper and returns caused by purge or melted ice leakage.
- Surface odor transfer when fish bags, doublures, or absorbents are underspecified.
- Warm top layer when coolant is only placed under the product.
Outils, composants, and related seafood routes
Use the product page for the packaging logic, then use the tools to size the first trial packout before a lane test.
Choose coolant behavior
Compare frozen gel packs, packs de gel conditionnés, et 0 C PCM so the product is cooled without direct freeze injury.
Vérifier le risque de voie
Review lane time, ramassage en direct, retard du dernier kilomètre, and receiver process before launch.
Need a seafood packout checked before launch?
Share the seafood form, poids de charge utile, taille de boîte, niveau de service, origin temperature, saison des voies, and receiving window. Tempk can help compare insulation, masse de liquide de refroidissement, placement, et étapes de validation.
