For suppliers to send goods, intact and fresh,to retailers around the country, or even the world, specific wrapping is a must. For example, if it is a fish based consignment, Seafood Packaging should be used to keep the product fresh and stop it from contaminating other parcels. Extra care should be taken when choosing Poultry Boxes since it is widely known that fluid drips from chicken or chicken pieces cause severe food poisoning. The choice for ‘wet’ products that are likely to leak like food and perishables is Wax Packaging.
This type of container is necessary
to alleviate cross contamination. Kalamari and other ‘fishy’ things are a particularly smelly cargo and will be thought to be spoiled if tainted with any other smell or liquid. These cartons are best used with a cooling system like gel packs that are frozen when the order is about to go out. They are inserted into the cartons, in and on the goods, and they ensure that the food or perishables stay as cold as possible while they are in transit. This cuts down on any spoilage and ensures that the goods are delivered in an ‘as fresh as possible’ condition.
Once customers are satisfied that all delicacies and fresh foodwill always be delivered in an uncontaminated, fresh state then the company producing the cartons will always have a customer!
Where chicken is concerned, keeping drips off other goods is very important. Who remembers the salmonella outbreak that occurred a number of years ago and the controversy it caused? Even egg producers were in dire problems because of the lack of clients who wouldn’t buy these products for fear of contracting the disease. Indeed, this disease proved horrendous in some cases.
Many carton manufacturers will tailor-make the cartons in the style and size required. This is great for anyone wanting anything other than normal sizes and will also promote customer loyalty. Standardized containers can be used, but if the client sells smaller quantities then smaller consignments will obviously need smaller containers.
The cartons are made up of very sturdy cardboard, and coated with a waxy type coating. This makes sure that the container is built to resist any liquid spills and also proves to be very strong too. Consider what weight and size of the consignment and then choose the container. Depending on what it will be carrying, cartons that don’t break are the obvious choice for any company. They may be used in other ways if care is taken when handling them. Again though, cross contamination is a possibility if care is not taken.
Don’t forget the the need for effective marketing connected to purpose made cartons either. Because they are custom made, these containers are a great advertising tool with printed advertising on the side for all to see. Phone numbers, email and postal addresses can also be displayed with a design depicting the company and will become synonymous with the product.
They will not only keep the product fresh, but they will also spread the company name not only to its destination but all along the way too and it won’t cost a single cent! This is a great way to offset the cost of the purpose built; customized cartons and they will pay for themselves in future.
