Refrigerated vehicles are widely used in the transport of perishable products. Refrigerated lorries contain a cooling installation that keeps products at the right temperature. Due to the cooling installation, refrigerated vehicles use more energy, which results in higher costs.
This makes the use of refrigerated trucks cost-effective only when shipping large quantities of perishable products. However, due to changes in consumer buying behaviour, small quantities of perishable products are increasingly being delivered. Sales of meal boxes, for instance, have risen sharply in recent years. In addition, consumers increasingly use delivery services of supermarkets and other specialty shops. Thus, it is becoming increasingly easy for consumers, where delivery services have to respond to these changes. They need to maintain the quality of perishable products, but obviously want to remain profitable. For small deliveries, refrigerated trucks are an expensive option. Refrigerated transport packaging is a good alternative
Refrigerated packaging for chilled products
Packaging for chilled products are made of material with an insulating effect. As a result, the packaging keeps products at a constant temperature. By
cooling elements to the packaging, products remain at the desired temperature during transport. So you don't need a whole refrigerated lorry for that. In addition, refrigerated packaging allows you to deliver many different products together.
A refrigerated lorry offers one constant temperature, whereas perishable goods have varying requirements as to the best temperature at which to be stored. The use of refrigerated packaging makes it possible to refrigerate different products at their own required temperature, but still deliver them together. Kind of nice to be able to receive your groceries at home in one go and not in all kinds of separate deliveries, right?
Refrigerated packaging is environmentally friendly and cost-saving
Besides contributing to a fine process of delivery by using packaging for refrigerated transport, refrigerated
packaging environmentally friendly and cost-saving. More and more packaging is made of recycled materials, such as paper packaging. Paper is very suitable for packaging refrigerated products. Paper has an insulating effect of its own and can be folded into a layered shape. This layered shape ensures that the temperature inside the refrigerated packaging remains constant. Paper is also a cheap packaging material, which keeps costs down.
Costs also remain low because many packaging and
ice packs that one uses for refrigerated transport are reusable. Moreover, refrigerated packaging makes it possible to make smaller deliveries quickly and still remain profitable. Indeed, competition among delivery services has increased significantly in recent years. This makes it increasingly important to be able to deliver quickly. Refrigerated packaging makes it possible to meet this need without the high cost of a refrigerated truck.
