Keeping Freshness Intact: How We Safeguard Perishable Food in Transit
Transporting perishable food requires more than just speed — it demands precision, thermal control, and robust packaging. Even the smallest deviation in temperature can lead to spoilage, product recalls, or financial losses. At Hydropac, we engineer every solution with these risks in mind. Our FreshPac range is designed specifically for perishable food transportation, combining decades of cold chain expertise with modern insulation technologies to deliver reliable protection, from farm to fork.
Key Features of Hydropac’s Perishable Food Transport Solutions
Our products are crafted for versatility, reliability, and sustainability — making them ideal for everything from fresh flowers and fruit to frozen meals and dairy.
- Advanced Insulated Packaging
Our EnviroCool™, RecycleAir™, and ReflectiveAir™ technologies deliver multi-layer insulation that reduces the risk of temperature excursions during extended transit. - Tailored for Chilled & Frozen Goods
Whether your products require ambient, chilled (0–8 °C), or frozen (-18 °C and below) conditions, our gel packs, ice bricks, and PCM coolants provide the required thermal protection — without dry ice or external refrigeration. - Protection Against External Conditions
From humidity control to barrier layers that resist radiant heat, our packaging shields against the variables of air freight, road transport, and even cross-border handling delays. - Custom Configurations Without Tooling Costs
Need bespoke sizing or branding for your insulated food boxes or coolant packs? We offer custom-made solutions that align with your brand and logistics system — at no additional tooling charge. - Lightweight, Recyclable Materials
Our use of food-grade, BPA-free plastics and curbside recyclable insulation helps reduce environmental impact while maintaining food safety and cold chain compliance.

FAQ's About Perishable Food Transportation
What types of perishable foods can Hydropac packaging support during transport?
Hydropac’s solutions are designed for a wide range of perishable food items, including fresh fruits and vegetables, meat and poultry, dairy products, frozen meals, and even floral arrangements. Our packaging systems ensure these products maintain optimal condition from origin to destination.
How long can your packaging maintain the correct temperature during transit?
Depending on the configuration and external conditions, our packaging solutions can maintain chilled or frozen temperatures for up to 96 hours. We use gel packs, ice bricks, and phase change materials (PCMs) to meet specific transit time requirements and protect against extreme temperatures.
Are Hydropac products compliant with food safety standards?
Yes. All materials used are food-grade, BPA-free, and non-toxic, ensuring full compliance with UK, EU, and international food safety standards. Our packaging is designed to prevent cross-contamination, bacterial growth, and temperature-related spoilage.
Can I customise packaging for different product types or branding purposes?
Absolutely. We offer custom-sized packaging and branded coolant solutions tailored to your supply chain, product type, and logistics needs. This includes bespoke sizes for specific cargo (like seafood or frozen fruit) as well as branded ice packs and outer containers — all without additional tooling costs.
What makes Hydropac’s perishable food transport solutions different from standard boxes with ice?
Unlike basic shipping boxes, Hydropac’s systems are purpose-built for cold chain logistics. With multi-layer insulation, leak-proof coolant packs, and tailored thermal control options, our solutions dramatically reduce spoilage risks, ensure shelf-life integrity, and help businesses meet strict transport and customs requirements for perishable goods.
