FAQ's about Perishable Goods Packaging
What types of perishable products can Hydropac packaging support?
Hydropac’s solutions are suitable for a wide range of perishable goods including fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meats, seafood, and frozen meals. Our packaging is also ideal for baked items, chilled beverages, and gourmet products requiring specific temperature conditions.
How long can Hydropac packaging maintain the correct temperature?
Depending on the product and configuration, our packaging systems can maintain chilled or frozen temperatures for up to 96 hours. Using phase change materials (PCMs), gel packs, and high-grade insulation, we ensure your goods stay protected even under extreme conditions or transit delays.
Are Hydropac’s packaging materials safe for food contact?
Yes. All materials used are food-grade, BPA-free, and compliant with UK, EU, and international food safety standards. They are rigorously tested to prevent cross-contamination, bacterial growth, and leaks — ensuring the safe transport of temperature-sensitive food items.
Can I customise packaging sizes or add branding?
Absolutely. Hydropac offers fully customisable packaging options — including bespoke box dimensions, branded gel packs, and insulated liners tailored to your product and logistics setup. Best of all, we don’t charge additional tooling costs for custom configurations.
What makes Hydropac packaging better than standard polystyrene boxes?
Unlike bulky, single-use polystyrene, our solutions are lightweight, curbside recyclable, and better at maintaining consistent internal temperatures. With options like ReflectiveAir™ and RecycleAir™, we reduce environmental impact while improving thermal performance and ease of handling.
