1. pack
Use strong corrugated cardboard boxes and punch holes on the sides for ventilation. Wrap the box with a plastic lining to prevent leaks. Cover each piece of fruit with paper or bubble film to prevent bruises. Use packaging materials (e. g., packaging foam or air pillows) to cushion the fruit and prevent it from moving. If shipped to a hot climate, consider using a box or foam cooler with gel ice packs.
2. Mailing method
Use 1-2 day expedited transport services such as FedEx Priority Overnight or UPS Next Day Air to minimize shipping time. Avoid shipping on the weekend because the package may stay longer. If transporting frozen fruit, use transportation methods with dry ice, such as FedEx, frozen transportation, or UPS frozen transportation.
3. prepare
Fruits with the highest maturity were picked before shipment. If possible, pre-cool the fruit before packaging. Hold the box firmly, but avoid overfilling, as this can crush the fruit.
4. label
The boxes were clearly marked “perishable” and “refrigerated” or “frozen” as needed. Write your name and the recipient’s address on the label. Consider covering valuable goods in case of damage or delay.
