Packaging Solutions for Seafood
Fish boxes designed specifically for fresh or frozen seafood; A 100% recyclable, eco-friendly replacement for styrofoam and waxed cardboard packaging.
CoolSeal USA is the only manufacturer and supplier that offers a cost effective, completely recyclable alternative to the seafood shipping standards that have been used in the fishing industry for years.
We have proven solutions for shipping seafood that replace Styrofoam and waxed corrugated boxes. Our fish boxes were developed and implemented throughout Europe over 20 years ago and are produced in the United States for the North American market by CoolSeal USA.
Companies that choose to use our boxes should realize efficiencies immediately in a number of ways:
- Space Savings: Our boxes are delivered flat and take up about 85% less space than unpacked foam boxes.
- More Product Per Pallet: The outer dimension of our box is smaller than foam and designed to hold the same amount of product allowing for space savings and shipping efficiencies of approximately 20 – 30%.
- Temperature: According to The Sea Fish Industry Authority, “Where fish is distributed in a controlled distribution chain, it would be beneficial to use boxes with less insulation, to allow chill temperatures to influence product temperatures.” Therefore, products in a CoolSeal box will achieve temperature faster that foam, resulting in improved product quality and shelf life.
- Durability: CoolSeal boxes will bend, not break … our customers will have the benefit of no bead contamination from foam.
- Hygienic: Our boxes are safe for direct food contact and have proprietary SEALED EDGE TECHNOLOGY that reduces the potential for bacterial contamination.
- 100% Recyclable: CoolSeal boxes are PP5 recyclable, thus reducing the disposal cost for customers.
CoolSeal packaging solutions are very well suited to any wet environment:
