What's A Packout?

As you get into shipping perishables (or anything, really), you'll start to hear certain terms.  "Packout" is one of 'em, and it's super simple:  It refers to how you pack your box.  

People get post-graduate degrees in this, but if all you're doing is shipping desserts and food that has to stay under 70°F or so, your packout can be pretty simple.

From the bottom to the top:

  • Cardboard box, 200# test is usually fine. 
  • Insulated liner, 1-1.5" thick
  • Product (Paleo Treats and snacks for us)
  • Gel pack (sometimes we put this next to the Treats)
  • Bubble wrap
  • Dry Ice
  • Insulated top
  • Cardboard box

Super.  Easy.  

You got this!
