E-commerce packaging solutions for fresh and frozen products
The rapid growth of e-commerce food delivery has created new challenges in temperature-controlled shipping. At Inter Fresh, we specialize in scalable, reliable and sustainable e-commerce packaging solutions that help online food retailers deliver fresh, frozen, and temperature-sensitive products, without the need for refrigerated vehicles.
Meeting the challenges of e-commerce packaging
Online food retailers face specific challenges that traditional food distribution systems don’t encounter. Shipping perishable products through standard delivery networks requires exceptional temperature control without the benefit of refrigerated vehicles. Maintaining temperature integrity throughout entire delivery windows is essential, especially when exact delivery times can’t be guaranteed.
Today’s consumers also have high expectations for sustainability alongside premium unboxing experiences. Balancing these factors with cost-effectiveness presents a significant challenge that our e-commerce packaging solutions are specifically designed to address.

With these options, you can tailor your cooling strategy to meet the specific demands of your logistics model while supporting customer satisfaction and environmental goals.
Absorption solutions for moist products
Our absorption pads are specifically designed to support the safe and clean transport of moist products such as meat, fish, and seafood. They deliver multiple critical benefits:
- Leak Prevention: Absorption pads capture excess moisture, preventing leakage that could compromise packaging integrity or customer experience.
- Enhanced Hygiene: By controlling fluids inside the package, the pads help maintain a clean and hygienic environment throughout transport.
- Improved Product Presentation: Absorption technology keeps products visibly fresh, supporting a premium unboxing experience for the end customer.
- Extended Shelf Life: By managing moisture levels, the pads create optimal internal conditions that help preserve product freshness for longer.
These absorption solutions are a valuable addition to any e-commerce packaging system where moisture control and food safety are key priorities.
