How to Pack Frozen Seafood for Safe Delivery in Karachi

How to Pack Frozen Seafood for Safe Delivery in Karachi

Karachi’s heat is brutal on frozen seafood. One weak link in packing and premium prawns arrive half-thawed. Here’s the exact method we use for our own frozen seafood deliveries.

Step 1 — Start Frozen, Stay Frozen (−18°C)

Seafood must go into the box at −18°C or below. Our IQF prawns, pomfret, and fish fillets leave our cold storage frozen solid — never “chilled and hoping.”

Step 2 — Choose Your Coolant: Dry Ice or Gel Packs?

  • Dry ice (−78.5°C): best for long routes, bulk boxes, and peak summer. 16mm pellets in a thermocol box hold temperature for 24–48 hours. Order dry ice →
  • Ice gel packs: reusable and fine for short cross-city trips under a few hours. See gel packs →

Step 3 — The Right Box

A high-density thermocol box is non-negotiable — cardboard alone won’t survive a Karachi afternoon. Thermocol boxes →

Step 4 — Pack It Tight

Fill empty space with crumpled paper or extra gel packs. Air gaps are the enemy — they accelerate thawing.

Step 5 — Time It Right

Dispatch so the seafood arrives before the coolant runs out. We offer same-day delivery across Karachi, timed to your kitchen’s schedule.
