Cold Storage Packaging Built for Freezer Environments
Rapamar manufactures cold storage packaging in the USA. We build freezer safe corrugated boxes with a food safe moisture barrier coating at our Tennessee factory and ship them direct to cold storage facilities, refrigerated carriers, and frozen food operations.
Heavy walled board made to stack, hold its shape, and survive repeated handling in the cold chain. Any size, any shape, built to your spec.
One Box, Six Stages
A container built only for the freezer still has to survive the dock, the truck, and the retail case. We build for the whole chain, not one stage of it.
Cold Storage Packaging, Manufactured in the USA
Cold storage packaging is corrugated packaging built to hold its strength in freezer and refrigerated environments, where ordinary boxes take on moisture, soften, and lose the stacking strength that keeps a pallet square.
Rapamar manufactures freezer safe corrugated containers at our Tennessee facility, coats them with a food safe moisture barrier, and ships them direct to cold storage warehouses, refrigerated carriers, frozen food producers, and distributors in all 50 states and the Caribbean.
Send your dimensions, your load, and your stack height, and we will quote pricing, lead time, and a physical sample you can test in your own freezer before production.
Why Ordinary Boxes Fail in the Freezer
Corrugated board is made of paper fiber, and paper fiber takes on moisture. In a freezer or a refrigerated dock, that moisture comes from condensation, from humid air moving across cold product, and from the product itself. As the board absorbs it, the flutes soften, the walls give, and a stack that was square on Monday is leaning by Friday.
That is a packaging problem, not a warehouse problem. The fix is board that resists moisture in the first place.
- Food safe moisture barrier coating on every container we make
- Heavy walled corrugated built to stack without bulging
- Single or double wall, matched to your load and stack height
- A sample first, so you can test it in your own cold storage
Moisture and condensation
Cold product meeting warmer air puts water on and into the board. Our moisture barrier coating keeps that water on the surface instead of in the fiber.
Compression and stacking
Pallet loads sitting in racking for weeks put constant weight on the bottom layer. Heavy walled board holds its shape instead of bulging at the corners.
Handling and transfers
Every dock transfer, forklift move, and reload is another chance for a soft box to tear. Containers built for repeated handling stay sellable further down the chain.
Freezer Safe Box Builds for Every Cold Storage Job
Tell us the load weight, the stack height, and how long product sits in storage, and we will recommend the build. Any size can be drawn to your own width, length, and height if a standard format does not fit your racking or pallet pattern.
Single wall coated
One fluted layer between two liners, with a food safe moisture barrier coating.
Double wall coated
Two fluted layers for extra crush resistance under a full pallet.
Tub and lid
Straight walled containers with separate lids, packed 50 per case. See our stock sizes.
2.5 and 3 gallon bulk
High volume formats with lids, case packed for pallet loads.
RAPASTACK tubs
10 and 12 liter stackable tubs, sold by the pallet. See the 12 liter tub.
Custom die cut
A shape cut to your product or pallet pattern. See custom cardboard boxes.
Cold Chain Packaging for Every Operation
From a single freezer room behind a shop to a racked warehouse moving pallets every day, the packaging problem is the same.
Cold storage warehouses
Racked pallet storage where product sits for weeks. Containers that hold a square stack for the whole cycle.
Refrigerated carriers and 3PLs
Reefer freight, cross dock, and last mile. Containers built to survive vibration and handling.
Frozen food producers
Formats coming off the line into blast freezing. See frozen dessert packaging.
Ice cream and gelato
Shop freezers and batch storage. See ice cream shop and gelato shop packaging.
Distributors and wholesalers
Pallet quantities direct from our plant. See wholesale distributor packaging.
