Shipping Chocolates in Hot Climates

Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

Yes we use standard cardboard boxes. Admittely they are quite big boxes because we are shipping out bulk products to customers etc, but to date no problems. We also have a customer we sent bulk choc buttons to in the north of WA and we actually use Aust Post Express Post satchels, because at least that way you know its going there as quick as it can. The cold pack brand is www.sud-chemie.com.au . They are from Penrith. Good luck.

Hi NatanWe regularly ship chocolate all over Australia, including WA and NT. Our chocolate isn't a finished chocolate though, we ship the chocolate melting buttons, but also chocolate transfer sheets. We find newspaper makes an excellent protection material and it also provides extra padding. On extreme days, we also add in a cold pack (the ones that aren't water based so they don't leak). To date we haven't had any spoilage. If the temperature if really extreme, (like 38-40 degrees) we try not to ship as its pretty impossible to protect chocolate if its going to be sitting in a hot truck. Hope this helps. Amanda
