Some general rules include:
- First in, first out – the product you loaded first should be the product you unload first. This helps ensure goods don’t go out of date. To facilitate this, it’s important to be able to access products throughout your container at all times.
- Keep your products clean – regardless of packaging, ensure your goods are clean and free of contamination when loading.
- Don’t overstack – overstacking makes it difficult to access your goods and can also interfere with airflow. Cold storage containers need consistent, even airflow to maintain uniform temperatures across all your products.
