Packaging Standards for International Food Delivery
Ever wondered if your homemade pickles or frozen meals can travel abroad safely?
You send food to loved ones. You want to ship snacks or sweets to the US, UK, Canada, or Australia. But you're not sure if they’ll stay fresh, leak-free, and safe. We get that. Sending food out of India needs more than just a strong box. It needs strict packaging, exact labels, and a smart choice of material. That’s where we come in.
We make international food delivery simple, safe, and fully compliant. You want your parcel to survive long flights, climate shifts, and customs checks without damage or spoil. We make that happen with tested steps. Be it sweets, pickles, ghee, or frozen items, we know how to pack it right.
From food-grade films to leak-proof packs, we follow every rule laid down by food shipping laws for countries like the US, UK, and UAE. We also work with type-based care for dry, liquid, or semi-solid food items.

How We Handle Food Packing Before Dispatch
We begin with sorting the food by type, dry, wet, frozen, or liquid. Then we pick the right inner wrap. Dry foods go in vacuum pouches. Wet foods are double-sealed in leak-proof containers. Frozen foods are placed in foil trays and sealed tightly. Each layer is tested to hold its shape even in pressure drops.
For international food courier orders, we only use approved food-contact material. We then cushion the pack with thermal bubble wraps or dry ice, as needed. Labels are printed, not hand-written. They carry full details like weight, date, and batch code. We also fix temperature strips on boxes for heat-sensitive items.
Once sealed, we box the parcel in strong fibre cartons that handle bumps and drops. We follow all this before your food even leaves the store. We don’t guess, we use tools. This is how we meet rules and still move fast.
Food Types and Our Packing Materials
Paratype | Primary Wrap Used | Outer Box Type | Extra Features |
Dry snacks | Vacuum pouch | Corrugated fibre box | Desiccant pack |
Cooked foods | Foil container + seal | Double-wall hard box | Thermal insulation |
Pickles & pastes | PET or glass jar | Kraft board box | Leak-proof liner + tape-sealed lids |

We also maintain air flow in frozen packs and prevent scent leak in spice boxes. These checks help us stay compliant for international food delivery to the US, UK, and more.
Steps We Follow Before Sealing Your Box
- Check item condition, no damaged or near-expiry foods allowed
- Use material that passes food-grade tests (BIS/FSSAI certified)
- Add stickers like “Perishable” or “Keep Frozen” if needed
- Record weight, type, and pack date for customs
- Match every food item with its HS code and invoice copy
What Makes Beverages Delivery Different?
Beverages can spill or burst if packed incorrectly. We never send them like normal parcels. For beverages delivery, we seal bottles with tamper rings and place them inside triple sleeves. Each bottle goes in a thick PET sleeve with foam pads around it. We fix them inside strong cartons so they stay upright.
Carbonated drinks are pressure-tested before sealing. The box gets moisture pads too. Labels mention ml count, lot number, and content type. This way, no leaks, no shocks. We send homemade juices or health drinks abroad only when they pass shelf life and seal checks.
How We Keep Items Cool During Long Routes
- Use dry ice or frozen gel for up to 72 hours
- Thermal liners line each side of box
- Sensor strips show if heat touched the pack
- Frozen foods are sent only in EPS-insulated hard boxes
- Boxes checked for cold hold before approval

We treat international food delivery like science. Every item is packed by paratype. Every label is printed to code. Every seal is checked before it leaves. We work with care so your food reaches the US, UK, or anywhere fresh, dry, and fit to eat.
