Shipping food can be tricky, especially if you’re sending something perishable, like refrigerated foods or baked goods. It’s important to ship these foods out as quickly and efficiently as possible, or else they can start collecting bacteria.[1]
While it may cost a bit of extra money, you only need a few simple packaging supplies to mail your food as quickly as possible.Tip: Write “Keep Refrigerated” or “Perishable” on the mailing label so post office workers and your recipient know what’s inside the package.[9]
Tip: If there’s a lot of extra space in the box, place packing peanuts or bubble wrap around the food containers to provide padding.
