How to keep gummies from melting in mail
The eternal struggle of shipping gummies without them turning into a gooey mess! Here are some tips to help keep your gummies from melting in the mail:
- Insulate the package: Wrap the gummies in bubble wrap, packing peanuts, or crumpled paper to cushion them and prevent them from moving around. This will help reduce the risk of them coming into contact with heat sources.
- Use a thermal-insulated bag: Place the gummies in a thermal-insulated bag or a bag with a thermal lining. These bags are designed to keep contents at a consistent temperature and can help keep your gummies cool.
- Pack in a cooler: If you're shipping a large quantity of gummies, consider packing them in a cooler with ice packs. This will help keep the temperature inside the package cooler and prevent the gummies from melting.
- Choose the right shipping method: Select a shipping method that provides temperature control, such as USPS Priority Mail Express or UPS Next Day Air. These services typically have temperature-controlled vehicles and facilities to keep packages at a consistent temperature.
- Avoid shipping during peak heat: Try to avoid shipping your gummies during peak heat hours (usually between 11 am and 3 pm) when the temperature outside is at its highest.
- Use a desiccant: Place a desiccant packet (like silica gel) in the package to absorb any moisture and help keep the gummies dry.
- Pack in airtight containers: Store the gummies in airtight containers or zip-top bags to prevent moisture from entering the package.
- Label the package as "Fragile": Mark the package as "Fragile" to alert handlers to handle it with care and avoid excessive handling, which can cause the gummies to melt.
- Consider using a specialized shipping company: If you're shipping a large quantity of gummies or need to ensure they arrive in perfect condition, consider using a specialized shipping company that specializes in shipping perishable goods.
- Monitor the package: Keep an eye on the package's tracking information and contact the shipping carrier if you notice any issues or delays that could affect the gummies' condition.
By following these tips, you can help ensure that your gummies arrive at their destination in perfect condition, without melting or becoming damaged during transit.
