A pie is considered a perishable similar to any unfrosted or frosted cake that would normally require refrigeration. Materials for packing include: Plastic container or wrap Styrofoam box Corrugated box Packing foam or peanuts, reinforced moisture resistant tape, bubble wrap and dry ice.
1. First you’ll need to freeze your cake or pie solid.
2. Then wrap the frozen pie/cake in a sealed plastic container or wrap to avoid loss of moisture.
3. Place plastic container into a Styrofoam container that surrounds the box with at least 2 inches of insulation. Bubble wrap works great.
4. Place Styrofoam container into a corrugated box with at least 1/2 inch to an inch of empty space for packing material and dry ice packs. We recommend floating the interior box in packing peanuts or bubble wrap.
5. Ship overnight with a priority morning delivery for best results. Drop your shipment at PostNet late in the day, but no later than 4:30pm to assure that your package makes our nightly express pickup! If you don’t have your own FedEx, UPS or DHL account, bring it to the scale and pay for it here!
