Map the carton to the frozen product
Describe the appetizer, pack count and way it is presented for sale. Say whether the carton surrounds a sealed pouch, a tray or several inner packs, then measure the filled pack including folds or closures. If the product may contact the carton directly, make that clear rather than assuming the outer box is suitable for food contact.
State the storage and contact conditions
Include the planned frozen-storage and handling conditions, any moisture or grease exposure, and the point at which the box is packed. Ask the supplier to confirm the proposed material and print for those conditions. A product name alone does not establish freezer performance, barrier properties or food-contact suitability.
Information for a frozen-food packaging brief
- Product, portion count and filled dimensions
- Tray, sealed bag or direct-contact arrangement
- Storage and handling conditions to review
- Approved copy, barcode and artwork versions
- Quantity by design and delivery postcode
Keep product details consistent across versions
Send the final product wording and artwork for each flavour or pack size. Ask the food business to approve ingredients, allergen details and other label copy, then check the proof against the correct pack. Confirm construction, material, printing and order terms in the written specification.
