What packaging specifications and carton configurations are standard for export fruit ice cream?

Export fruit ice cream centers on 65g to 75g unit weights packed across five distinct carton formats such as 75g by 12 sticks or 85g by 12 boxes, which dictate container packing density and retail freezer footprint.

When overseas importers and supermarket buyers evaluate fruit ice cream supply chains, unit weights and master carton dimensions determine both warehouse storage efficiency and 40ft reefer container stowage.

Key facts

• Unit weight range: Standard fruit ice cream sticks and shaped items range between 65g and 75g per piece, affecting direct shelf stacking density and per-box weight limits.
• Carton configuration 1: 75g by 12 sticks per master carton, engineered for standard stick-bar retail channels.
• Carton configuration 2: 65g by 12 sticks per master carton, commonly used for lighter single-portion fruit-shaped lines.
• Carton configuration 3: 85g by 12 boxes per master carton, applied to boxed fruit pieces or multi-pack units.
• Carton configuration 4: 72g by 24 bags per master carton, designed for flexible bag-packed fruit ranges.
• Carton configuration 5: 90g by 30 boxes per master carton, utilized for high-density retail presentation lines.

What changes these specifications

Custom primary packaging, multi-language regulatory labelling, and GS1 barcode printing directly influence master carton outer dimensions and pallet stacking layers. Importers managing mixed container loads must coordinate individual carton footprints to maximize 40ft high-cube reefer container capacity without exceeding structural weight limits.

Hicey provides standard export carton configurations matching these five formats, ensuring buyers can accurately calculate pallet tiers and warehouse slot allocation prior to order confirmation.
