Waxed Cardboard Boxes: The Sustainable Solution for Cold Chain Shipping and Fresh Produce
SC PACK CAJA is a direct manufacturer of high-performance Cajas de cartón encerado designed for cold chain logistics and fresh produce. Our waterproof, moisture-resistant cartons deliver the durability you expect—with the sustainability benefits corrugated packaging brings.
What Are Waxed Cardboard Boxes?

Waxed Cardboard Boxes are corrugated cartons treated with a food-safe wax coating to resist water, ice, and moisture. Unlike standard cardboard, they maintain structural strength in humid or refrigerated environments—making them ideal for ice-packed or condensation-heavy routes.
- Waterproof protection – Prevents softening and collapse when exposed to meltwater or condensation.
- Moisture resistance – Essential for vegetables, seafood, meat, and frozen foods.
- Strength & durability – Built to withstand stacking, handling, and temperature fluctuations.
- Sustainable plastic alternative – Reduces reliance on single-use plastic crates.
Why Choose Waxed Cardboard Boxes for Cold Chain Shipping?
Cold chain logistics demands packaging that survives temperature swings and direct contact with water or ice. Plastic crates meet the moisture challenge but raise costs and environmental concerns. Cajas de cartón encerado bridge the gap—offering performance and sustainability.
- Fresh produce shipping – Protects leafy greens, root vegetables, and fruit during long hauls.
- Seafood & meat – Supports wet-ice or gel-pack applications while preventing leakage.
- Frozen foods – Retains box integrity at sub-zero temperatures.
- Lower plastic usage – Aligns with retailer and importer sustainability goals.
