A pie is considered a perishable similar to any unfrosted or frosted cake that would normally require refrigeration.

Materials

• Plastic container or wrap
• Styrofoam box
• Corrugated box
• Packing foam or peanuts
• Reinforced moisture resistant tape

Procedure

1. Freeze pie rock solid.
2. Wrap frozen pie 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.
4. Place Styrofoam container into a corrugated box with at least 1/2 inch to an inch of empty space for packing material.
5. Place packing foam or peanuts in the empty space.
6. Close the box with reinforced moisture resistant tape.
7. Seal BOTH ends and corners of the box. Corners are a very susceptible area for tearing during shipping.
8. Place the mailing label on the edge that you want to remain up during the duration of your trip.

Pies may be sent by DHL, FEDEX, or UPS
