Add Ice Packs

Ice packs and overnight shipping make sure that your product arrives fresh to customers. It helps to tape the ice packs to the top of your box. The box with the ice packs is than put inside of a thermal bag and wrapped in bubble wrap. After doing all these things, you can put everything in a mailing box.
