Boxes that are made from cardboard with litho paper coating are the most likely boxes that will be damaged.  Boxes are stored in freezers at temperatures from -20°C, -80°C and -196°C.  Metal racks made from aluminum and stainless steel are also used to store the boxes.  When racks are removed from storage freezers, moisture in the atmosphere will attach to the rack as ice crystals.  The ice crystals can fall from the rack and land on the boxes when the racks and boxes are moved in and out of the freezer.  Room temperature of 70°F (21°C) can quickly warm the ice crystal and thaw it into water.  Water will soak into the cardboard material, soften it and weaken the cardboard.

CBSfreezerracks.com offers several varieties of boxes that can reduce or even eliminate the problem of water damage to your freezer boxes.  Our new Moisture Resistant Polyguard cardboard box will reduce damage by resisting water absorption into the cardboard.  Our complete line of aluminum, stainless steel and plastic boxes will virtually eliminate water damage.
