Abstract: A packing container for transport of products giving off moisture, e.g. fresh iced fish products and fresh meat products, comprising a box that opens upwards and is made from a liquid tight material with a lid and a bottom having drainage openings. The bottom is raised in relation to the lower edges of the side walls of the box for forming a chamber that is open downwards where a moisture absorbent is placed. The chamber may be closed with a lid being identical with said upper lid. The lids are provided with annular grooves on both side faces for engagement with projections on the upper and lower edges of the box side walls. Furthermore, the annular grooves in the lower lids are intended for engagement with packing containers that are open upwards when the packing containers are piled on top of each other to prevent lateral sliding.

Abstract: A method for transport of one-unit packed products giving off moisture and requiring cooling without any direct contact with a cooling medium, e.g. crushed ice, with use of an outer packing means comprising a tray/box which opens upwards and has a cover and a double bottom comprising an upper bottom member with drainage apertures, and a lower watertight bottom member, and a sorbent for moisture placed in a space between bottom members. The one-unit products are placed in liquid tight trays/boxes opening upwards which are closed by covers provided with drainage apertures. One or a plurality of trays are placed with cover facing down in the case, whereupon cooling medium is provided on and, if desired, around the bottoms, and side walls of trays, and the case is closed by the aid of the cover. Moisture given off from the one-unit packed product, and any water from the melting cooling agent will flow down through drainage apertures of upper bottom member and will be absorbed by absorbent.
