Frequently asked questions about cold storage warehousing

  • Cold storage warehousing stores perishable products in temperature-controlled environments to help maintain freshness, extend shelf life and protect product quality.

  • Temperature-controlled warehousing maintains consistent cold environments that help slow spoilage, protect food safety and preserve the texture, flavor and quality of perishable products.

  • Cold storage warehouses typically operate between -20°F and 40°F, depending on the product. Frozen storage is usually 0°F or below, while refrigerated storage ranges from 32°F to 40°F.

  • Industries including food and beverage, meat and poultry, seafood, frozen foods, produce, dairy, prepared foods and even pharmaceutical rely on cold storage warehousing to maintain product quality and safety.

  • Blast freezing is a process that rapidly lowers a product’s core temperature to preserve texture, color and quality. It is commonly used before long-term frozen storage, export distribution or high-volume production runs.

  • Lineage maintains strict food safety protocols, including temperature monitoring, sanitation standards and regulatory compliance to help protect product integrity throughout storage and distribution.

  • Yes. Cold storage can be integrated with Lineage's transportation, drayage, freight forwarding and customs services to streamline product movement across the cold chain.

  • You can search for facilities to identify locations that match your product, temperature and logistics requirements.

  • Refrigerated storage keeps products between 32°F and 40°F for fresh goods, while frozen storage maintains 0°F or lower for long-term preservation of frozen products.

  • Lineage uses its global network of cold storage warehouses to scale capacity during harvest seasons, production surges and changing demand.
