Freezer Packaging - GE CA10 Use And Care Manual

Freezer Packaging
Proper packaging is essential for
successful freezing. Because solidly
frozen foods lose moisture in the dry
0° to 5°F temperature of a freezer,
they must be properly protected by
top quality packaging materials that
are moisture/vapor-proof. Freezer
tape is used to seal wrappings and
for labeling.
