Abstract (en)
A shipping method for shipping cut flowers (101,201). The shipping method comprises packaging (a) the flowers in a box (102,202) for shipping, vacuum cooling (b) the box and flowers to a temperature in the range 1°C - 10°C, applying (c) a flexible sheet material (105,205) onto the box (102,202) for shipping. The flexible sheet material (102,202) comprises a first reflective surface (216) facing away from the box (102,202) when applied, for reflecting infrared radiation (IR), wherein a second surface (217,313), being less reflective than the first surface (216,316) is facing the inside of the box, for absorbing infrared radiation (IR).
