This box is great for shipping hard shell lobster by air. It can hold up to 30 lbs of lobster with gel ice and wet newspaper. The styrofoam helps keep the cold inside which is necessary when shipping by air because the planes are not refrigerated. If shipping by truck, we recommend one of our wax boxes which allows cold air to circulate inside the box.
In 1920, Bill Atwood's grandfather, a lobster fisherman from Nova Scotia, moved his family to Boston where Bill's father soon started a wholesale lobster business on Atlantic Avenue. In 1962, Bill Atwood ventured out on his own and launched the Atwood Lobster Company.
In May of 2011, Atwood Lobster Company was purchased by Mazzetta Company, LLC based in Highland Park, IL. Mazzetta Company specializes in frozen seafood products, one of it's largest items being frozen lobster. By purchasing this wonderful facility on the coast of Maine, Mazzetta Company has moved into a position of complete vertical integration.
