We choose this box when shipping lobsters overseas in an LD3 air container. We prefer to fill each box with 20 lbs of lobster, wet newspaper and two gel ice packs. One LD3 will fit 112 boxes, or 2,240 lbs. These are mostly used in the winter time when it is already cold outside and styro is not needed. Because there are only 20 lbs of lobster per box, gel ice cooling is maximized.
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.
