Fresh flowers are the heart of any floral business. Their beauty, fragrance, and vibrancy define your brand—and their shelf life directly impacts your profitability. For florists, wholesalers, and event floral designers, proper cold storage is not optional; it’s essential.
A shipping container cold storage unit dedicated exclusively for flower storage offers a flexible, cost-effective, and reliable solution to preserve freshness while supporting business growth.
At MODS, we design and install fully customized refrigerated shipping containers built specifically for floral storage—engineered to maintain the ideal environment for your inventory.
Why Flower Storage Requires Precision
Flowers are highly sensitive to temperature changes. Once cut, they begin to age immediately. Without proper cold storage, even a few hours of exposure to warm air can shorten their lifespan.
Most flowers require storage temperatures between 34°F and 38°F to slow respiration and maintain structure. Stable humidity levels are also crucial to prevent dehydration while avoiding excess moisture that could cause mold.
Without a dedicated cold storage solution, florists often face:
Premature wilting
Petal discoloration
Weak stems
Increased waste
Reduced profit margins
A shipping container cold storage unit provides a controlled environment that protects your inventory from these risks.
Traditional walk-in coolers can be expensive, time-consuming to build, and difficult to expand. Shipping container cold storage offers a smarter alternative.
1. Dedicated Storage Space
These units are designed exclusively for storage—no display areas, no workspace integration—just optimized refrigeration for maximum flower preservation.
2. Fast Installation
Unlike permanent construction projects that can take months, container cold storage units can be fabricated and delivered quickly.
3. Outdoor Placement
Shipping container cold rooms can be placed behind your shop, next to your warehouse, or in a parking area—freeing up valuable indoor space.
4. Expandable Capacity
Need more storage during Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or wedding season? Add another unit without major renovations.
5. Relocatable Investment
If your flower shop relocates or expands, your cold storage moves with you.
