Key Features
The case for BQF gigas squid tubes:
Compact blocks.
Tubes are laid out neatly and frozen into uniform blocks - no wasted space, and more product per unit of volume than IQF.
More per container.
Uniform blocks stack without gaps. A 40-foot reefer holds 26–28 tons, and the ocean freight per kilogram comes down with it.
Lower unit cost.
Freezing and packaging cost less than IQF, and freight efficiency adds to it. For full-container buying, the total landed cost is hard to beat.
Built for continuous lines.
Whole blocks feed straight into automated processing - no picking individual pieces by hand, which speeds up further processing.
Quality stays consistent.
Ultra-low-temperature rapid freezing (-35°C to -40°C) keeps the product uniform, and every batch is checked with metal detection, visual inspection and weight verification.
Glazing you can choose.
10%–50%, set according to your target market and processing needs - a useful lever for cost control.
Application Scenarios
BQF Peruvian squid tubes earn their place where the volumes are big:
Large-scale deep-processing plants:
Continuous lines, blocks thawed and cut in batches into squid rings, scored pieces, diced squid and strips.
01
Full-container buyers:
Freight spread over the full load brings the per-kilo cost down.
02
Ready-to-eat and meal-prep factories:
Bulk raw material for frozen meals and seafood meal kits.
03
Seafood wholesale markets:
Large wholesalers moving high volume to downstream foodservice and retail.
04
Export processing and trade:
Traders importing for secondary processing and distribution in the destination market.

FAQ
What buyers ask before booking a container of BQF gigas squid tubes:
Q1: Is BQF cheaper than IQF?
Yes - usually 10–15% cheaper landed. Three reasons: BQF freezing uses less energy and runs more efficiently; packaging is simpler because there's no need to keep pieces separate; and the dense blocks load more per container, so the freight share per kilogram falls. For full-container bulk buying, that adds up.
Q2: Is there a quality difference between BQF and IQF?
Not really. Both use the same ultra-low-temperature rapid freezing at -35°C to -40°C. The real difference is how you use them: BQF means thawing the whole block and working in large batches; IQF means taking pieces as needed. Pick the one that matches your line.
Q3: What's the container loading capacity for BQF?
A 40-foot reefer loads 26–28 metric tons of BQF product, thanks to the compact, gap-free blocks - roughly 15–20% more than IQF per container, which is what lowers the freight per kilogram.
Q4: What's the minimum order quantity?
One 40-foot container, around 22–28 metric tons. For special requirements, contact our sales team.
