When it comes to keeping your workforce hydrated, freshness matters. Industrial hydration products such as powders, concentrates, and ready-to-drink beverages all have a defined shelf life. While each brand has its own specific guidelines, the most important thing is making sure your supply is properly stored and always up to date.
We take expiration dates seriously. Here is how we approach freshness and what you should know about storing the leading hydration brands.
Hydration products are designed to deliver electrolytes and minerals that keep workers performing at their best. If products are past their prime, flavor, consistency, and effectiveness can all be impacted. Staying ahead of expiration dates ensures every drink mix, bottle, or concentrate delivers exactly what your crew needs.
Powder mixes, concentrates, and ready-to-drink bottles all benefit from being stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. At Hydration Depot, we rotate inventory constantly so that what you receive is always fresh from the manufacturer and well within its recommended shelf life.
From Qwik Stiks to concentrates to Squeeze freezer pops, proper storage is key to maintaining taste and effectiveness. We keep all Sqwincher products in controlled conditions and follow strict rotation policies so you can be confident every order is fresh and ready to use on the jobsite.
Powders and concentrates are sensitive to heat and moisture. We ensure all inventory is stored correctly in dry, temperature-stable environments and regularly updated to guarantee maximum shelf life when it reaches your team.
Freezer pops and electrolyte sticks all need proper handling to maintain peak quality. We monitor every batch and follow first-in, first-out rotation to keep products current across every brand we carry.
