New Sustainable and Temperature-Steady Packaging Solutions

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING OPTIONS

As businesses all over the world try to reduce their carbon footprints, there’s now a growing need for more sustainable packaging options. However, the desire for eco-friendly packaging isn’t the only thing that’s evolving.


From pharmaceuticals to food, more and more businesses are in need of packaging solutions that protect sensitive items from temperature shifts. While temperature-sensitive packaging exists, there are little to no options for those looking to balance item protection with their sustainability initiatives.


Luckily, PackageIt now has a custom packaging bag solution if you’re in such a dilemma — the Sealed Air TempGuard Insulated Bag.


Let’s take a look at the challenges surrounding sustainable and temperature-sensitive packaging and how the TempGuard solves all these problems.


The Dilemma: Sustainable Packaging Solutions or Temperature-Sensitive Packaging?

Maintaining product integrity during shipping and transportation has long been a critical challenge for temperature-sensitive goods.


Traditional packaging solutions aren’t always effective, leading to product spoilage, customer dissatisfaction, and heightened environmental concerns.


Some of the problems faced by businesses looking for temperature-sensitive and sustainable packaging include:


Excessive Waste

Thermal packaging has been the go-to solution for sensitive items. Unfortunately, many of these materials generate a lot of waste after they’re discarded. As a result, one of the primary issues with commercial thermal packaging is waste.


For the most part, thermal packaging includes single-use materials like foam coolers and foil bubble. While effective at preserving their contents, these packaging options are among the most prevalent pollutants due to their plastic compositions.


Ineffective Temperature Control

On the other end of the spectrum, we have sustainable packaging solutions. Made with recycled materials, many of these packaging products are biodegradable and include everything from corrugated bubble wrap to recycled paper.


While these options have changed the game for sustainable packaging, their sustainability comes at the expense of temperature control.


While this doesn’t necessarily cause problems for many industries, it’s a deal breaker for businesses that ship sensitive and perishable items like food and pharmaceuticals.


Customer Dissatisfaction and Damaged Products

Ineffective temperature control can lead to significant product losses, cutting into profitability. However, there’s a bigger problem faced by businesses — the loss of customer trust.


Goods that arrive damaged or spoiled due to temperature fluctuations during transit often result in costly returns. Not only does this result in more inefficiencies. With more returns and requests for replacements comes more dissatisfaction with a business. Over time, this situation deteriorates to a point where customer trust is lost.


Rethinking Packaging

When you desire product protection and sustainability, you often have to compromise one to get more of the other. This dilemma plagues many businesses today.


However, does it always have to be this way? We say no.


At PackageIt, we believe that it’s possible to protect your products or shipments and remain true to your sustainability initiatives. All you need is the right packaging solution that balances temperature sensitivity and eco-friendliness.

Enter the Sealed Air TempGuard Insulation Bag.
