TEMPERATURE CONTROL SHIPPING
AND PACKAGING SUPPLIES
Temperature Control Packaging Solutions
Temperature-controlled packaging is essential for preserving the integrity of products that require specific temperature conditions during shipping. It's particularly vital for items like pharmaceuticals, food, and biological samples. Here are some common supplies used for temperature control:
Insulated Containers and Liners
- Insulated Shipping Kits: These pre-assembled kits often include a cardboard box, a molded foam liner, and a lid. They provide excellent insulation for products requiring specific temperature ranges.
- Insulated Pouches: Smaller items can be protected using insulated pouches, which are typically made of bubble wrap with a reflective layer.
- Insulated Pallet Liners and Covers: For larger shipments, these materials can be used to create a temperature-controlled environment around entire pallets.
Refrigerant Packs and Ice Packs
- Gel Packs: These are commonly used for maintaining cold temperatures. They are available in various sizes and can be reused after freezing.
Additional Considerations
- Packaging Material: The choice of packaging material (e.g., cardboard, foam, plastic) can impact the insulation properties of the container.
- Shipping Method: The chosen shipping method (e.g., air, ground, sea) can affect the transit time and the potential for temperature fluctuations.
- Environmental Factors: External factors like ambient temperature, humidity, and exposure to sunlight can influence the effectiveness of temperature-controlled packaging.
It's essential to consider the product's temperature requirements, the shipping distance, and the desired transit time. The next step is to consult with a PackageIt representative to discover the right product for your specific shipping, packing or retail applications.
