Temperature-controlled packaging keeps food or medication fresh during delivery. It can hold 2, 5, or 10 liters and maintain temperatures between 36° and 48° Fahrenheit for up to 96 hours. It is lighter and cheaper than dry ice and better for the environment. It can be easily recycled or reused.
Temperature-controlled packaging is used when the contents of a delivery, usually food or medication, need to be kept at a certain temperature to prevent spoilage. This type of packaging usually ensures that the shipped item or items remain fresh and refrigerated for up to 96 hours from the time of shipment until delivery. Refrigerated meats, medicines, vaccines and other materials can be safely shipped from store to consumer or from drug supplier to pharmacist or doctor without any risk of contamination or spoilage.
Temperature controlled packaging can generally hold two, five or ten liters in boxes of various sizes. Contents can be stored at temperatures between 36° and 48° Fahrenheit (approximately 2° to 9° Celsius) for up to 96 hours in standard packaging. If colder temperatures are needed, a “plus” version of temperature-controlled packaging is available that can keep items at -4° to 22° Fahrenheit (about -20° to 5½° Celsius).
Typically, refrigerated contents should be shipped with dry ice. In temperature-controlled packaging, potentially dangerous dry ice is not needed. Instead, this type of packaging uses many layers of high-quality insulation and regular ice and water to keep the inside contents in cold temperatures for up to four days.
There are a number of reasons why temperature controlled packaging is a better choice than traditional dry ice packaging. First, dry ice is considered dangerous. Therefore, any packaging that uses this chemical must be transported through a shipping system capable of carrying hazardous materials. Dry ice can be harmful to the environment, animals and humans, so extreme care must be taken when using dry ice in containers.
Temperature-controlled packaging is also lighter than dry ice, cheaper to ship than traditional methods, and better for the recipient of the package. This is especially true if the recipient is not trained in handling dry ice.
Packaging containers and boxes are environmentally friendly and can be recycled easily. The boxes are usually made of waterproof cardboard. Then, a layer of plastic insulation and other waterproofing material is layered into the box. The contents are placed inside the core in airtight containers and packed in a mixture of ice and water. The outer layers of insulation prevent ice from melting.
Temperature-controlled packaging makes sense in today’s fast-paced and expensive world. Safer packaging helps minimize environmental damage. The water can be easily poured out once you receive the item. Items arrive fresh and undamaged. Finally, the packaging can easily be recycled or reused over and over again.
