Prepare a sample request

Build your custom insulated bag specification

Select the operating conditions and enter the intended loaded size. The result gives Tempk a practical starting point for a sewn sample, material confirmation and loaded route review.

Required loaded space and weightLength x width x height

Include in the custom scope

Provide the largest tray or container, typical order mix, loaded weight, vehicle or rack space, delivery time and cleaning method. Final bag size includes wall build-up, dividers and closure clearance.

Suggested sample direction

Structured local delivery tote

    Design from the load outward

    Keep the temperature-control parts in defined positions

    A reusable bag changes shape as it is carried, opened and partly unloaded. Dividers, pockets, base support and closure should keep the remaining orders and coolant from collapsing into empty space.

    Separate orders and temperatures

    Removable dividers can hold trays upright, create customer order zones or keep chilled items away from products that should not touch coolant.

    Control access time

    A wide top opening helps loading; a smaller service opening can reduce disruption during repeated stops. The choice depends on the delivery sequence.

    Fix the coolant

    Pockets or straps prevent gel packs and ice bricks from sliding under trays, blocking the zipper or concentrating pressure on food packs.

    Carry the loaded weight

    Handle webbing, shoulder anchors, backpack straps and the base panel should be reviewed at maximum load, not only on an empty sample.

    Use the Coolant and PCM Reference to compare cooling media, then confirm pocket size and quantity with the loaded bag and intended opening pattern.

    Choose the carrying format

    Match access and support to the delivery route

    The best bag for a restaurant handoff is not automatically the best bag for a motorcycle, a grocery route or a large catering load.

    Hand carry

    Structured delivery tote

    Stable walls and a broad opening support meal trays, grocery orders and short car routes.

    Customize
    Tray footprint, divider grid, handles, shoulder strap, lid opening, logo panel and coolant pockets.
    Check
    Loaded shape, hand clearance, tipping, trunk fit and one-handed handoff.
    Bike route

    Insulated delivery backpack

    A vertical bag can fit the rider and vehicle while keeping the load supported through turns and braking.

    Customize
    Harness, chest strap, rigid base, internal shelves, rear opening, reflective trim and rack attachment.
    Check
    Rider fit, center of gravity, ventilation, zipper access, tray tilt and vehicle clearance.
    Route delivery

    Large or multi-zone bag

    Designed for catering, several orders or repeated stops where access and partial unloading become major pressures.

    Customize
    Zone dividers, service door, label windows, base wheels or supports, return ID and cleaning access.
    Check
    Maximum lift, remaining-load stability, stop sequence, closure cycles and return storage.

    Define the complete sewn product

    Control the bag specification beyond color and logo

    A repeatable OEM order identifies fabrics, insulation, liner, reinforcements, hardware and workmanship details as one approved construction.

    Test the operating pressures

    Approve the bag loaded, carried, opened and cleaned

    Thermal performance is only one acceptance point. A bag that leaks, tips, hurts the rider or cannot be cleaned will not work as a reusable delivery asset.

    1

    Loaded carry

    Lift, walk, ride or place the bag at maximum intended weight. Inspect balance, anchors, base sag and tray movement.

    2

    Opening cycle

    Repeat the planned stop sequence. Check zipper access, closure recovery, divider stability and remaining-load exposure.

    3

    Leak and cleaning

    Review seams, corners, absorbent parts, cleaning access, drying and odor retention with the intended cleaning method.

    4

    Loaded route trial

    Use real product, coolant, starting conditions, ambient exposure and opening events to review temperature and delivery condition.

    Prepare the private-label supply program

    Make every bag easy to identify, use and reorder

    Branding works best when it is tied to a controlled bag size, construction and operating instruction rather than treated as a print-only decision.

    Bag identity

    Define the model name, size code, color, logo method, label window and individual or batch identification.

    Operating information

    Add loading direction, coolant positions, maximum load, cleaning instruction and return contact where useful.

    Bulk supply

    Approve folded or nested packing, inner quantity, export carton, spare parts, inspection level and reorder specification.

    From load profile to repeat order

    Develop the bag around daily use

    Step 1

    Define use

    Share product containers, loaded size and weight, route, stops, vehicle and cleaning method.

    Step 2

    Configure

    Select bag style, material layers, opening, dividers, coolant pockets and carry system.

    Step 3

    Sew sample

    Check usable space, loaded balance, access, hardware, artwork and workmanship.

    Step 4

    Run route trial

    Test carrying, opening cycles, cleaning, product condition and temperature where required.

    Step 5

    Release supply

    Approve the specification, sample, packing method, inspection points and reorder code.

    Use the connected planning resources

    Compare bag formats, coolant and delivery conditions

    Before requesting a sample

    Custom insulated bag questions

    Should bag size be based on outside or usable inside dimensions?

    Start with the required usable internal chamber and the largest loaded containers. The final outside size adds insulation, panel structure, seams, pockets and closure clearance.

    How do we choose between a tote and a backpack?

    Review the vehicle, walking distance, loaded weight, tray orientation, stop sequence and rider fit. A tote suits many handoffs and car routes; a backpack needs stronger load control and ergonomic review.

    Can one bag carry hot and cold products?

    Separate zones or removable inserts can be considered, but the divider, opening sequence and cross-temperature effect must be tested with the real load. Separate bags may be more practical for demanding routes.

    Which inner liner is easiest to clean?

    The answer depends on food contact controls, cleaning chemicals, seam construction and whether the insert is removable. Review corners, folds, drying time and repairability in the sample.

    Can Tempk add our logo and brand colors?

    Yes. Logo methods, fabric color, zipper and webbing colors, labels, ID windows and retail or bulk packing can be specified after the bag construction is approved.

    How should coolant be placed in a delivery bag?

    Use defined pockets, straps or dividers so coolant cannot slide, crush products or block the closure. Quantity and placement should be confirmed with the actual load, route and opening pattern.
