Cold Chain Packaging Solutions for Temperature-Sensitive Products
Whether you ship fresh food, frozen desserts, medicines, vaccines, biologics, skincare, pallet goods, blood products, or clinical samples, Tempk helps you build packaging around the product’s real transit risks: temperature drift, moisture, leakage, pressure, route delay, and arrival condition.

How We Match Packaging
Choose packaging around what can fail in transit
The right cold chain package protects more than temperature. It should preserve product condition through loading, storage, parcel sorting, warehouse dwell, delivery, and receiving inspection.
Temperature range
Choose chilled, frozen, cool, ultra-cold, or controlled-room handling according to the product and receiving criteria.
Packout layout
Plan insulation, PCM, gel packs, dry ice, buffers, absorbent layers, dividers, and payload support together.
Arrival checks
Check the temperature record, packaging condition, remaining coolant, label readability, and product quality before scaling shipment volume.
Product Categories
Choose the product you need to protect
Start with the product family closest to your shipment, then open the category plan or one of the product examples. If your exact product is not listed, choose the nearest match and send us the route details.

Route Testing
Confirm performance before shipment volume grows
Use route testing to confirm that the selected shipper, coolant mass, buffer layers, logger position, and payload layout can protect the product through the expected route and season.
1
Send the route details
Tell us the product type, target temperature, payload count, route duration, season, and delivery method.
2
Match packaging to risk
We match insulation, coolant, buffer layers, inserts, absorbent materials, and logger placement to the product’s transit risk.
3
Review arrival condition
Review the temperature trace, product condition, remaining coolant, carton dryness, label readability, and receiving notes.
