Choose the thermal envelopeInsulated shippers, EPP or VIP cooler boxes and liners.

Match the cooling mediaGel packs, PCM, ice bricks or colder media where appropriate.

Choose by temperature range

Start with the condition your product must hold.

The same box is not suitable for every healthcare product. Temperature limits, freeze sensitivity, payload and expected exposure determine the useful starting point.

Frozen & Ultra-Cold Projects

Assess the exact target range, payload, cooling media, insulation and monitoring evidence before defining the packout.

Review selection and evidence

The packaging direction combines a thermal container, cooling media and a repeatable loading method.

A complete packout

The solution is a system, not a single box.

Each part has a job. The useful combination depends on what the product can tolerate and how the packed unit will be handled.

Insulated containerEPP, VIP, plastic cooler boxes or parcel shippers matched to the payload.

Cooling mediaConditioned gel packs, PCM, ice bricks or colder media for the target range.

Payload protectionInsulated liners, dividers and separation layers that support stable packing.

Choose by product risk

Different healthcare products fail in different ways.

Vaccines & medicines

Refrigerated protection with attention to direct coolant contact and freeze sensitivity.

Diagnostics & reagents

Packouts for small or mixed payloads that may need separation, stable orientation and clear loading steps.

Biologics

Higher-sensitivity products that may require tighter temperature limits, monitoring and defined test conditions.

Clinical samples

Small-payload protection with secondary containment, cushioning and clear receiving checks.

Reference test evidence

Use test results as a starting point, not a universal promise.

Published examples help compare possible directions. Final performance still depends on payload, container size, coolant conditioning, ambient profile, handling and opening conditions.

A commercial packout should be checked against the actual product, preparation method and expected conditions.

Refrigerated high-temperature reference

The current page reports more than 50 hours within 2–8°C under a 36°C ambient profile for the tested configuration.

How a project moves forward

Bring the conditions you know. We help organize the next step.

You do not need to select every component before contacting Tempk. Start with the product limits and packout conditions already available.

Define the product

Target range, freeze sensitivity, payload size, weight and starting condition.

Review the exposure

Expected duration, season, ambient range, handoffs and likely delays.

Build the packout

Container, cooling media, separation, conditioning and loading arrangement.

Check before use

Sample test, logger placement, acceptance criteria and repeatable instructions.

Before you enquire

Common questions

These answers explain what Tempk supplies and what information helps define a useful packaging direction.

What does Tempk provide for pharmaceutical cold chain projects?

Tempk supplies passive temperature-control packaging, including insulated shippers, EPP and VIP cooler boxes, liners, cooling media and packout support for defined product conditions.

What information should I send first?

Share the required temperature range, freeze sensitivity, payload dimensions and weight, expected duration, likely ambient exposure and any monitoring or test needs.

Can one tested packout be used for every product and route?

No. Test results apply to the configuration and conditions used. Changes in payload, coolant, insulation, preparation or exposure may change performance and should be reviewed.

Does Tempk provide cold chain transportation?

No. Tempk supplies packaging products and related packout support. Customers arrange freight, carrier and delivery services with their chosen logistics providers.
