Caso de uso

Use this packout when the product only needs an upper limit below 10°C

This packout is intended for buyers who need a practical starting point for quotation, sample testing or route validation. The key question is whether your product size, route time and temperature rule are close to the tested 11L EPS configuration.

Bom ajuste

Products accepted at or below 10°C, route targets around 48 horas, payload that fits the 250 x 140 x 320 mm usable space, and lanes where a 32°C test profile is close to the expected shipping environment.

Check before using

Produtos sensíveis ao congelamento, variable warehouse dwell time, summer routes above the tested profile, or products that require a different sensor layout or test standard.

Not the right basis

Strict 2-8°C pharmaceutical lanes, remessas congeladas, dry ice lanes, ultra-cold requirements, or products that must stay above a lower temperature limit without additional validation.

Packout Parameters

Tested configuration: 21L EPS box with 11L effective payload space

Test Result

51.2 hours below 10°C under a 32°C ambient test

The shortest measured point was the top center position. For buyer planning, 51.2 hours is the conservative number from the original Tempk test, giving a 3.2-hour margin over a 48-hour requirement.

Guia de seleção

How buyers can decide whether to start from this packout

This configuration is most useful when the temperature requirement, route time and payload size are close to the tested case. For different risk profiles, Tempk can adjust coolant quantity, box type or validation method.

Start Here Below 10°C, around 48h

Start here if the product can accept near-0°C exposure and only needs to remain below 10°C during the route.

Validate Carefully Freeze-sensitive chilled cargo

Because the coolant phase-change point is 0°C, products with lower-limit concerns should be tested with the real payload and packing method.

Modify Packout Longer lanes or hotter ambient

Consider larger box volume, mais refrigerante, different insulation, lane-specific preconditioning or a new temperature profile test.

Use Another Solution 2-8°C, congelado ou ultra-frio

Those requirements need a dedicated packout and acceptance rule instead of borrowing this below-10°C test result.

Test Context

What the test photo helps confirm

The photo gives buyers a practical view of how the packout was prepared. Para compras, the important question is whether your product, payload mass and handling route match the original test closely enough.

What Tempk should check before sample confirmation

1 Ajuste de carga útil

Confirm product dimensions, payload weight and whether the product can fit inside the 250 x 140 x 320 mm effective space.

2 Temperature rule

Confirm whether the product only needs an upper limit below 10°C or also has a lower temperature limit.

3 Risco de rota

Compare route duration, exposição ambiental, warehouse dwell time and handoff points with the 32°C test condition.

4 Teste de amostra

Prepare a route-specific or customer-specific validation if the order requires a temperature report before bulk purchase.

Buyer Questions

Common questions for below-10°C EPS insulated box projects

How long did this packout stay below 10°C?

The shortest measured position stayed below 10°C for 51.2 hours in a 32°C constant-temperature environment.

What configuration was tested?

The tested setup used a 21L EPS insulated box, 11L effective payload space and 14 pieces of 380g 0°C biological ice packs.

Does this automatically qualify my route?

Não. It is a tested result from one configuration. Your route should be checked against payload size, sensibilidade do produto, transit time and ambient exposure.

Can this be used for 2-8°C pharmaceuticals?

Use a dedicated 2-8°C pharmaceutical packout instead. This solution supports a below-10°C upper-limit requirement, not a narrow regulated range.

Why is usable payload space only 11L?

The EPS box is listed as 21L, but the tested payload space is about 11L because the 14 ice packs occupy space around the payload.

Can Tempk adjust this for longer routes?

Sim. Tempk can compare insulation material, Tamanho da caixa, ice pack quantity and sensor layout, then prepare a modified sample test.

Need a below-10°C insulated box packout for a 48h route?

Share your payload size, exigência de temperatura, route duration and purchase plan. Tempk can check whether this 11L EPS packout is suitable or prepare an adjusted sample packout before bulk procurement.
