2˚ to 8˚ Celsius | 35˚ to 46˚ Fahrenheit

Keeping products cold is critical for the healthcare industry. We provide reliable solutions for shipping pharmaceuticals using cold packs, chilled boxes and other specialized containers. This provides the temperatures and security you need in order to meet cold shipping regulations and keep products in top condition.

Cold shipping boxes, packaging & containers

Our top priority is keeping your products cold. Each of the following packaging options is specially designed and tested to provide reliable cold temperatures during transit. If you’re packing cold shipments yourself, you can also find details on how to keep your cold shipments safe.

15 to 25 C / Controlled Room Temperature

Though not cold or frozen, controlled room temperature shipments need to remain within a specific range to avoid damage to their contents. Most often this is the 15 to 25 Celsius range, roughly 59 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Typically coolants are not used for CRT shipments, rather special packaging is used to insulate the shipments from the heat or cold while in transit.

A key to controlled room temperature shipping is understanding the requirements of the specific shipment, how long can it last outside of it's temperature range both in terms of cold and heat. Using a faster shipping method and validated thermal shippers is often the best practice to maintain temperature integrity.

Deep Frozen / Cryogenic / Liquid Nitrogen

Used most often by life science research companies, sometimes involving cell and gene therapies, liquid nitrogen maintains a shipment's contents is a deep frozen state, below -150 degrees Celsius. Special containers called 'nitrogen dewars' are used for shipping, to handle the pressure and temperature of liquid nitrogen. These containers can hold their temperatures for many days, though often have very small openings limiting the amount of material that can be stored inside.

Frozen / Dry Ice

If a shipment needs to remain frozen, dry ice is most often your best option. Dry ice is inexpensive, readily available and can be replenished all of which make it an ideal coolant for frozen shipments. Generally, dry ice sublimates (turns into carbon dioxide gas) at a rate of 5-10 pounds per day, depending on the packaging it's kept in and outside temperature. One of the most critical parts of shipping with dry ice is the thermal shipper that it's sent in.

Validated thermal shippers have been rigorously tested to ensure they keep their contents within a specific temperature range if the right amount of coolant is added. These are used most often by healthcare, life science research, biotech and pharma companies. Other cold chain packaging options exist for frozen foods which need to remain frozen.

Shipments that are larger than a single box are best served with active coolant methods, larger powered units that act like traveling freezers to keep shipments frozen.
