Temperature control packaging for sensitive cargo without relying on external power.
Why Opt for Passive Insulated Packaging?
Passive insulated packaging is a specialized solution employed in logistics and supply chain management to maintain a controlled temperature environment for temperature-sensitive goods during transport or storage.
Use of Passive Insulated Packaging
This form of packaging is designed to protect products such as pharmaceuticals, vaccines, perishable foods, and biological samples from temperature extremes, ensuring they remain within their specified temperature range for an extended period without the need for active refrigeration or heating.
Passive insulated packaging relies on high-quality insulating materials, often with low thermal conductivity. Common materials include expanded polystyrene (EPS), polyurethane foam, and vacuum insulation panels. The packaging is typically enclosed in a sturdy outer shell, often made of cardboard or plastic, to protect the insulating material and provide structural support.
