What’s the best way to ship refrigerated products?

When shipping products that must remain refrigerated during transit, it’s imporant to use effective insulated packaging, such as box liners, pallet covers and insulated pouches, in conjunction with refrigerant gel packs. Take a look at the infographic below for everything you need to know.

We’ve also explained the process in more detail in our How to Ship Refrigerated Products page.

How long do the Refrigerant Gel Packs stay frozen for?

The answer is that GelTech Gel Packs will thaw in accordance with the amount of heat they encounter. The packs are designed to defrost slowly while they gradually absorb heat that surrounds them. Naturally, if there is more heat they will melt faster. So, the factors affecting melting will be:

  • Type of insulated packaging the packs are placed in.
  • The ambient temperatures the packs + insulation encounter.
  • The temperature of adjacent goods (your product).
