How to keep your temp sensitive air freight protected

Specifically designed to shield goods from external temperature fluctuations, these containers, like Envirotainers and AcuTemps, can accommodate a wide range of temperature-sensitive products, including pharmaceuticals, perishable foods, and biotechnological materials.

Commonly used for short to medium-haul shipments of temperature sensitive products, insulated packaging, often comprised of cardboard boxes with expanded polystyrene or aluminum sheets, helps maintain product integrity on direct flights and are often combined with coolants.

Coolants are essential components in regulating and maintaining a desired temperature range for sensitive cargo during transit. Several types of coolants are commonly used in temperature controlled air shipping. Dry ice is only used in limited quantities due to dangerous goods concerns.

Designed to protect your temperature sensitive products from all too-common cold supply chain challenges, thermal blankets address the threat of cold chain breaks during air transit. By providing a barrier, thermal blankets help reduce heat transfer between the inside of the package and the external environment.
