Struggling to Keep Perishable Food Fresh in the Last Mile?

Every minute counts in cold chain logistics for food delivery. Using passive temperature-controlled packaging (TCP) ensures fresh and frozen food products remain safe, preventing spoilage, financial loss, and customer dissatisfaction.

How can you prevent this? The solution lies in passive temperature-controlled packaging—a reliable, cost-effective way to maintain the cold chain without active refrigeration.

What is Passive Temperature-Controlled Packaging?

Passive temperature-controlled packaging maintains a specific temperature range without external power. Instead, it uses insulated materials and refrigerants (such as gel packs and phase change materials) to ensure products remain fresh throughout transit.

Why is it essential? Because maintaining stable temperatures is critical for preventing spoilage, ensuring food safety, and delivering high-quality products to customers.

Types of Passive Packaging

1. Single-Use Packaging

• Designed for one-time use, ideal for shipments where retrieving the packaging is impractical.
• Provides reliable temperature control for up to 48 hours, ensuring perishable goods remain protected.

2. Reusable Packaging

• Designed for multiple uses, making it a cost-effective and sustainable choice.
• Ideal for the daily distribution of fresh, chilled, and frozen perishable foods.
• Ensures a continuous cold chain, reducing waste and operational costs.

Cold Packs vs. Dry Ice: Which One Keeps Your Products Safer?

Cold Packs (Gel/Cold Packs & Phase Change Materials – PCMs)

• Safe and easy to handle, with no special equipment required.
• Maintain consistent temperatures without hazardous risks.
• Reusable and eco-friendly, reducing waste and environmental impact.

Dry Ice: Challenges & Risks

• Risk of frostbite upon direct contact with skin.
• Shorter lifespan due to rapid sublimation, making temperature control unstable.
• Classified as a hazardous material, requiring special handling, ventilation, and transport restrictions.

📌 Verdict? While dry ice is effective for ultra-low temperatures, cold packs and PCMs provide a safer, more stable, and eco-friendly alternative for last-mile food delivery.
