We at Tan90 Thermal Solutions, research, develop and manufacture a wide range of specific cooling solutions called Phase Change Materials (PCM) with a wide range of temperatures, between +85 to -24 degrees centigrade.
Moreover, we manufacture insulated boxes and bags for the mid mile and last mile delivery of perishables with the help of pcms. By using our boxes and PCM panels, you can negate the use of reefer trucks for the last mile delivery and distribution, thereby saving 30% of your operational cost.
When it comes to packing and shipping items in insulated boxes, especially if you're dealing with temperature-sensitive items like food, pharmaceuticals, or other perishable goods, there are a few important steps to follow to ensure the integrity of the contents.
Here's a general guide:
Choose the Right Insulated Box : Select a box that is appropriately sized for your items and offers sufficient insulation. There are different types of insulated packaging available, including foam coolers, insulated liners, and insulated boxes made of materials like expanded polystyrene (EPS) or polyurethane foam. Choose the one that best suits your needs.
Prepare Your Items : Ensure that your items are properly packaged and sealed before placing them in the insulated box. If necessary, use additional packaging materials such as bubble wrap or packing peanuts to cushion fragile items and prevent movement during transit.
Include Cold Packs or Dry Ice : If your items need to be kept cold during transit, include cold packs or dry ice in the insulated box. Make sure to follow proper safety guidelines when handling dry ice, including wearing gloves and ensuring adequate ventilation.
Seal the Box : Once your items are securely placed inside the insulated box, seal it tightly with packing tape to prevent any air from entering or escaping.
Label Appropriately : Clearly label the box with any special handling instructions, such as "Perishable" or "Keep Refrigerated," to ensure that the carrier handles it properly during transit.
Choose the Right Shipping Method : Select a shipping method that offers expedited delivery and temperature-controlled options, especially if your items are highly perishable or sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
Monitor Transit : Keep track of your shipment's progress and monitor the temperature if possible, especially if shipping perishable items. This will allow you to take action if there are any delays or issues during transit.
Consider Insurance : Depending on the value of your items, you may want to consider purchasing shipping insurance to protect against loss or damage during transit.
