Packaging Options

Meeting your evolving requirements
Whether you need a temperature-controlled container or custom packaging solutions to keep medical materials within range over great distances, or require a custom-built container to protect a delicate prototype, our packaging experts draw upon decades of experience to ensure that your shipment arrives on time, intact, and within range.

Active containers

Powered and protected
Active systems use a powered plant to maintain a variety of required temperature ranges. They are available in several payload sizes ranging from one to five EU pallets, the larger of which is represented by our fleet of state-of-the-art refrigerated vehicles. They are a good option when reliable infrastructure is guaranteed over the route.

Passive containers

Increasing efficiency
Passive packaging solutions provide extended temperature stability against a variety of environmental conditions. Passive solutions leverage various insulators—expanded polystyrene (EPS), expanded polyurethane (PUR) and vacuum-insulated panels (VIPs); and a variety of coolants—water/gel packs, dry ice, or phase change materials (PCMs).

Dry shippers

For low frozen ranges
Cryogenic shipments use a ‘dry shipper’—a strongly engineered cylindrical metal container enclosed in a rigid outer case. With your samples protected in a safe compartment, the container is filled with nitrogen vapor that maintains internal temperatures between -150° and -180°C for extended periods, and is suitable for air transport routes.

Our first preference is always World Courier. We choose World Courier for their dedicated service and ability to provide better options to handle various critical shipments.

 

Developing tomorrow’s solutions

Transforming volume shipping

Cocoon

Cocoon is a next-generation passive solution built to extend the range of temperature-controlled, pallet-sized shipments. Leveraging the latest developments in VIP and PCM technology, Cocoon provides extended performance without external power or the need to replenish coolant packs. And with zero temperature excursions since launch, Cocoon delivers unprecedented reliability and peace of mind.
 

CORE Labs

Validating your solutions

The researchers at our Climate Optimisation Research and Engineering (CORE) Labs continually evaluate custom packaging performance in a state-of-the art climate chamber, providing transparent qualification data for both regulatory compliance, and to drive informed packaging selection. CORE Labs developed Cocoon, which has already transformed temperature-controlled shipping. With other innovations currently in development, CORE Labs keeps medicine moving forward.
