Segmentation:

By product:

• Shippers: Parcel shipping systems are another name for shippers. These may transport a temperature-sensitive cargo with a volume ranging from 4 to 100 liters. Shippers use innovative vacuum-insulated materials and phase change materials to provide temperature protection for very temperature-sensitive goods. These are lightweight and cost-effective solutions for domestic, international, and last-mile delivery shipments.


• Containers: Meals, pharmaceuticals, organs, blood, biological materials, immunizations, and chemicals are in containers since they are temperature sensitive. Chest style, upright style and others are the type of containers. Chest-style insulated containers are made up of specially engineered packing shippers and containers that maintain a consistent temperature environment during transit to keep the packaged goods from being exposed to extremes of heat or cold.

By type:

• Active System: Active system ensure that goods are handled and sent at the correct temperature. Active system has active temperature management, which means they maintain a set temperature range with the least variation possible. There are three types of systems: heat and cool with dry ice, cool, and heat and cool using compressors. Active systems are ideal for transporting huge cargo over long distances, such as international shipments.


• Passive System: Passive containers are appropriate for usage in a regulated room temperature (CRT) environment or as general protection for low-risk cargo. Inside an insulated enclosure, a passive container provides a temperature-controlled environment. This can be done with or without thermostatic regulation and with or without using a finite amount of pre-conditioned coolants such as chilled or frozen gel packs, phase transition materials, or dry ice.

By temperature range:

• -20˚ C and below: The pharmaceutical sector requires the storage of very temperature-sensitive products. Frozen storage allows businesses to keep things like sensitive medications that need to be stored at a precise temperature for patient and industry use. Frozen storage may be an appropriate and advantageous product for scientific and medical research experiments.


• -20˚C to -10˚C: Pharmaceutical supplies such as vaccines, blood samples, and medical medications require pharmacy freezers' reliability and security. The refrigerator storage has a -20 to 10°C temperature control range. Remote temperature monitoring, tracking, recording, and reporting are among them.


• -10˚C to 10˚C: In - 10°C to 10°C, the packaging of a Pharmaceutical contains pre-frozen gel substance that can act as manufactured ice at 0°C while remaining colder for longer and being completely reusable. Gel packets can keep shipping temperatures between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius for cold products.


• 10˚C to 20˚C: Medical product testing, medicine stability, and the safeguarding of high-value medical items all require high-cool storage. Pharmaceutical firms who want to increase the quality of their product while expanding their storage capacity may consider investing in cool storage.


• 20˚C and above: pharmaceutical businesses and hospital employees may be compelled to store temperature-sensitive medication goods in room temperature storage for patients. Maintaining the integrity of pharmaceutical items requires ensuring that products are stored safely and that requirements specified by Ireland's regulatory agency are followed. Ambient storage is a good option for closely monitoring and evaluating items.

By payload capacity:

Possibility to create bespoke and personalized insulated shippers and containers for your marketing needs.


• 10L-20L: When transporting 10L-20L via air, both weight and capacity are important. A larger weight means more fuel is used, and more carbon dioxide is emitted. Active containers are frequently heavier than passive packaging, implying that they are more expensive and less environmentally friendly than passive alternatives.


• 20L- 40L: Pharmaceutical check weighers weigh individual pharmaceutical packages inline in the 20L-40L range, guaranteeing that each package is within a set weight range. The check weigher will fail a package if it is too light, such as missing a single blister pack. Boxes containing an excessive number of blister packs would also be rejected.


• 40L to 150L: Single-use water-based parcel shippers in the 40L-150L range are the preferred temperature control parcel shipper for the life sciences industry. This entirely recyclable brand presently includes a total of seven solutions.
