Right Tool for Every Cold Chain

Three shipment types, three cooling configurations.

Perishable Food & Meal Kits

Gel packs hold 2–8 °C for 48 h. Add dry ice blocks and pellets for 72-hour seafood, meal-kit or gourmet frozen food shipping.

Pharma & Lab Specimens

Pharma and lab shipments need precise 2–8 °C control for clinical samples and biologics. Even on multi-leg air cargo cold chain routes.

Catering & On-Site Events

Keep food at service temperature without the mess of loose ice. Gel packs in insulated coolers are clean and reliable.

Most shipments go wrong when shippers use one tool but need two. Transit over 48 hours, or more than one temperature zone? Use both.

How to Pack a Shipment With Gel Packs

Three steps for a clean 2–8 °C shipment. Pharma or lab samples? Follow your validated packout first.

  1. 1

    Freeze them solid

    Freeze the packs flat until completely solid. A half-frozen pack loses its cold hours early.

  2. 2

    Surround the product

    Place packs above and around the product in an insulated cooler. Fill empty space so cold air stays put.

  3. 3

    Close it and ship

    Close the cooler right away. Route over 48 hours, or need a frozen zone? Add dry ice.

Handle Dry Ice Safely

Dry ice is solid CO₂ at −78.5 °C. Always handle it with insulated gloves, never bare hands. Never consume it.

Never seal it airtight. The gas needs to vent. Keep it away from children and pets. Use only in well-ventilated spaces.

Gel Packs — FAQs

What buyers ask before ordering gel packs.

How long do gel packs stay cold?
Our gel packs hold 2–8 °C for up to 48 hours in an insulated cooler. Longer routes? Add dry ice. Outside temperature and cooler size affect the time.
Are the gel packs reusable?
Yes. Freeze, use, refreeze. They handle repeated freeze-thaw cycles without degrading. Most commercial customers get dozens of reuse cycles from each pack.
Can I use gel packs and dry ice together in the same cooler?
Yes, and it’s often the best setup. Dry ice gives the deep freeze. Gel packs keep the 2–8 °C zone. Together they cover more than one temperature band in one package.
Do gel packs need hazmat labels like dry ice?
Dry ice ships as a regulated item (UN 1845), with its own marking on air shipments. Gel packs don’t carry that requirement. Always check your carrier’s current rules.
Do you offer bulk or volume pricing?
Yes. Commercial accounts like distributors, labs and food shippers get wholesale pricing on gel packs. Call or request a quote for a custom volume price.
Can you add gel packs to a dry ice order?
Absolutely. Add gel packs and insulated coolers to a dry ice delivery or pickup. We’ll have everything ready together.
