Cold Chain Coolers help reduces shipping costs.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 08:33:47 -0400

Custom-designed to accommodate exact size and shape of product, Instapak® TempGuard(TM) coolers use polyurethane foam to keep temperature-sensitive products safe during shipment. Cavities can be customized to fit right amount of gel refrigerant or dry ice, lending to weight reduction, while ability to keep products colder for extended periods lets companies choose more cost-effective shipping options. Cooler is reusable, since foam is not fused to corrugated shipping container.
