Definition of Cold Chain:
A cold chain is a temperature controlled supply chain. An unbroken cold chain is an un-interrupted series of storage and distribution activities which maintain a given temperature range. It is used to extend and to help ensure the shelf life of products such as chemicals, foods and drugs.

APEX Packaging is committed to supporting your global cold chain requirements through the custom design and manufacturing of high performance, cost effective thermal pack solutions.

Insulated Containers
Manufactured from high quality PUR polyurethane foam and high density PE polyethylene our insulated containers will offer:

Longer Shipping Cycle - reduced freight costs
Custom Sizes - with low minimum orders
Creative Design Configurations - reduced refrigerant consumption
Global Green Program
Ship on Fridays or during holidays

Our insulated shipping containers improve performance by maintaining temperature control for longer periods of time. This enables you to use an efficient amount of refrigerant and reduce freight costs. You may be able to switch your overnight air shipments to Two or Three Day Service.

Custom sizes are available which allows for the absolute correct sized container, this will reduce material cost, reduce the overall DIM, and ensure temperature control.

One of the unique opportunities with our insulated containers is that during the design process we can build in special cavities to accommodate refrigerants and improve thermal qualities. This will also maximize cubeage within the container.

The APEX Packaging Insulated Container supports the global sustainability initiative. Our containers are designed to utilize the least amount of foam so less enters the waste stream. APEX Packaging Coolers are an excellent fuel source for waste to energy facilities. They are highly compressible, occupy 10% of their original volume in a land fill and are biostable and recyclable. No contribution to air or water contamination will result from degradation.

TempShield™ Reflective Air Cellular Insulation for Interior Packaging · TurboTag® RFID Monitoring Solutions

TempShield™ Reflective Air Cellular Insulation for Interior Packaging

Custom Made Self Seal Bags
Custom Made Carton Liners
Pallet Covers
Standard and Custom Roll Stock

Consists of a layer of air cellular cushioning material laminated to reflective aluminum film to provide excellent thermal value

Third web foil bubble laminate is FDA approved

Thin and lightweight, yet provides resistance against all three types of heat flow: conduction, convection and radiant heat

Compact and pliable, it conforms to product shapes and sizes better than alternative insulating materials

Time is money. And the ability to make timely decisions in cold chain management is critical. Loss due to improper handling or transport of perishable food and pharmaceuticals can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars; possibly even millions. The ability to effectively capture and interpret a shipment’s temperature history can help to prevent these losses.

TurboTag® RFID Monitoring Solutions were designed by Sealed Air Corporation, along with technology partners, for temperature control assurance in the supply chain. Representing a cost/performance breakthrough in data logging, with unprecedented ease of data capture, TurboTag® solutions support timely and well-informed logistic decisions. We have engineered a data architecture that enables kinetic calculations for digital shelf life estimation alongside standard upper/lower temperature limit analysis

The cold chain distribution process is an extension of the cGMP environment that all drugs and biological products are required to adhere to, enforced by the FDA. Therefore all processes that might impact the safety, efficacy, or quality of the drug substance must be Validated, including storage and distribution of the drug substance. Performing thermal testing can also help with validating the cold chain. Separate temperature data loggers measure temperatures within the product load to determine the response of the package to the test conditions.

As part of the cold chain approval design process APEX Packaging will submit your cold chain pack for verification and validation testing which will include:

ISTA, ASTM, ISO and NMFC Testing
Atmospheric Conditioning and Testing
Cold Chain Testing
Certification and documentation options available
