Frequently asked

What insulation type for 2-day perishable shipments?

Foil-bubble liners + 2 gel packs handle most 2-day transits; step up to EPS foam for 3+ days.

How many cold packs per box?

One pack per 2 lb of product is a safe starting point; adjust based on zone and season.

Can I ship frozen goods with gel packs only?

Below-freezing requires dry ice; gel packs hold refrigerator temperature, not freezer.

Do perishable shipments need special labels?

Yes — Perishable + Keep Refrigerated labels should be applied on multiple faces of the box.
