Discover Insulated food delivery
The science behind temperature control in food delivery
Delivering food at the right temperature is no small feat. Whether piping hot curries or chilled desserts, maintaining ideal conditions from kitchen to doorstep requires more than a standard takeaway bag. Insulated food delivery relies on innovative materials, precise engineering, and clever design to keep contents safe and satisfying.
Insulation technology that makes a difference
Hydropac’s solutions, particularly those within our FreshPac range, are engineered to address the temperature fluctuations that often occur in last-mile delivery. We employ layered insulation, reflective barriers, and water-based cooling elements to provide consistent temperature maintenance.
Our technologies include:
- ReflectiveAir™: A single or double layered foil insulation designed to reflect radiant heat and stabilise internal temperatures.
- EnviroCool™: A kerbside recyclable insulation option made for high-volume, eco-conscious food services.
- Recycle-Air™: Recyclable, lightweight, and ideal for short-duration chilled deliveries.
These solutions work seamlessly with gel-based or water-based ice packs, ensuring temperature-sensitive meals stay within safe ranges—even during traffic delays or multiple drops.
Customisation for food delivery operations
At Hydropac, we know that one size rarely fits all. That’s why our insulated bags and boxes are available in a wide range of shapes, volumes, and temperature profiles. Whether you’re a meal prep business, a catering company, or a delivery app partner, we tailor our packaging to suit your logistical demands.
- Options for hot, chilled, or dual-temperature zones
- Branding and colour-matching available for customer-facing kits
- Bag inserts, dividers, and waterproof linings for optimal performance
All solutions are designed for food-grade compliance, easy sanitisation, and reusability—meeting the strict hygiene standards of food delivery services.
