Maintaining Precision Across Every Degree
When it comes to temperature sensitive shipping, precision and consistency are essential. Products such as vaccines, frozen foods and biologics require strict temperature management from dispatch to delivery. Even minor temperature fluctuations can compromise safety, quality or compliance. Hydropac provides innovative packaging solutions that ensure every shipment remains within its required temperature range, no matter the conditions outside.
Our advanced cold chain packaging systems are the result of years of technical expertise. Each component, from our gel packs and ice packs to our insulated containers, is engineered for stability, hygiene and reusability. Combined with real-world testing in our Climate Chamber, Hydropac products are designed to perform under the toughest temperature-sensitive logistics environments.

FAQ's about Temperature Sensitive Shipping
What does temperature sensitive shipping mean?
Temperature sensitive shipping refers to the process of transporting goods that must stay within a specific temperature range to maintain quality, safety or effectiveness. These include pharmaceuticals, frozen foods, fresh produce and biological materials. Maintaining correct temperatures throughout storage, handling and transit prevents spoilage and ensures product integrity.
Why is temperature control important in shipping?
Temperature control prevents temperature-sensitive items from being exposed to heat or cold that could alter their properties. For example, vaccines can lose their potency and frozen foods can suffer texture or flavour degradation. Hydropac’s insulated packaging and validated cooling systems maintain the correct temperature throughout the shipping process.
What types of packaging does Hydropac offer for temperature-sensitive goods?
Hydropac offers an extensive range of temperature-controlled packaging including FreshPac, PharmaPac and Ice Packs by Hydropac. Each system is designed for a specific application, FreshPac for food shipments, PharmaPac for pharmaceuticals, and Ice Packs for chilled or frozen logistics. Explore more options such as FreshPac ReflectiveAir and Hydropac Gel Ice Packs for validated performance across different temperature ranges.
Can Hydropac packaging be used for international shipping?
Yes. Hydropac’s cold chain packaging is suitable for air freight, sea freight and road transport. Each solution is lightweight, reusable and tested to meet the requirements of global temperature-controlled shipping standards, making them ideal for international distribution of perishable and pharmaceutical products.
How does Hydropac ensure sustainability in temperature-controlled shipping?
Hydropac integrates sustainability into every stage of design and production. Our packaging materials are recyclable, energy-efficient and developed to minimise waste without compromising protection. Solutions like RecycleAir and water-based ice packs reduce environmental impact while maintaining high insulation performance, supporting a more sustainable cold chain.
