In recent years the demand within the cold-chain packaging industry to get goods to the end users in perfect condition has boomed. Especially within the increasingly popular and fast-growing meal delivery sector. Busy parents looking to optimize their work/life balance need to know that food products will get to them in the same pristine, temperature-controlled condition they left the factory in.
These are made from aluminum barrier foil and manufactured from 3D0038 and 3DUV129 laminates. They are designed to fit whatever box dimensions. Aluminum has a low emissivity which means that energy emits in a controlled way. This ensures that heat does not transfer to the goods inside. Heat reflects off the liner to make sure it cannot alter the temperature of the cold products inside. Thermal box liners should be approved to FDA standards for their use in transporting foods such as meat, cheese, complete meals, and wines. The liners provide a solid hermetic seal to protect the contents within by controlling and maintaining the temperature.
The global coronavirus pandemic has brought to everyone’s attention the need for life-saving vaccines. These must be transported across the country and around the world at a precise temperature to maintain their efficacy.
Certain medications can decompose or deteriorate in transit if not kept in a temperature-controlled environment.
Chemical products which are self-reactive. Thus, items requiring exact temperature stability can be safely transported in thermal box liners.
Meal delivery kits for home are popular with time-poor, harassed parents and guardians with no time or opportunity to get to the grocery store. These are a rapidly growing market for the cold-chain packaging industry. Another fast-growing sector is chilled pet foods. These are often manufactured and distributed in raw form. Thus, need to be delivered in a temperature-controlled packaging.
A protective packaging specialist such as 3D Barrier Bags can help and advise on how best to treat temperature. Critical goods ensure they are kept in the same constant ideal condition on the journey from manufacturer to end user.
They can be custom-made using multiple laminates as well as metalized bubble liners to fit the dimensions of any size of box or other containers. So, whatever your product is, whether chilled pharmaceuticals, chilled foods or entire meal kits, there is a box liner or pallet shroud for every specification. They are FDA-approved for food contact and transportation. Thermal box liners are made from tear and puncture-resistant materials. These are far superior to polystyrene fillers which can tear, break, or otherwise deteriorate in transit. The high barrier foil used in the manufacture of thermal box liners gives superior protection against radiant heat transfer. Therefore, you can be confident that your temperature-critical products will be safe from the distribution point to the end user point.
Some thermal liners can be recycled in some areas of the country. Thereby, are in fact more cost-effective than some of the more expensive so-called environmentally friendly packaging.
You can combine a thermal box liner with dry ice and gel packs to increase the storage time out of refrigeration. This can be up to an extra 48 hours depending on how many gel packs you use. A single pallet of liners is equal to several pallets of competitor packaging. So, you can reduce the storage space you require.
Thermal box liners are competitively priced and cost-effective when compared to other packaging and storage solutions. This makes them well worth considering when looking for packaging solutions that fit your needs and budget.
