Transporter BlueLine VIP, different sizes from 5 L

Pharmaceutical products have unique temperature requirements that demand precise packaging solutions. Packaging is the first line of defense against unfriendly environments and needs to iron out all possible mishaps during the journey. Nevertheless, if you choose passive packaging, such as insulated boxes or palleshippers with phase change materials, Thermofoil solutions,  or active containers - choosing between them requires a deep understanding of shipping lanes and potential risks. What mostly is left behind in decision making are economic facts, such as the volume weight ratio. Some of the available equipment looks very economic from pricing, taking a close look, often shows, that landed costs can be reduced substantially, by choosing a different model of palletshipper, for example. Thermofoil might be the way to go for substantial shipment sizes with CRT Transport Requirements.

Assessing lane risks is critical. Transport routes with extreme temperature variations, long transit times, or unreliable handling conditions may necessitate enhanced insulation and thermal protection.
Validation is key—regulatory authorities demand proof that packaging meets required temperature standards. Pharma companies must work with packaging providers who offer validated solutions compliant with Good Distribution Practice (GDP) and other industry regulations.
