For any company, it is crucial to ensure that your product gets to stores and other ends of the supply chain as unharmed as possible. However, doing so can sometimes seem easier said than done. With the unpredictable weather and the vulnerability of your shipment, it may even seem near impossible at times. However, thanks to advancements in technology, ensuring the safety of your products doesn’t have to be a challenge.

But how do you know if passive thermal shipping is the right method for your shipment?

In order to know whether passive thermal shipping is right for you, you need to consider whether your products are vulnerable to temperature related damage or not. In truth, there are several different products that are much more easily damaged by temperature than you may realize. In fact, there really isn’t many that aren’t effected in some shape or form by high or low temperatures.

These products can include:

  • Beverages
  • Cosmetics
  • Electronics
  • Produce

Basically, anything you ship that could be harmed by high levels of heat or cold, will need some type of temperature control in order to ensure the safety of your items. Once you have figured out the necessity of temperature control for your products that is when you need passive thermal protection!
