As one of the biggest industries worldwide, the pharmaceutical industry must adhere to a specific and strict set of regulations as their drug products are shipped around the world. These drug products have to be transported, handled, and stored in a manner which limits the risk of exposure to temperatures outside the labeled storage conditions. Failure to honor these circumstances set forth by the Food and Drugs Act, the principles of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), as well as appropriate storage and transportation practices can jeopardize the safety, quality, and overall effectiveness of the drug product in question.
Temperature is one of the most important parameters that needs to be controlled when dealing with the shipment of drugs, food, or natural health products. This especially holds true when dealing with drug products. Drugs must be stored and transported according to predetermined conditions that are supported by the specific drug’s stability data. Drugs within temperatures outside the given stability data will harm the quality and safe use of the product. Therefore, many shippers and logistic managers have turned to thermal pallet covers as a way to ensure that these temperatures stay at the appropriate level around their drug products.
SureTemp Thermal Pallet Covers
At Protek Cargo, we have developed the most reliable pallet covers that shippers turn to when looking to minimize the effects of temperature on their products. Our SureTemp thermal pallet covers are made from the best materials on the market, allowing them to be used heavily in the harshest of conditions. The outer shell of our product is made of a heavy-gauge woven polyethylene, heat-sealed to a poly coated aluminum foil for ultra-durability. The core of our blanket utilizes conductive synthetic allow fibers, which creates a tough, thermal barrier. This, in turn, assures shippers that our blanket’s insulating qualities remain consistent throughout the trip.
In the winter, the SureTemp thermal pallet covers work to trap the warmth, allowing product temperature to be stable and above freezing for longer periods of time. In the summer, the foil layer reflects harsh sunlight, minimizing temperature shifts, especially when a pallet is offloaded for a plane and is sitting on the tarmac.
Our SureTemp thermal pallet covers have helped pharmaceutical shippers in a handful of ways. One of the biggest ways these pallet covers help out is by eliminating the need for any returns. Replacing a shipment and disposing of it can be extremely expensive and a precious waste of time. By helping to regulate the temperature of the drug products, shippers are able to make smooth transactions without any concern. Another great aspect of SureTemp thermal pallet covers is their portability. They can be used countless times without the need of any moving parts or machinery that could potentially pose a problem for the shipper.
If you’re shipping drug products across the country, your best course of action would be to purchase some of our renowned SureTemp thermal pallet covers. Damaged pharmaceutical shipments can cost major amounts of money, as well as ruin the reputation of your shipment company. Don’t let these problems linger any longer.
