The Benefits Of Using Container Liners When Shipping Pharmaceuticals

By September 13, 2016 No Comments

Shipping any product on an ocean liner is risky. The ocean is a harsh environment and there can be some pretty unpredictable things that can happen. Pharmaceuticals are especially vulnerable to damage if they are not properly protected. So if you ship your pharmaceuticals overseas, you need to do everything you can to protect your business against shipping loss. One of the best investments you can make to protect your pharmaceuticals are container liners. Container liners provide incomparable protections and can safeguard your pharmaceuticals from a range of possible damages.

Container Liners Help Regulate Temperatures

Pharmaceuticals, especially those made with biological materials, are extremely sensitive to temperature changes. If the temperature is too hot or too cold, it can degrade the product, reducing the efficacy of the medicine. In some extreme cases, temperature exposure can render the medicine unsafe. So it is crucial that you regulate the temperature of your shipping containers.

Container liners are the perfect solution. They insulate the interior of the container against any external temperature changes. In cold environments they trap the warmth, so that your pharmaceuticals do not freeze. In warm environments they protect against the heat and the radiation of the sun, so that the internal temperature stays cool. Container liners are great for lengthy overseas shipping, especially when the ocean freighter is navigating multiple climates in one trip.

Container Liners Protect Against The Elements

Between heavy rains, ocean waves, and even major storms, ocean cargo can be exposed to the elements. Excess moisture and salt from ocean water can degrade and taint pharmaceuticals, ruining the quality of the product. So you need to make sure that your ocean liner container is sealed against these unpredictable elements.

Container liners are a great solution. They are designed to fit perfectly inside standard ocean liner containers and provide six walls of protection. They are fully sealed and zip tight to make sure nothing gets inside to compromise your product.

Container Liners Ensure Sanitary Conditions

Unless your business directly owns a set of shipping containers, most likely you will use containers that have shipped other things. You may not know what has been in these containers before so they may not provide the most sanitary conditions. Sanitation is especially vital when shipping pharmaceuticals because microbes easily compromise the quality of your product. So it is important to ensure that you are shipping your pharmaceuticals in the most sanitary conditions available.

This is another way container liners can help. Container liners line the entire container, providing a physical, sealed barrier against residual elements that may still exist. The interior of a container liner is extremely sanitary and will ensure that your pharmaceuticals are not compromised by unsanitary conditions.
