Packing Systems
When it comes to temperature controlled transportation, the appropriate packaging solution to keep the shipment at the right temperature remains a vital aspect of the supply chain process. This may be either through an active or passive system. Active shipping containers typically consist of using an energy power source and thermostat control to either actively heat or cool the system to maintain the correct product temperatures. Passive shipping containers, on the other hand, are insulated and uses refrigerants like Phase Change Materials (PCMs) or gel packs to keep the internal contents of the package within the specific required temperature range.
