Cold Chain Packaging Developments Led To Safe Transit Of Pharmaceutical Products

The cold chain defines the process of transporting different temperature-sensitive materials. Various refrigerated and thermal methods of packaging used in this process helps in protecting the integrity of products. Different developments in that arena of cold chain packaging ensure a safe transfer of sensitive products in different containers.

This process has turned out to be a science and shippers need to understand biological and chemical processes that are responsible for decay and decomposition. The technology used in this process relies on different methods of controlling temperature for the supply chain. Different tasks there are involved in this process helps in packing and monitoring products while storing or transporting the shipment.

Use of this technology dates back to an almost eighteenth century. In the nineteenth century, it gained momentum as the technology was used for transporting different food products and crops. Transportation of life science and pharmaceuticals with cold chain is a recent activity, and it dates back to the middle part of the last century.

The logistic industry has undergone different developments and segregations in the last few years.There are regulations of each industry, and it is mandatory for transporters to abide by those. Processes involved in cold chain packaging abide by these regulations.

Reliance of businesses on cold chain solutions has increased due to different benefits. Pharmaceutical industries, life-science firms, and different food processing industries now rely on the cold chain. Maintaining a low temperature is the key to different cold chain processes.Be it transferring vaccines to war zones or donor organs, maintaining the appropriate temperature to maintain efficacy is now easy.


An important advancement in cold chain technologies is round the clock monitoring of humidity and temperature. Use of indicators, data loggers, and different cold chain technologies help in recording data related to temperature fluctuation. Your shipment will be safe during the transit in a storage unit or the warehouse.
