Description
Ice-Brix™ Cold Packs are reusable gel-filled thermal shipping containers designed to maintain precise temperature control during the transport of temperature-sensitive products. These leak-proof cooling packs are essential for cold chain logistics, pharmaceutical shipments, perishable food distribution, and medical specimen transportation.
Key Features and Specifications: Each Ice-Brix™ Cold Pack measures 8″L x 8″W x 1-1/2″H and contains 32 ounces of non-toxic gel coolant, providing dependable thermal mass for extended cooling performance. The white and blue exterior provides visual identification and professional appearance in shipping operations. Manufactured with durable polyethylene construction and sealed gel chambers, these packs deliver leak-proof performance that prevents product contamination and damage to packaging materials. The flat, compact design maximizes packing efficiency in insulated shipping boxes and coolers, reducing dimensional weight charges in expedited shipping. Each pack can be pre-frozen in a standard freezer or refrigerated depending on your target temperature requirements. The 9-pack quantity offers cost-effective bulk purchasing for high-volume shippers managing regular temperature-controlled distribution.
Industry Applications and User Base: Ice-Brix™ Cold Packs serve pharmaceutical distributors, biologics shippers, clinical laboratory suppliers, specialty food producers, and perishable goods carriers who require consistent passive refrigeration solutions. Healthcare facilities use these packs for vaccine distribution, blood product transportation, and organ transplant logistics. Food and beverage companies rely on them for cold chain management of fresh seafood, dairy, and prepared meals. The compact format is ideal for last-mile delivery operations, direct-to-consumer shipping, and e-commerce fulfillment centers managing temperature-sensitive inventory. Restaurants, meal kit services, and catering companies use these packs to maintain product integrity during ambient temperature exposure. Research institutions and diagnostic laboratories depend on them for specimen preservation and reagent stability during overnight shipping and ground transportation.
What to Consider When Selecting Cold Packs: When evaluating reusable cold pack solutions, prioritize freeze time consistency and temperature retention duration relative to your typical shipping distances and seasonal conditions. Assess the gel formulation quality—superior packs maintain stable cooling curves without rapid temperature fluctuation. Consider the pack-to-product ratio within your insulated shipping container to ensure adequate thermal buffering without over-cooling. Verify FDA compliance for food contact applications and confirm non-toxic certifications if products may contact the gel surface. Evaluate the durability rating across repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as reusable pack lifespan directly affects total cost of ownership. Compare dimensional efficiency and weight to optimize shipper box design and reduce dimensional weight charges. Confirm compatibility with your cold chain packaging standards and temperature monitoring protocols. Factor in storage space requirements and batch freezing capacity if managing high-volume shipments.
What size shipping box do I need for Ice-Brix™ Cold Packs?
The 8″L x 8″W x 1-1/2″H dimensions allow flexible arrangement in standard insulated shipping boxes. For a single 9-pack, most shippers use 12″x12″x6″ foam-lined coolers or equivalent corrugated insulated mailers. Calculate your required cubic capacity by accounting for product volume, pack arrangement, and filler material like packing peanuts or kraft paper for thermal stability and shock absorption.
How long do Ice-Brix™ Cold Packs stay frozen?
Cooling duration depends on ambient temperature, insulation quality, pack density, and initial freeze temperature. Pre-frozen packs typically maintain 32–50°F for 24–48 hours in properly insulated passive cooling systems. For
