All You Need to Know About Reusable Ice Packs

Reusable ice packs come in handy in a variety of applications and situations. These ice packs can last many hours longer than ice. If you are wondering how you can use them in your business, then read on!

Cold chain packaging and shipping solutions

Reusable ice packs are common in a ‘cold chain,’ which is a regulated process of keeping products under strict temperatures. The ice packs are placed inside insulation boxes and cold boxes together with temperature-sensitive products like foods, meat, seafood, pharmaceutical products, medications, vaccines, antibiotics, and serums. Reusable ice packs are made with a gel refrigerant, are water based and have a strong pouch, so that they don't damage or spoil your temperature sensitive products.

Food deliveries

Ready made meals, seafood, fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, and dairy are just some of the food products that need to stay cold throughout the delivery journey. Reusable ice packs are essential for this application. Some types of reusable ice packs are specifically made to be narrow so that they can be inserted into the gullet of a large fish, which ensures it is kept cold from the inside as well.

Apart from keeping products at the ideal temperatures, reusable ice packs can benefit your business in many other ways:

1. Keep the integrity of your products 

When ice cubes melt, the water can spoil your products and that can be a major problem for your business. This won't happen if you use reusable ice packs.

2. Save money and reduce manual labour

Reusable ice packs are also very simple to use. All you have to do is put them in a freezer overnight and wait for them to freeze. After using them and, if collecting them back from your customers, you can clean them by rinsing the pouch under water, put them in the freezer again and they will be ready to reuse again once frozen.

3. They last for days

Reusable ice packs are the best alternative to ice cubes because they last much longer and keep your products in a good state. They can keep goods chilled for up to 48 – 72 hours. With reusable ice packs, you can be sure that your food and other temperature sensitive products will remain fresh and cold during packaging and shipping.
