Temperature-Controlled Protection You Can Trust

Ship with fewer excursions, stronger compliance documentation, and greater operational confidence—every time. From commercial food supply chains to regulated diagnostics and biologics, CPM protects high-value products and reinforces compliance at every step of distribution.

Temp Guide

Reliable Cold Chain Performance for Every Shipment

Cold chain packaging keeps temperature-sensitive products stable from pack-out through delivery. Temperature shifts, product mass, handling environments, and transit duration all affect how a solution must perform. We design and qualify cold chain systems by evaluating each of these factors, and testing them against temperature profiles. This ensures your products remain in the right condition whether shipped alone or as part of a kitted, multi-SKU, or regulated assembly. By aligning packaging engineering with hands-on 3PL operations, we shorten development cycles, streamline implementation, and prevent the execution gaps that often lead to shipment failure.

Cold Chain Packaging FAQs

Pre-qualified cold chain packaging is a ready-to-use shipping solution that has been tested to maintain specific temperature ranges for defined durations. Each system includes the shipper, insulation, refrigerants, and documented pack-out instructions. Pre-qualified solutions reduce development time and cost while providing proven temperature performance for cold, frozen, and ambient profiles.

Pre-qualified packaging is ideal when you need a reliable, cost-effective solution with documented performance under known conditions. Validation is typically required when shipping regulated products or when testing must be performed using your exact payload, shipping duration, and temperature requirements. CPM helps determine whether validation is necessary based on your product, risk tolerance, and regulatory expectations, including those set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Cold chain performance is influenced by more than temperature alone. Payload size and weight, shipping duration, conditioning requirements, pack-out labor, available freezer or cooler space, and shipping lanes all affect results and cost. CPM evaluates these factors together to design a solution that balances protection, efficiency, and total cost of ownership.
