Specialized Packaging & Temperature Management
TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT

The Right Packaging. For the Right Temperature.

Temperature-controlled packaging is a critical component of pharmaceutical logistics.

RX Logistics coordinates both active and passive temperature-controlled packaging solutions, selecting the appropriate system according to shipment profile, temperature range, duration, route, and handling requirements.

Our packaging capabilities range from single-use temperature-controlled shippers to airline-approved cryogenic vessels.

We can coordinate the sourcing, preconditioning, preparation, and delivery of appropriate packaging solutions for individual shipment requirements.

Overview

Packaging Solutions Designed Around Shipment Requirements

Temperature-controlled packaging plays an important role in pharmaceutical and life sciences logistics.

The right packaging solution depends on several factors, including the product's temperature range, shipment duration, route, ambient conditions, handling requirements, and packaging performance.

RX Logistics coordinates active and passive temperature-controlled packaging solutions to support the transportation requirements of pharmaceutical and biological shipments.

Thermal Capabilities

Our Packaging Capabilities

Active Temperature-Controlled Packaging

Active systems use powered temperature-management mechanisms to maintain defined conditions within their operating parameters.

Where appropriate and available, we coordinate active packaging options according to the shipment profile, route, duration, and operational requirements.

Passive Temperature-Controlled Packaging

Passive packaging systems use insulation and suitable thermal components to help maintain required conditions during transportation.

We coordinate appropriate passive packaging options based on the product's temperature requirements and anticipated transit conditions.

Qualified Packaging Solutions

Packaging selection should consider the qualification evidence applicable to the specific packaging system and its intended use.

We help coordinate packaging solutions appropriate to the shipment's temperature requirements, route, duration, and handling conditions.

Single-Use Temperature-Controlled Shippers

Single-use shippers can be suitable for shipments requiring a defined temperature-control solution for a particular journey.

The appropriate shipper depends on the product, required temperature range, transit duration, and packaging specifications.

Cryogenic Vessels

Specialized cryogenic vessels may be required for certain biological and advanced therapy shipments.

We coordinate suitable vessel and transportation arrangements according to the shipment's requirements and the capabilities available for the route.

Packaging Preconditioning & Coordination

Some packaging systems require preconditioning before dispatch.

We coordinate applicable packaging preparation, preconditioning, and delivery arrangements according to the selected packaging system and shipment plan.

How We Approach Packaging Selection

Packaging requirements are evaluated according to the shipment profile.

Relevant considerations may include:

01

Product Temperature Range

Matching precise temperature tolerances from CRT to Cryo.

02

Expected Transit Duration

Ensuring adequate thermal autonomy across the full route.

03

Route and Transport Mode

Ground, air, or sea environmental stress profile.

04

Anticipated Ambient Conditions

Summer, winter, or extreme climate seasonal profiles.

05

Shipment Size & Configuration

Volumetric payload fit, weight, and dimensional stability.

06

Handling & Transfer Needs

Ramp transfer points, customs clearance, and transit hubs.

07

Monitoring Requirements

Real-time GPS beacons, Bluetooth loggers, or multi-use sensors.

08

Packaging Qualification

Operating instructions, manufacturer dossiers, and compliance data.

The selected packaging must be appropriate for the intended application and the conditions under which it will be used.
