Which & When

Right Tool for Every Cold Chain

Three shipment types, three cooling configurations.

Perishable Food & Meal Kits

Gel packs hold 2–8 °C for 48 h. Pair with dry ice blocks and pellets for 5-day seafood, meal-kit, or gourmet frozen food shipping.

Pharma & Lab Specimens

Clinical samples and biologics need precise 2–8 °C control for pharma and lab shipments — even on multi-leg air cargo cold chain routes.

Catering & On-Site Events

Keep food at service temperature without the mess of loose ice. Gel packs in insulated coolers — the caterer’s clean, reliable setup.

Gel Packs vs. Dry Ice — Which One?

	Gel Packs	Dry Ice	Combined
Temp range	2–8 °C (refrigerated)	−78.5 °C (deep freeze)	Both zones
Duration	Up to 48 hours	Up to 5 days	Up to 5 days
Reusable?	✓ Yes	✗ No (sublimates)	—
Best for	Fresh produce, pharma, events	Frozen foods, long transit	Complex multi-temp shipments

Most shipments go wrong because shippers use one tool when they need two. When transit exceeds 48 hours — or your product has multiple temperature zones — the right answer is both.

FAQ

Cold Shipping Supplies — FAQs

What buyers ask before ordering coolers and gel packs — answered straight.

How long do gel packs stay cold?

Subzero gel packs maintain 2–8 °C for up to 48 hours inside an insulated cooler. For routes beyond 48 h, pair them with dry ice. Actual duration depends on ambient temperature and cooler size.

Are the gel packs reusable?

Yes. Freeze, use, refreeze — our leak-proof, US-manufactured gel packs handle repeated freeze-thaw cycles without degrading. Most commercial customers get dozens of reuse cycles from each pack.

Can I use gel packs and dry ice together in the same cooler?

Yes — and it’s often the optimal cold chain setup. Dry ice provides the deep freeze; gel packs maintain the 2–8 °C refrigerated zone. Together, they cover shipments that require multiple temperature bands in one package.

What cooler size do I need for my shipment?

Our 15 qt cooler handles same-day or overnight shipments. For 2–5-day transit, the 55 qt or 75 qt is the right choice. Not sure? Contact us — we’ll spec the correct size for your route and product volume.

Do you offer bulk or volume pricing?

Yes. We serve commercial accounts — distributors, labs, food shippers — with wholesale pricing on both coolers and gel packs. Contact our team for a custom volume quote.

Can you ship coolers and gel packs with a dry ice order?

Absolutely — one supplier for your complete cold chain kit. Add coolers and gel packs to a dry ice delivery or pickup, and we’ll have it ready together.
