Qualified Packaging
The selection of right packaging for sensitive shipment ensures longer lifetime.
Hence, we take into account the following factors:
Transit Time
We calculate the ideal time your shipment would take, ensuring no wastage of performance targets.
Transit Temperature
Since the temperature of the shipment defines its sustenance, we make sure that it’s controlled using gel packs at all times.
Refrigerant Volume
The performance of the qualified packaging is dependent on the amount of refrigerant used. Therefore, we ensure our calculations are spot-on, negating wastage.
Product Size
The volume and mass of the commodity impacts the performance of the packaging. We perform simulated tests of all our packaging to confirm its usability, giving you a safe and hassle-free experience.
