Pelton Shepherd Industries provides pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors across the United States with reliable gel packs designed to solve complex cold chain challenges. Backed by 70 years of industry expertise and GMP certification, we deliver solutions you can trust.

The pharmaceutical cold chain demands precision, reliability, and innovation. Life science companies today navigate mounting pressure to maintain strict temperature control, reduce environmental impact, and manage shipping costs simultaneously. Standard refrigerants fall short. Pelton Shepherd’s engineered gel pack solutions augment your cold chain capabilities, delivering precise temperature management.

Our Gel Packs for Shipping Pharmaceuticals

Gel packs often serve as a necessary refrigerant in hybrid and passive temperature-controlled packaging in the pharmaceutical cold chain. They are easier and safer to handle and ship than alternatives such as dry ice. Gel packs are also typically available in various sizes, shapes and eutectic points to meet temperature control needs.

We offer several innovative gel pack options to help you maintain the required temperatures and prevent product degradation while transporting pharmaceuticals. Our gel packs are reusable, making them a cost-effective option, and designed to solve pain points related to shipping temperature-sensitive products.

Trusted When Cold Matters

If you’re seeking cost-effective, durable refrigerants for +30 F shipping needs, consider our GlacierTemp line of ice packs.

Trusted When Sustainability Matters

Our uniquely sustainable TerraTemp packs are ideal if your organization is interested in sustainability and reducing carbon footprint while maintaining accurate temperatures. They have a eutectic point of 32 F and are available in a range of sizes.

Trusted When Accuracy Matters

Our CuraTemp gel ice refrigerant is carefully formulated to provide accurate temperature controls and minimal expansion when frozen. Consisting of organic materials and semi-solid, non-toxic gel, CuraTemp packs are available in various eutectic points ranging from -10 F to +30 F.
