Ice Packs for Shipping Medicines and GLP-1s

Cutting-Edge Solutions for Shipping GLP-1s, Peptides and Semaglutides

Shipping temperature-sensitive medicine requires packaging that can maintain the product’s required temperature range throughout transit. Many GLP-1 medications have strict refrigerated storage requirements and should be protected from freezing during transport.

At Pelton Shepherd Industries, we understand that excessive heat and freezing may both damage the product. Discover how our ice packs for medical transport help maintain the precise temperature control required to ship medicines without loss of efficacy or product integrity.

Reliable Cold Retention With Glacier Ice™

When matched to the shipper’s required temperature and packout, Glacier Ice™ can meet the shipping requirements for temperature-sensitive medications. Made from a specially formulated gel, the ice packs freeze fast but thaw slowly. Featuring a 32° Fahrenheit eutectic point, this product can help support refrigerated GLP-1 shipments when used in a validated packout. Choose this packaging line if you’re looking for the most economical option.

Leakproof Protection With EcoGel™

GLP-1 pens and vials can be prone to damage because of their shape. Our EcoGel™ ice packs feature a durable gel that resists leaking from small punctures and tears and expands minimally with freezing. These ice packs make a good choice for shipping medicines with sharp edges.

Moisture-Wicking Defense With Glacier Moisture Guard

When you need extra protection against the condensation of humidity, our Glacier Moisture Guard packs can help. These sweat-proof gel packs are designed to protect your products and packaging from water droplets caused when humid air meets a cooler surface. As a pharmaceutical packaging supplier, we prioritize quality to help ensure shipments arrive in the needed condition. You gain a reliable, long-term investment when you choose us for cold chain solutions.
