Pelton Shepherd is a trusted resource in the dynamic field of providing vaccine shipping solutions for temperature control. Developed to facilitate the unique demands of vaccine handling, our range of gel packs for shipping pharmaceuticals provides top-tier temperature control solutions.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requires refrigerated vaccines to be kept between 36 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit (2 to 8 degrees Celsius). Live vaccines, such as those for chickenpox and shingles, must be stored frozen and are considered extremely temperature-sensitive. Specific product protocols must be followed to ensure strict compliance. Best pharma shipping practices provide clear guidelines and regulations regarding the packaging requirements and optimal temperatures.
Maintaining full compliance requires careful monitoring and attention to detail during each part of the cold chain shipping process. While avoiding temperature rises is often top of mind when shipping vaccines, cold-weather shipping brings its own challenges.
With planning and state-of-the-art modern packaging solutions from Pelton Shepherd, successful vaccine shipping becomes a reliable process. We meet or exceed industry standards for cold chain packaging, including those that apply to vaccine shipping. Our team can provide documentation at your request.
The inclusion of refrigerants in containers containing vaccines is standard to ensure uniform cooling and prevent temperature excursions. Pelton Shepherd gel packs for shipping pharmaceuticals go beyond conventional methods to deliver reliable, cost-effective solutions. Our innovative range of gel packs includes products created to facilitate the regulations of specific pharma products, such as vaccines, and provide consistent, stable temperature control.
Shipping frozen vaccines with gel packs is possible when close attention is given to each aspect of the packaging and shipping process. Augment gel pack efficacy by using quality insulated packaging and fillers, which provide additional thermal barriers so vaccines stay within tight thermal ranges. We offer gel packs in various dimensions and weight specifications to suit your shipment. Our production process includes batch testing for temperature consistency and puncture resistance. This statistical process control ensures our production continuously meets stringent quality requirements before customers use the product.
Our range of reusable cold packs suitable for cold chain shipping of vaccines includes the following:
Incorporating Glacier Ice™, EcoGel™, Glacier Moisture Guard and Glacier Foam Bricks, Pelton Shepherd Glacier Temp cold chain solutions include cost-effective shipping options that can be tailored to meet the requirements of specific products.
Glacier Ice™ gel packs, which have a long record in the pharmaceutical industry, are now supported with designs featuring attributes such as puncture-resistant solutions and moisture-wicking properties. Certain designs, like Glacier Foam Bricks, also save space and minimize in-transit movement.
Delivering reliable temperature control solutions, Pelton Shepherd TerraTemp gel packs combine user-friendly design with eco-friendly practices. Terra Ice™ and Vortec Ice™ gel packs offer modern, accurate options for ensuring the cold chain when shipping vaccines. They maintain effective performance while offering environmental benefits. Both maintain a eutectic point of 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
The packs are nontoxic, compostable and recyclable. Some designs enable safe gel disposal down the drain, while others can be sent to the landfill whole and will break down over time.
Some applications are more demanding than others. If yours needs particular characteristics besides those required by our gel packs, we may be able to develop a custom solution. We can collaborate with you to learn your needs and determine the ideal design.
Demand surges, such as those driven by new vaccine rollouts, require reliability and flexibility. Pelton Shepherd maintains a robust manufacturing capacity and flexible production to ensure you receive a consistent supply. We strategically monitor our inventory and plan for risks so you always have the cold chain shipping solutions you need, even during demand spikes.
