Sonoco Unveils New Temperature-Controlled Packaging Solutions for Pharmaceuticals

Temperature assurance packaging provider Sonoco ThermoSafe has introduced three-day and five-day shipping solutions for temperature-controlled pharmaceuticals and biologics.

The new line of packaging solutions is designed for the distribution of pharmaceutical and biological products.

The Certis platform provides solutions for pharmaceutical products which require 2-8°C, 15-25°C and frozen temperature control.

The universal pack-out design feature of each solution allows it for use in both hot and cold seasons. It can also accommodate the demands of cross-hemispheric shipments.

Sonoco ThermoSafe global marketing and business development director Vishal Khushalani said: “The Certis platform revolutionizes inventory management and reduces total cost of ownership by utilizing three types of refrigerants and eight shippers to create 24 shipping solutions.”

Sonoco said that the new solutions also ensure ease of personnel training by utilizing the same refrigerant pack-out for 3-Day or 5-Day shipments.

Khushalani added: “Simply substitute the outer insulated shipper to alter the duration. Our unique ZERO Bench-Time technology enables customers to immediately pack-out each solution, which significantly reduces assembly time and space requirements.”

The Certis platform will be used for Sonoco ThermoSafe’s ISC regional and global temperature profiles for shipping in excess of three days and five days, respectively.

Sonoco said it will offer the solutions in payload sizes of 6L, 14L, 26L and 56L for 2-8°C, 15-25°C and frozen in the US and Europe.

Sonoco ThermoSafe vice-president Russell Grissett said: “As shipments of pharmaceuticals and biologics increase globally, we are proud to present an entire range of parcel shipping solutions that can maintain strict temperatures in excess of 120 hours.”

In January, Sonoco ThermoSafe, a unit of Sonoco, developed new bulk temperature-controlled solutions to optimize air shipments of temperature-sensitive biologics and pharmaceutical products for durations exceeding five days.

The platform involves solutions for 2-8°C, 15-25°C and frozen temperature ranges.
