Los Angeles � In today’s business environment, solutions for a green and effective temperature control packaging method are ever more important. The growing environmental concerns over Styrofoam waste that is piling up in landfills across the world has been recognized by Insulated Products Corp.�", an innovative insulated packaging solutions leader. IPC has answered by developing a new thermal technology with the potential to transform the current cold chain packaging industry.
IPC’s innovative temperature control packaging materials have revolutionized the cargo insulation industry. A traditionally wasteful and environmentally neutral industry, the cold cargo shipping industry is starting to embrace IPC’s innovative solutions to temperature controlled shipping.
CooLiner by Insulated Products Corp. is an advanced insulating liner that easily converts a corrugated carton into a cooler or insulated container. A smarter cold pack shipping solution than traditional foam products, CooLiner enables cold packaging shippers of perishables to maintain a temperature-controlled environment, improving the presentation and extending the quality of their brands � all while reducing supply chain costs and the shippers’ caron-footprint by using greener cold packaging materials.
Every year, 20 billion cubic feet of styrofoam is used globally for the shipment of 250 million perishable packages. With CooLiner, that massive amount of trash can be eliminated and landfill impact can be reduced by as much as 19.1 billion cubic feet per year. In addition, CooLiner uses only fifty percent of the raw materials, water and energy necessary for production versus that needed for a foam container with equal performance. Additionally, unlike bulky foam alternatives which end-users are left to dispose of and pollute the environment, the product disposes cleanly and compactly after use � greatly reducing landfill waste. The products are also 100% non-toxic, so any run-off associated with them after disposal is benign.
Large companies, especially those shipping perishables, recognize the importance of the effect of foam packing on their corporate image and their revenue streams yet, until CooLiner, a cost-effective �green’ alternative to foam has been breath of fresh air that is finally here. IPC is a business visionary company with more than 10 years in the specialty foods, transportation and supply chain industries. We believe that our products will make a difference in the world by addressing environmental challenges and reducing the carbon footprint of our customers.
The technological breakthrough leading to CooLiner’s ability to cushion, protect and maintain constant temperature is its unique combination of cushioning and radiant barrier materials. CooLiner is manufactured using layers of reflective barrier film and bubble film into a metallized bubble material which blocks heat transfer, keeping products protected longer.
The one of a kind thermal design is perfect for shipping products that need to be kept warm or cold such as diagnostic reagents, pharmaceuticals, biotech products, high-end seafood and meats, gourmet foods, confections, chocolates, fresh cut flowers, tropical fish and specialty industrial material products which must maintain specific temperature ranges. Today CooLiner is available if many forms. IPC converts CooLiner into thermal insulated bags, insulated pallet covers, or insulated skid covers, insulation covers for LD3, LD8 and LD10 air cargo containers.
CooLiner not only provides a better insulated shipping container, but it also protects and cushions better than Styrofoam. In addition, since it ships and stores flat, the product costs less to use. CooLiner also occupies 75 percent less warehouse space than required by foam boxes; reduces freight charges, as well as shipping and handling costs; and helps lower customer service claims for damaged product, due to its advanced insulating and cushioning properties.
Over ten million CooLiners products have already shipped around the globe. The product is proven to help ensure valuable goods arrive in the exact condition intended, all while improving profits companies and helping the environment. For more information, visit www.ipcpack.com
