Cold Chain
What is Cold Chain?
A continuous temperature-controlled supply chain that is designed to preserve the life cycle of perishable foods, drugs, chemicals and other products. By assuring consistent refrigeration through the product's passage from manufacturing, through transport and warehousing, to final delivery, the cold chain process impacts every step of the supply chain.
If you plan to ship products that need to be temperature-controlled or monitored, you must consider product stability, packaging, transportation, monitoring and temperature minimums. To address these issues, cold chain technology can include use of gel packs, dry ice, liquid nitrogen, reefers, insulated quilts and more.
