Chilled packaging

Chilled packaging is designed to protect temperature sensitive goods during shipping and storage, helping businesses maintain quality across the cold chain. Whether you are transporting food, pharmaceuticals or other temperature sensitive products, reliable chilled packaging solutions help maintain chilled or frozen conditions from dispatch through to delivery.

At Kite Packaging, our chilled packaging range supports cold chain logistics across the UK. From insulated boxes and thermal liners to gel ice packs and temperature controlled packaging systems, each packaging solution is developed to maintain the right temperature during transit.

Suitable for the food and drink industry, pharmaceutical sectors and many businesses handling perishable goods, our solutions help keep products fresh, secure and in perfect condition.

Choose the Right Chilled Packaging Solutions for Temperature Sensitive Goods

Selecting the right chilled packaging solution depends on your products, transit time and cold chain requirements. Shipping chilled meal kits will require a different approach to transporting frozen meat or pharmaceuticals at low temperatures. Maintaining cold chain integrity means understanding how long goods will be in transit and the conditions they may face within courier networks.

When planning temperature controlled packaging, consider:

• Required temperature ranges for chilled or frozen conditions
• Transit time and final destination
• Whether dry ice or ice packs will be used
• The level of insulation needed to maintain chilled products fresh

Many businesses rely on cost effective chilled packaging solutions that balance thermal performance with practicality. By choosing the correct packaging solution, you can protect temperature sensitive goods and maintain quality across the entire cold chain.

Insulated Boxes and Polystyrene Solutions

Insulated boxes form the core of many chilled packaging systems, helping maintain chilled or frozen conditions during shipping across the UK. Commonly used for meat, dairy, seafood, fresh produce and ready meals, they provide reliable thermal performance for temperature sensitive goods in transit.

Our range includes polystyrene boxes manufactured from expanded polystyrene (EPS), designed to maintain low temperatures for 48 to 72 hours depending on specification. For businesses focused on reducing environmental impact, insulated paper box liners and wool insulation packaging offer eco friendly alternatives while still maintaining products fresh and supporting effective cold chain packaging.

Insulated Box Liners and Thermal Liners

Insulated box liners and thermal liners provide a flexible chilled packaging solution when used inside standard boxes. Lightweight and easy to pack, they help maintain chilled conditions for meal kits, pet food, dairy and other temperature sensitive products during transit.

Available in standard and premium grades, these liners can be paired with dry ice or ice packs to extend transit time performance. Suitable for cold chain packaging and insulated packaging applications, they offer a cost effective way to maintain chilled goods without switching to fully insulated boxes.

Ice Packs and Gel Ice Packs

Ice packs are essential for maintaining cold chain integrity when shipping chilled or frozen products. Our range includes gel packs, gel ice packs and ice sheets, designed to operate across controlled temperature ranges and support low temperatures during transit.

Suitable for pharmaceuticals, fresh produce, seafood and frozen meals, gel ice packs help maintain products cold and fresh throughout shipping. When used as part of temperature controlled packaging systems, they provide a reliable chilled packaging solution for businesses managing cold chain logistics.

Thermal Pallet Covers and Temperature Controlled Packaging Systems

For palletised shipments, thermal pallet covers support temperature controlled packaging systems by reducing temperature fluctuations during transit. With reflective outer layers and insulating inner materials, they help maintain chilled or frozen conditions across larger loads.

Temperature controlled pouches offer similar protection for smaller consignments, making them suitable for courier networks handling temperature sensitive goods. Both solutions support maintaining quality across the cold chain while providing practical, scalable chilled packaging solutions for UK businesses.
