Help & FAQs
The thermal packaging solution you need will depend on the product you’re shipping (e.g. perishability, weight, fragility, size), the temperature that needs to be maintained in the pack (ambient, chilled, frozen) and the shipping journey (e.g. how will you be shipping the product – by air or by courier networks etc).

You should also consider if there are any legal requirements for the particular product you’re shipping, such as food or pharmaceuticals. This may differ, depending on where you’re shipping to and from, especially if you’re shipping internationally.

At Macfarlane Packaging, we have a team of temperature controlled packaging experts. Get in touch if you need further advice.

Chilled packaging shipping boxes and thermal liners from Macfarlane Packaging are packaging solutions designed to protect and maintain the quality of goods during transit, particularly for temperature-sensitive products.
  • Shipping boxes: These are sturdy containers, made of corrugated cardboard, that provide structural protection for items being transported. Macfarlane Packaging offers a variety of box sizes and strengths suitable for different shipping needs.
  • Thermal liners: These are insulating materials used to line the inside of shipping boxes, helping to regulate the temperature of the contents. They are especially useful for perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive items. Thermal liners help keep products cool or chilled during shipping by reducing heat transfer and can be used in combination with refrigerants like ice packs.
Together, these products are designed to ensure that goods are safely delivered while maintaining their required temperature and condition.
Chilled packaging is packaging that is designed to preserve the temperature of goods during shipping. It is used to protect products such as food (including meat, dairy, fish and prepared meals), drinks, pharmaceuticals and other temperature sensitive products.

You may also see this type of packaging referred to as temperature controlled packaging, as well as thermal packaging.

During use, thermal packaging will maintain an ambient, chilled, or frozen temperature within a pack, if paired with an appropriate coolant. This type of packaging is widely used in cold chain logistics (where goods throughout the supply chain require low temperatures).  

Thermal packaging can also be used to retain heat, where goods are required to be kept at warm during shipping.
