Start with shipment requirements
Choosing a reusable ice gel pack or pad is one part of planning a medicine shipment. Start with the medicine’s labelled transport conditions, the shipper’s approved handling plan and the insulated shipper dimensions. A product’s listed weight or use label does not establish a temperature range, cooling duration or validated pack-out.
DRAP’s Good Distribution Practices call for qualified equipment for temperature-sensitive products and appropriate transport conditions. WHO guidance also emphasizes suitable containers packed under established procedures.
Catalogue-listed options for medicine transport
Current WhatsApp catalogue listings for medicine and vaccine transport include:
- 250 g aluminium foil pouch — Rs 60; listed MOQ 500–1,000 pieces. Confirm dimensions.
- 450 g aluminium foil pouch — Rs 85. Confirm dimensions and MOQ.
- Vaccine-box gel pad — Rs 110; dimensions are not listed. The product page lists a 1,000-unit minimum.
- 300 g reusable medicine pad — 4.8 × 6 × 1 in; Rs 140. Confirm current MOQ and fit.
Confirm the current price, stock and order terms for the exact item before purchase.
Check dimensions and product fit
The catalogue lists a 300 g reusable medicine pad measuring 4.8 × 6 × 1 in. Dimensions for several other catalogue formats are not listed, so ask for the exact item dimensions before purchase. Compare them with the insulated shipper’s internal measurements and planned placement.
Confirm current product details, handling instructions, fit, stock, price and minimum order quantity. Product dimensions alone do not validate a complete pharmaceutical pack-out.
What to include in your RFQ
To receive a useful bulk quote, share:
- The catalogue item and order quantity.
- The insulated shipper type and its internal dimensions.
- The shipment’s origin, destination, expected transit time and hand-offs.
- The handling conditions and monitoring plan the responsible shipper must follow.
- Your delivery city and requested date.
Validate the complete pack-out
The responsible shipper must validate the complete packaging configuration against the medicine’s required conditions. Assessment may need to account for the shipper, pack placement, load, route, expected transit time, seasonal conditions and monitoring approach.
A gel pack or pad listing alone does not demonstrate that a shipment will remain within a required range or for a stated duration. Confirm the product details with the supplier and follow the shipper’s documented procedures.
Choose a format by fit and confirmed details
Foil-pouch packs and reusable pads are separate catalogue formats. Compare the available space and planned pack placement in your insulated shipper, then request exact dimensions and product details for the item you plan to order.
Where the catalogue or product page does not list a dimension, material detail or handling instruction, ask PlastoCraft to confirm it before placing a bulk order.
Before ordering and dispatch
Before ordering, confirm these details for the specific catalogue item:
- Dimensions, material and handling or freezing instructions.
- Current availability, price, minimum order and delivery terms.
- Fit with the shipper and pack-out plan the responsible shipper intends to qualify.
For medicine shipments, follow the responsible shipper’s documented storage, transport and monitoring procedures.
Request a bulk quote
Send the product name or weight, required quantity, shipper dimensions, route and delivery city. We can then confirm current catalogue details, stock, price and order terms for the selected format.
References and next steps
For the complete requirements, refer to the DRAP Good Distribution Practices and the WHO guidance on pharmaceutical distribution. These are references for the responsible shipper’s planning; they do not certify any PlastoCraft pack or pack-out.
Compare the catalogue items above and send a quote request with your shipper dimensions, route and required quantity.
