Before using an ice gel pack in a food shipment, confirm what the specific product is intended for and whether its materials and handling suit your packing plan. PlastoCraft’s WhatsApp Business catalogue does not list a food-grade or food-contact statement, or validated temperature and duration data for food shipments.

Questions to resolve before a food shipment
- Confirm intended use. Ask whether the specific product is suitable for your use around food and how it should be separated from the food or its primary packaging.
- Check physical fit. Measure the usable internal space in the insulated container and compare it with the catalogue dimensions. Confirm compatibility with your packaging and handling process.
- Set requirements from your product plan. Identify the required shipment temperature and duration with the responsible food-safety or product owner.
- Request evidence and preparation instructions. The catalogue does not give validated cooling duration, temperature range, food-contact documentation or a preparation method for a food shipment.
- Validate the complete pack-out. Test the actual payload, insulation, pack placement, route and handling conditions against your requirements before relying on the configuration.
What is not established by the catalogue
The catalogue does not support claims that a PlastoCraft product is food-grade, non-toxic, leak-proof, safe for direct contact, or able to keep food at a specific temperature for a set number of hours. It also does not list a dedicated food-shipping gel pack. Ask PlastoCraft for current product documentation and confirm the intended use before purchase.
