Warm-weather shipments put more demands on the complete insulated package, but a fixed pack count or cooling duration cannot be chosen from the gel pack alone. The right configuration depends on the shipment’s required temperature, payload, insulation, route and handling. Test the intended pack-out under representative conditions before relying on it.
What PlastoCraft’s catalogue lists
The WhatsApp Business catalogue includes several ice gel packs and pads. One option has dimensions and a preparation note: the cooler gel pad is 572 g, measures 4 × 6 × 1 in, uses an HDPE bottle with a screw cap, and says “freeze before use.” The catalogue lists a vaccine-box gel pad at Rs 110 and medicine transport pouches at 200 g, 250 g, 450 g and 600 g; the 600 g pouch is listed as 6 × 9.25 in. A gel pad for ice-cream vending cycles is listed at Rs 550. Details and prices were checked on 8 October 2026; confirm current availability and terms.
Summer pack-out checklist
- Write down the shipment requirement. Confirm the product owner’s required temperature range, allowable duration and handling instructions.
- Describe the route. Note expected transit time, loading and unloading stops, exposure to sun or vehicles, and any other warm-weather handling conditions.
- Measure the package and payload. Check the usable internal space and how the product will sit with the pack and separators.
- Confirm the gel pack details. Request missing dimensions, preparation instructions and suitable placement guidance for the specific item.
- Validate the full configuration. Test the actual container, payload, pack arrangement and route conditions, recording temperatures when required by your quality process.
- Review the result before shipping. Adjust the packaging only through a documented process and repeat validation when the configuration changes.
Do not assume a fixed pack count
The WhatsApp catalogue does not provide a standard number of packs for a given box size, summer ambient temperature or transit duration. It also does not list a validated temperature range, cooling duration, conditioning procedure or performance data for a specific insulated container. Ask for evidence related to the product and configuration you intend to use; validate it with the payload and route.
Frequently asked questions
How many gel packs do I need for a hot-weather shipment?
The catalogue does not specify a pack count for a box size or summer route. Determine this by validating the complete pack-out against the product owner’s requirements.
Will the 572 g cooler pad work for medicine or vaccine shipments?
The catalogue describes it for an air cooler and does not provide medicine or vaccine shipment validation. Confirm the intended use and supporting evidence with PlastoCraft before selecting it for another application.
How long will a gel pack maintain the required temperature?
No validated cooling duration or temperature range appears in the catalogue. Request product-specific evidence and test the full shipment setup.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the exact product, dimensions, material, preparation instructions, current price, stock and applicable minimum order quantity.
