The Original Thermal Protective Mailer - Thermopod®
Thermopod® Mailer
(US patent 9,738,420 B2 - 9/22/2017)
Our Thermopod® Mailer is a "green," biodegradable and/or recyclable temperature-control mailer.
The outer surface of the mailer consists of a biodegradable and/or recyclable film that is waterproof. The inner surface of the mailer is also a biodegradable and/or recyclable film that is micro-perforated. The micro-perforations allow quick absorption of condensate and/or an accidental payload leak.
Note: The inner film is not perforated for dry ice applications in order to slow the dry ice's sublimation.
Sealed in between the inner and outer films is a proprietary, biodegradable and/or recyclable, absorbent pad that is made from, purified, flocked, cotton.
The inner thermal-protective pad:
The Thermopod® Mailer has two closure seals at the top, one is an inner, re-closable seal for easy access to the payload area and one is a destruct-seal, on the outer, closing-flap to ensure safety and to prevent tampering.
The Thermopod® Mailer provides cost savings through:
The Thermopod® Mailer may be used as a stand-alone temperature-control shipper or it may be used as an internal package that maintains a prescribed cold temperature in a larger non-refrigerated container. Thus, instead of one truck for non-refrigerated shipping and one truck for refrigerated shipping, only one non-refrigerated truck is required.
All Thermopod® Mailers allow next day shipping. Premium Thermopod® Mailers can maintain required temperatures of 2-8 degrees centigrade, or 0 degrees centigrade, for more than 48 hours.
Note: Ask about ways to get even longer durations of time. As with the Thermopod® Mailer, the refrigerants used in the mailer are also recyclable and/or biodegradable so that the entire shipping system is, at once, cost effective, environmentally friendly and socially responsible.
For convenience, and to provide extra protection and insulation, we have sized our small, medium and large mailers to fit each of the delivery service's boxes:
The Thermopod® Mailer can be made virtually any size and further customized as to printing, logos, colors, etc.
For customized Thermopod® Mailers there is a one-time setup charge. Normal delivery time is ten days to two weeks. Pricing is determined by size and volume. All prices are FOB unless otherwise requested.
