The Gaps Are the Risk
Temperature-Sensitive Packing
A refrigerated truck and a refrigerated warehouse do not make a cold chain on their own. The failures happen in between: on a loading bay, during a transfer, waiting for an inspection. Thermal packing is what carries the goods through those gaps, and it matters most on the legs nobody is measuring. It sits alongside our refrigerated transport rather than replacing it.
What It Protects
Goods With a Range to Hold
If the specification names a temperature, the packing has to answer for it too.
- Pharmaceuticals and medical supplies
- Laboratory samples and reagents
- Cosmetics and personal care products
- Chocolate, confectionery and fine foods
- Chemicals with a storage range
- Preservation packing for long storage

Insulated packing is designed against a duration and a range, not against a vague instruction to keep something cool.
The range and the tolerance
Chilled covers a wide band, and pharmaceuticals, chocolate and reagents do not share one. The specification has to come from the product, not the category.
How long unrefrigerated
The packing has to hold for the longest realistic gap, including a customs delay. Designing for the planned journey rather than the possible one is how failures happen.
Ambient at the far end
A pack that performs in a European winter behaves differently in a Gulf summer. The destination climate is part of the specification.
What sits inside
Coolant, insulation and the goods themselves interact. Direct contact with a refrigerant damages some products as surely as heat does.
Tested against the worst case
Packing designed for the planned transit fails on the day something is delayed. The specification works from the longest realistic unrefrigerated period, including a customs hold.
Where It Is Used
Typical Applications
Thermal packing generally appears in one of three situations.
-
Bridging an unrefrigerated leg
Goods moving between two controlled environments with an uncontrolled step in the middle.
-
Air freight consignments
Where the cargo will sit on aprons and in handling areas outside any temperature control.
-
Long-term preservation
Goods packed to remain stable through extended storage rather than a single journey.
Why Cannata
We Also Own the Cold Legs
Packing designed by one company and a journey planned by another is how the gaps go unnoticed.
Specified against the journey
The packing is designed around the actual route and its uncontrolled steps, not a generic transit time.
Refrigerated transport too
Our own reefer vehicles carry the controlled legs, so the whole chain is planned together.
Storage at temperature
Goods that must wait can wait in storage rather than testing how long the packing holds.
