At Stephen Gould, our cold chain packaging solutions are engineered for reliability, safety and performance, especially when precision matters most. Whether it’s last-mile delivery or meeting strict regulatory standards, we understand the complex demands of industries like food, pharmaceuticals, biotech, and logistics. Our solutions provide trusted insulation and protection exactly where it’s needed most.
Solving for the Last Mile
The final stage of delivery poses some of the greatest risks in temperature-sensitive shipping. Product integrity can be compromised by shifting conditions, rough handling, or inefficient packaging. That’s why we design insulated containers and liners specifically for last-mile delivery in the cold chain.
Our solutions help clients ship perishables, frozen goods and heat-sensitive pharmaceuticals with confidence, ensuring a seamless handoff from fulfillment to doorstep.
Built for Precision and Performance
Our insulated mailers and containers feature:
- Reusable, non-toxic materials
- Leakproof zippers that stay dry
- Thick, multi-layer construction that cushions and protects
- Flat-packing designs that optimize storage and shipping
- Pre-conditioning for enhanced cold retention
Each component plays a vital role, air insulation, light protection, thermal isolation and refrigerant compatibility, all working together to maintain critical temperatures and minimize environmental impact.
Sustainability Without Compromise
Eco-conscious options are also available for clients seeking to reduce landfill waste. Our recyclable packaging lines are:
- Made from post-industrial, pre-consumer paper fibers
- Fully curbside recyclable
- Certified for repulpability and OCC-E standards
- Designed to collapse flat for easy disposal
These solutions offer up to 72 hours of thermal protection with the added benefit of environmental responsibility.
Qualified Protection Across Conditions
We offer tested and validated packaging for a wide range of temperature conditions:
- Refrigerated (2˚–8˚C)
- Controlled Room Temperature (15˚–25˚C)
- Frozen (< –20˚C)
These configurations have been pre-qualified to maintain performance over 48 to 120 hours, even under seasonal extremes. We also support modular pack-outs with standardized components, simplifying inventory and training while enabling efficient scaling across product lines.
Operational Efficiency at Scale
Stephen Gould’s cold chain offerings are engineered for repeatability and speed:
- Zero bench-time options allow for immediate packing and fulfillment
- Simplified seasonal pack-outs minimize assembly time
- Optimized dimensional weights reduce freight costs
- Standardized packaging designs ease staff training across sites
By reducing the number of configurations needed for different temperatures and durations, clients benefit from a lower total cost of ownership and smoother operations.
Why It Matters
Cold chain packaging demands more than insulation. It requires precision, regulatory alignment, and complete control across every touchpoint. Stephen Gould provides a single point of contact to manage all packaging components, from rapid prototyping through transit testing. Our streamlined process accelerates development and keeps projects aligned with compliance standardsevery step of the way.
