There is no one answer to this question, unfortunately, as much of how long a gel pack will last in transit is dependent on external factors, such as ambient temperature, quality of insulation, the product being shipped and size and quantity of gel packs used.

To answer this question, we would suggest conducting live thermal tests using temperature probes to monitor your product over the desired time. We understand this can be overwhelming, so if you have any questions regarding testing, please let us know here!

This ranges for region, product and quantity, so if you have any questions or are needing something urgently get in touch!

Yes, being non-toxic, our Gel Ice is safe for septic tanks. We recommend you mix a tablespoon of salt with the gel before rinsing down the drain, this will thin the gel pack to a water form.

No, this is optional, however we recommend this as it will lessen the viscosity of the gel, and allow it to drain quicker.

No, our Gel Ice Pack film is soft plastics recyclable. You can accumulate your gel pack film with other soft plastics (as mentioned in our blog) and they can be disposed of at your local soft plastics drop off point.
