Global design and testing, built for repeatable performance
Thermogard combines in-region packaging design, rapid prototyping, ThermalIQ® modelling and controlled laboratory testing to develop cold chain packouts around your product, route and operating requirements. From first concept to full validation, we help customers reduce development time, prove performance and move confidently into production.
Our laboratories in Pleasanton, California; Delhi, India; Auckland, New Zealand; and Geelong, Australia provide regional access to design, prototyping, testing and validation capability.
Local technical teams can work through requirements in-market, shorten development cycles and support a smoother transition from concept to production.

Every project follows a structured development process that combines requirements-led design, material selection, digital modelling and physical testing.
Designed around your application
Every project starts with the shipment itself: product sensitivity, target temperature, transit duration, lane profile, payload, handling environment, sustainability goals, budget and operational constraints.
The result is a packout designed around the real application, not selected from a fixed catalogue.
The right material, not a preferred material
Thermogard is not tied to one insulation or cooling technology. Our teams can evaluate a broad range of insulation systems, coolants, cartons, liners, phase change materials, recyclable materials, reusable formats and hybrid configurations.
We specify the combination best suited to your thermal performance, sustainability, operational and cost objectives.
Rapid prototyping and ThermalIQ® modelling
For suitable projects, our teams can work through multiple packout iterations within one week. ThermalIQ® modelling lets us compare insulation, coolant, payload, duration and ambient conditions, helping refine the design and establish a desktop-validated concept before full physical testing.
Full laboratory testing and validation
Selected concepts move into controlled physical testing using Thermogard’s in-house laboratory equipment and technical expertise. Testing is selected around the risks, profiles and approval requirements of each programme.
Validation outputs can include performance data, thermal graphs, packout configuration summaries and formal reports to support internal review and approval.
Designed for repeatable results
A single successful test is not enough. Thermogard defines the approved packout configuration, conditioning requirements and assembly method, then tests against controlled profiles to build confidence that performance can be reproduced across repeated shipments, operators and locations.
Controlled, repeatable testing also provides a clearer basis for comparing materials and packout options.
Testing capabilities
Testing is selected around the performance risks and approval requirements of each customer programme.
Thermal chamber testing
Controlled, repeatable temperature profiling under defined ambient conditions.
Humidity testing
Assessment of packaging performance and integrity in high-moisture conditions.
Seasonal optimisation
Performance tuning for summer, winter and lane-specific profiles.
Stability and durability testing
Assessment of structural and thermal performance through handling and transit.
Drop testing
Evaluation of packout resilience during defined handling events.
Distribution stability testing
Assessment of packout integrity through expected distribution conditions.
Thermal imaging
FLIR imaging used during development to identify cold spots, heat ingress and thermal behaviour.
Recyclability testing
Assessment of material and packout options against project sustainability requirements.
Once a solution is approved, Thermogard can transition the defined packout into manufacturing and ongoing supply through its regional network.
This connects design and testing with consistent production, documentation and long-term programme support, helping customers scale without losing control of the approved configuration.
