Shipping cold packs and ice packs: one product, three names
Shipping cold packs and ice packs: one product, three names
Gel packs for shipping, shipping cold packs and ice packs for shipping are the same thing: a sealed pouch of refrigerant gel that you freeze or refrigerate, then pack around your product in an insulated box. Suppliers use the names interchangeably. What actually changes between packs is the size, the gel weight and the outer material.
Pair them with insulated shipping boxes or insulated box liners, or browse all cold chain shipping supplies.

Shipping gel pack questions
How long do gel packs last in shipping?
It depends on the whole pack-out: total gel weight, how well the box is insulated, the payload, its starting temperature, transit time and the outside temperature. Tell us your box, route and transit time and we will help you plan the pack weight and count. Hold times should be confirmed by testing your own configuration.
Where can I buy gel packs for shipping in bulk?
Right here. Choose a size from the spec table or ask for help choosing, then request a quote. We quote by the case, by the pallet and for scheduled repeat deliveries.
Should I use dry ice or gel packs for shipping?
Gel packs do not require dry ice hazmat labeling, are reusable and are easy for staff to pack. Dry ice is used for deep frozen goods and requires dry ice handling and compliance with carrier rules. Ask us for help choosing for your shipment.
How many gel packs come in a case?
Case quantities range from 7 to 192 packs, depending on the exact option. The spec table lists the quantity for each pack.
Can you quote a custom size or recurring order?
Yes. Choose help selecting a size and describe the dimensions or recurring quantities in your shipment notes. Availability and order requirements are confirmed in your quote.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes. Tell us your delivery ZIP and we will include freight and lead time in your quote.
