TCP Lab Test Results

Temperature Controlled Packaging engineers regularly conduct tests on goods packed in our packaging in our ISTA Certificated Laboratory to provide packaging temperature and insulation validation, shock and vibration testing. This is to ensure our standards are kept and all products meet our exacting specifications.

Test Results

Our first test was aimed to determine the level of performance for our TCP Foam Shippers in the chilled foods packaging. We completed an ISTA accredited 48 hour test for the frozen and chilled shippers.

The material that formed the shipper was a TempGuard™ moulded cushion produced from TempGuard™ moulding foam.

The dimensions of the shipper were externally 432mm x 292mm x 232mm / internally 352mm x 212mm x 150mm.

The cooling agents used were 2 x frozen ice wrap sheets and bubble wrap phase change material.

Probes were inserted into the top middle and bottom of the shipper.

Test results showed that the chilled products performed well within guidelines starting at 2.6C and ending between 4.2C and 4.9C after the 48hour test. Please click here to see the graph.
