Sharp Packaging Services is now offering the multi-use CRĒDO packaging solution to clients requiring temperature-controlled shipments. According to the company, the CRĒDO CUBE multi-use packaging system is smaller and lighter than traditional polystyrene and gel pack systems as well as being 100% recyclable. The CRĒDO packaging system is for controlled room temperature (15-25°C), refrigerated (2-8°C) and below freezing applications.
“Maintaining the desired temperature is key to meeting regulations and ensuring the safety of the product being shipped,” said Jeff Benedict, senior vice president, Global Business Development. “By switching to CRĒDO CUBE we can increase overall client satisfaction by reducing product destruction costs as well as the quality costs associated with investigations and CAPA’s that can result from temperature excursions. As a result of the extended duration available with Credo, we have the capability to offer clients Thursday or Friday shipments for delivery on Monday morning, still maintaining the desired temperature during transit. This was not always possible with prior shipping configurations.”
The CRĒDO CUBE incorporates a Thermal Isolation Chamber System with precision-formed, interconnected TIC panels encapsulating a phase change material (PCM) that surrounds and isolates the payload from temperature excursion with a tight, protective thermal seal for a pre-determined temperature range and duration. Vacuum insulation panels form a continuous barrier on all six sides of the modular shipping container, between the TIC System and the outer CRĒDO shipper.
Clients receiving a CRĒDO CUBE remove the vacuum insulated lid and the TIC lid from the package, take out the product box, replace the TIC lid and vacuum insulated lid in the CRĒDO CUBE, seal the outer box and apply the supplied return shipping label. The Sharp courier will return to pick up the CRĒDO 24-hours after delivery.
Sharp anticipates that the CRĒDO system will reduce its packaging inventory costs, improve operational efficiency and simplify Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
