Vacuum Insulated Coolers & Shipping Boxes
Key Facts
- Holds +2…+8 °C for up to 96–120 hours with PCM packs
- Profiles for frozen (−25…−15 °C), chilled (+2…+8 °C) and CRT (+15…+25 °C)
- Payload volumes from 4 L parcel shippers to 1,000 L pallet shippers
- Up to 40% more payload than EPS boxes with the same external size
- Reusable: replaceable VIP walls and PCM sets lower cost per shipment
A vacuum insulated cooler replaces thick EPS or PU walls with vacuum insulation panels, cutting heat leakage by a factor of 5–10. The result: multi-day temperature holding in a box that is lighter and has up to 40% more payload volume for the same external footprint.
Supertech builds passive cold-chain systems around its own VIP production — from 4-liter parcel shippers for specialty pharmaceuticals to 1,000-liter pallet shippers — combined with matched PCM (phase change material) sets for frozen, chilled (+2…+8 °C) and controlled room temperature (+15…+25 °C) profiles.
Built for validated cold chains
Multi-day autonomy without power
VIP walls at ≤ 2.0 mW/(m·K) plus engineered PCM loading keep payloads at +2…+8 °C for up to five days — covering customs delays and last-mile exceptions that break single-day EPS packaging.
Thermally engineered, lab tested
Each configuration is qualified in our thermal test lab against summer and winter ambient profiles (ISTA-7D-style), with test reports available to support your qualification dossier.
More payload, less freight
Because 15 mm of VIP replaces 60+ mm of foam, a vacuum insulated cooler carries up to 40% more product in the same dimensional-weight bracket — directly reducing cost per dose or per kilogram shipped.
Reusable system economics
Boxes are designed for multi-trip use with replaceable VIP wall sets and PCM packs, supporting both single-use and rental/return logistics models.
