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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can a vacuum insulated cooler keep +2…+8 °C?

Depending on box volume, PCM loading and the ambient profile, Supertech vacuum insulated shippers hold +2…+8 °C for 72 to 120 hours. A 50 L parcel shipper with a full PCM set typically qualifies for 96 h against an ISTA-7D-style summer profile.

What is the advantage over EPS or PU foam boxes?

VIP walls conduct 5–10× less heat than foam. In practice that means multi-day holding instead of 24–48 h, roughly 40% more payload volume in the same external size, and lower dimensional-weight freight cost per unit shipped.

Are the coolers reusable?

Yes. The outer shell, VIP wall set and PCM packs are separable components. Worn parts can be replaced individually, which makes the system suitable for closed-loop or rental cold-chain programs and significantly lowers cost per shipment.

Can you build a custom size for our product?

Yes. We regularly develop custom shippers around a customer’s secondary packaging — send payload dimensions, required holding time and lane profile, and our engineers will propose a validated configuration with test data.
