Robust temperature controlled packaging is a vital component of shipping highly sensitive products such as vaccines or drugs. Frozen or chilled packaging ensures items are kept within a specific temperature range to help preserve the quality and safety of a product.
Discover how Swiftpak can support your temperature controlled packaging requirements.
Temperature Indicators
Our temperature indicators are designed to monitor temperature and alert you if your products have been exposed to unacceptable temperatures by turning bright red in colour.
Stepped Foam
Not only can we design your packaging for you but we can also have it laboratory tested (ISTA certificated). The goal in designing bespoke packaging is to find a cost-effective solution and provide the most efficient package possible. while keeping your chemical, pharmaceutical and medical products safe if transit.
Paper Void Fill
The PAPERplus® Papillon is a machine that creates paper padding to protect packaged goods in small and medium-sized parcels. Almost any protective packaging problem can be solved efficiently with paper padding. The Papillon can help keep your pharmaceuticals safe if transit and ensure that your highly sensitive products arrive in peak condition.
Packaging labels
Pharmaceutical and chemical goods can be highly sensitive, so require correct labelling to ensure the safety of both handlers and consumers. View of extensive range of packaging labels from security labels, to UN hazard warning labels, impact labels and more.

FAQs: Pharmaceutical packaging
Swiftpak supplies secondary and tertiary packaging for pharmaceutical, biopharma, medical, laboratory and healthcare products. Solutions can include protective packaging, bespoke foam and corrugated designs, temperature-controlled packaging, tamper-evident products, security labels, temperature indicators and packaging for cleanroom environments.
Primary packaging is in direct contact with the product, such as a vial, bottle, blister pack or syringe. Secondary packaging protects and groups the primary packs. Tertiary packaging protects products during storage, handling and distribution, such as transit cartons, pallet packaging and protective shipping systems.
Swiftpak’s main area of expertise is secondary and tertiary pharmaceutical packaging.
Swiftpak primarily specialises in secondary and tertiary pharmaceutical packaging rather than packaging that directly contains a medicine or medical product. The team can help protect primary packs during handling, storage and transportation through protective, bespoke, temperature-controlled and transit packaging solutions.
The selection process should consider product sensitivity, temperature range, transit duration, handling points, contamination risks, product value, security, labelling, storage conditions and applicable regulatory requirements. The packaging should protect the product without introducing unnecessary material or operational complexity.
Yes. Swiftpak can develop bespoke packaging around the dimensions, fragility and transit requirements of sensitive pharmaceutical, laboratory and medical products. Options can include corrugated structures, protective inserts, foam components and multi-material solutions designed to limit movement and reduce the risk of damage.
Depending on the project, bespoke transit packaging can be assessed using laboratory testing based on recognised ISTA procedures. Testing may help evaluate how the packaging performs against hazards such as impact, vibration and compression. The required testing programme should be determined by the product owner and relevant quality teams.
Yes. Swiftpak supplies temperature-controlled packaging for temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical, biopharma and medical products. Available solutions include insulated packaging, gel packs, dry ice-related products and temperature indicators. The correct solution depends on the required temperature range, payload, journey duration and expected external conditions.
Swiftpak supplies packaging labels including tamper-evident labels, security labels, temperature indicators, impact indicators and hazard-warning labels. The appropriate labelling depends on the product, transport method and applicable regulations. Customers should confirm final regulatory and dangerous-goods labelling requirements with their compliance and logistics teams.
Pharmaceutical packaging can be improved by reducing unnecessary material, right-sizing transit packs, increasing recycled content where suitable, using responsibly sourced fibre and selecting recyclable components. Any environmental improvement must maintain product protection, quality, safety and regulatory performance.
Swiftpak can support customers with packaging selection, technical information and protective packaging design. However, the pharmaceutical or medical product owner remains responsible for validating that the complete packaging system meets all applicable product, quality, transport and regulatory requirements.
