ShipCalm understands the importance of having accurate and safe cold chain logistics. Cold Chain logistics are the systems in which companies store, package, and ship perishable goods, ranging from anything from perishable foods like steaks to certain medications that require temperature-controlled facilities and shipping processes. Cold chain logistics require effective technologies and shipping processes that guarantee consumers receive their goods in a safe and timely manner. By properly understanding the many services ShipCalm offers that are available to e-commerce businesses, shipping cold items and perishables are simplified.

Cold Storage
Before an order is ever placed by a consumer, e-commerce businesses need to provide a safe, clean, and effective venue for their perishable goods. Having proper cold storage facilities is key to ensuring that e-commerce practices are approved by the FDA and other federal entities that require safe and healthy shipping practices of perishables. Temperature sensitivity is not something that should be taken lightly and can be easily affected by seasonal changes, product lifespans, and storage capabilities. ShipCalm can help e-commerce companies find the proper environment for their cold storage needs.
Cold Chain Packaging
Beyond the stage of finding proper warehousing for temperature-sensitive perishables, e-commerce businesses also need to consider packaging standards. As soon as perishable goods are removed from their storage facilities, perishables have a fixed amount of time before they are no longer safe to consume. Proper cold chain packaging allows goods to be shipped in a manner that keeps items at their required temperature and ensures consumers receive their items in their intended state. From kitting and assembly to using the correct materials, ShipCalm has a strong grasp on proper cold chain packaging.
