There are more than a dozen vaccine candidates that have reached phase 3 clinical trials, but not all of them will be released commercially. Many more vaccines are still in the early testing phases and they are currently being tested on animals. Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines are the likeliest candidates. Both are based on mRNA approach. Moderna’s vaccine could be stored in regular fridge for a month or freezers for six months.

Cold Chain Packing & Logistics provides logistics for pharmaceutical companies through state of the art, compliant, temperature-controlled storage facilities and transportation. We are committed to ensuring our clients’  temperature-controlled storage and shipping needs are met globally, whether it is by utilising our qualified packaging solutions or our live monitoring devices for temperature and location reporting throughout your supply chain, we have it covered.

The cost of the logistics is reduced remarkably since VPU box costs much less than other insulating materials. Insulation is an important part of maintaining low temperature. The weight of the package is reduced drastically as VPU foams are lightweight as compared to their volume. 

Laminated VPU vacuum insulated panel temperature controlled cold chain packaging, with patented interlocking PCM technology, to adopt Integrated molding technology to achieve high insulation performance up to 96 hours and save transportation cost.
