Use
Kraft cold gel packs are intended for heat-sensitive products to guarantee the maintenance of the cold chain in different contexts:
- For isothermal packaging and bags.
- For our COLD & CO packaging such as Fresh Paper Pack or Fresh Box and Fresh Box Plus packages.
- Our isothermal shipping envelopes, cotton or self-inflating version.
In the age of online ordering, it’s important to have packaging that performs well from a thermal point of view – but it must also be the right cold! Indeed, home deliveries of perishable foodstuffs oblige producers, craftsmen and other food trades to be vigilant as to the good progress; To do this, the weight of the eco-responsible Kraft packs must be adapted to the products.
To be sure to make the best choice of cold packs for your project, we advise you to contact our teams. They will guide you and answer your questions.
Instructions of use
In order to make the best use of our Kraft cold packs, it is necessary to follow a certain process of use. First of all, the cold accumulator must be placed in the freezer for a minimum of 24 hours. It is also recommended to place the Kraft cold packs horizontally in the freezer, no matter if it is the 100g, 300g or 500g cold pack.
When you want to freeze several at once, we suggest you space the cold gels so that the air can circulate and make sure that the cold accumulators are not wet so that they do not stick to each other. The eutectic gel inside the accumulator will then solidify and store cold. Once this is done, all you have to do is place the cold pack inside your container or insulated bag with your heat-sensitive products.

Lifespan and Maintenance Advice
The flexible kraft gel is recommended for economical single use. It can however be reused over several freezing/cold return cycles if the conditions of use allow it. It is however necessary to take care of it :
- Store your flexible kraft gels in a clean and dry place.
- Limit the drops of your flexible kraft gels especially after freezing.
- Do not expose your flexible kraft gels to extreme temperatures above +50°C or below -45°C.
- Do not pierce or cut your flexible kraft gels with a containing object.
- Do not wash your flexible kraft gels in the dishwasher.
- Do not ingest: The liquid contained in the gel is not toxic, but it should not be consumed. In case of accidental contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with clear water.
- Disposal in case of a leak: If the gel is pierced, do not use it anymore. The liquid can be wiped with a cloth and washed with soapy water.
- Even in the absence of toxicity, the gel remains a liquid waste not assimilable to conventional wastewater. Its release in pipes can disrupt the operation of treatment plants, which are not designed to handle this type of substance. In addition, the gel can cause blockages in pipes, especially if it is thrown away in large quantities or repeatedly.
- Here are our recommendations:
- Place the bag and its contents in the regular household waste. The gel being non-dangerous, it does not require specific treatment.
- If you separate the gel from the bag, you can throw the bag in the recycling channel and the gel into your household garbage bin.
In case of doubt about proper disposal, refer to the selective sorting instructions for your region or contact the waste management service of your municipality.
