Shipping cheese abroad

Many medicines are shipped abroad from the Netherlands every year. Medicines are temperature-sensitive products. Sending medicines abroad should therefore be done with great care and caution.

When medicines are stored or shipped incorrectly, the active substance of medicines can be affected. In the Netherlands, the Healthcare and Youth Inspectorate monitors the quality of medicines. When sending medicines abroad, the rules for storage and transport of medicines must be followed. To comply with the prescribed transport conditions, it is important to use suitable equipment.

Shipping medicines in cooled state

Suitable equipment will ensure that medicines remain at the right temperature continuously during shipment abroad. By deploying cooling elements, you will be able to guarantee a continuous temperature while sending medicines. For most medicines, they should be kept at a temperature between 2 and 8 degrees. Icepacks can keep products at a constant temperature between 0 and 8 degrees. This cooling elements are therefore very suitable to use when sending medicines abroad under refrigeration. When one cooling elements used when shipping medicines, it is important to place the cooling elements in such a way that they do not come into direct contact with the medicines.

Drugs protect against external factors

Furthermore, the regulations surrounding the quality of medicines include that medicines must be protected from the influence of light, temperature and humidity. This is because these external factors can have a harmful effect on the quality and function of medicines. By using insulating packaging material, you protect medicines from these external factors. You can pack medicines with EPS boxes. EPS is material insensitive to Uv-radiation and moisture. This allows EPS boxes protection against the influence of light and humidity. In addition, EPS boxes have an insulating effect, protecting medicines from the influence of external temperatures during shipping. Another option for insulating medicine packaging is the TempGuard box. The material of this box insulates in a similar way to the material of an EPS box. By using insulated packaging boxessuch as the EPS box or the TempGuard box, you ensure that medicines retain their quality during shipping. That way, you contribute to the health of the people and animals for whom the medicines are intended. But with the TempGuard box, you do more than that. The TempGuard box consists of insulating sheets made of 100% recycled paper. The use of the TempGuard box is therefore good for humans and animals, as well as the environment!
