What is the cold shipping package provided by FedEx?
The cold shipping package provided by FedEx is a patented, controlled-temperature packaging system for shipping sensitive products.
The packaging technology (developed by NanoCool) uses a special cooling device to evaporate water over time,
maintaining a constant 2-8°C environment inside the package for up to 96 hours.
How do I activate the NanoCool cooling device?
One of the features of the NanoCool controlled-temperature packaging system is an on-demand capability.
By simply pushing the actuator button, the system starts to cool — no need for ice packs, freezers or pre-freezing.
Pack-outs have never been easier!
Instructions: English French
How long does it take the evaporator to cool down to a refrigerated temperature?
The evaporator area of the NanoCool shipping system will typically cool from ambient to 4°C in less than five minutes.
How can I tell if the device is cooling?
Around 20 seconds after activating the device, as the unit starts to cool,
a thermal-chromic ink label on the NanoCool evaporator surface begins turning blue to indicate the device is working.
