How to Properly Package and Ship a Kangaroo Mailer
Around 11% of all goods arrive damaged at distribution centers. When you’re shipping pharmaceuticals, the cost of this can be significant. Ensuring you have the right solutions for the right products is important.
However, you also want to make sure that you’re saving money. The Kangaroo Mailer from TSS is the perfect pharmaceutical shipping solution for this very reason.
These specialized shipping envelopes offer thermal packaging that protects your products and saves you money. How? Keep reading to learn about Kangaroo Mailers and how to prepare them for shipping.
Kangaroo Mailers for Pharmaceutical Shipping
Kangaroo Mailers offer optimal protection for pharmaceutical shipments because they are packaging solutions designed for this purpose. These mailers feature a unique design with multiple layers of insulation, ensuring temperature control throughout shipping.
Their ability to maintain strict temperature control during transit sets Kangaroo Mailers apart from traditional packaging options. With advanced insulation materials, these mailers create a thermal barrier that protects against extreme temperatures — both hot and cold.
Kangaroo Mailer Uses
Kangaroo Mailers are versatile packaging solutions that have a wide range of uses in the pharmaceutical industry. We specifically design these mailers to transport temperature-sensitive medications safely. This helps ensure that they arrive at their destination in optimal condition.
They’re great for the following uses and more:
- Shipping envelopes
- Pharmaceutical shipment
- Medical transport
- Temperature sensitive shipping
- Vaccine transport
- Biologics shipping
- Medication shipping
- Thermal shipping
- Pharma product protection
- Medicine transport
Benefits of Using a Kangaroo Mailer
Special mailers protect sensitive medications and healthcare products during shipping, providing optimal protection. Using a Kangaroo Mailer helps pharmaceutical companies ensure product integrity and comply with industry regulations, making it an effective solution.
In addition, using a Kangaroo Mailer for pharmaceutical shipping can offer many other benefits. These include some of the following:
- Optimal protection for pharmaceutical supplies
- Sustainable shipping
- Cost-effective shipping
- Reusable packaging
- Drug temperature control
- Efficient pharma shipping
Kangaroo Mailers vs. Other Options
Using a Kangaroo Mailer for pharmaceutical packaging offers distinct advantages. However, how do they stack up against other pharmaceutical solutions for shipping?
Cardboard Boxes
Let’s compare Kangaroo Mailers with traditional cardboard boxes. While people commonly use boxes for shipping, Kangaroo Mailers provide insulation and protection that boxes lack.
EPS Cooler
Another alternative worth considering is EPS coolers (expanded polystyrene). An EPS cooler does offer good insulation properties. However, it can be bulky and take up more storage space compared to compact Kangaroo Mailers.
An EPS cooler is around 87% larger than a Kangaroo Mailer. Additionally, EPS coolers require separate coolant packs or ice packs, which can drive up costs.
Styrofoam Containers
Styrofoam containers are another option for pharmaceutical shipping. These containers offer decent insulation capabilities, similar to EPS coolers. However, they are not environmentally friendly due to their non-biodegradable nature.
How Can Kangaroo Mailers Save Pharma Money?
Kangaroo Mailers can cut your shipping costs in half. How do they save you money when it comes to pharma logistics?
Let’s explore how these innovative pharma packaging solutions can help pharmaceutical companies cut costs.
Thermal Insulation
Kangaroo Mailers provide excellent insulation and temperature control. With this thermal packaging, you can ensure that temperature-sensitive medications stay in the required range during transit. This can eliminate the need for expensive cold chain logistics, saving pharma companies significant money.
Lightweight and Compact
Traditional cold chain packaging options, like a medical cooler, can be bulky. They take up valuable space in transportation vehicles.
Kangaroo Mailers are slim and easy to stack. This enables you to ship more products in a single shipment. You can condense one truckload to three pallets with these shipping envelopes.
Reduce Waste Management Expenses With Eco-Friendly Shipping
These mailers consist of recyclable materials that people can reuse or easily dispose of without harming the environment. By using eco-friendly packaging solutions, pharma companies demonstrate their commitment to sustainability. In addition, companies can reduce waste management expenses.
Reduced Returns
Proper packaging with Kangaroo Mailer ensures fewer product returns due to damage during transit. The robust design provides cushioning against impact. It also prevents breakage or spoilage of specialty pharmaceuticals.
With fewer returns and replacements necessary, pharma companies save on product loss and additional shipping costs.
How to Pack and Ship a Kangaroo Mailer
Packing and shipping a Kangaroo Mailer is a straightforward process. Ensuring you do it correctly protects your pharmaceutical products during transit. Follow these simple steps to properly pack and ship your Kangaroo Mailer for drug or vaccine distribution.
Prepare the Mailer
- Wrap It Up. Place your pharmaceutical products securely inside the mailer. This will help with ensuring they are well-protected from shifting during transportation. Use bubble wrap or packing peanuts to provide extra cushioning and medication protection.
- Seal It Tight. Once you safely pack your items inside the mailer, close all flaps tightly and secure them with strong packaging tape. Double-check that there are no gaps or openings where moisture or contaminants could enter.
- Pierce It. To activate your Kangaroo Mailer, simply pierce it. This will allow it to expand and create a form-fitting enclosure for pharmaceutical cold storage that minimizes waste.
