Buy cooling elements — choose the right size
Cooling elements — also called freezer elements, gel cooling elements or hard cool packs — are essential for chilled shipping or temporarily cooling products such as food, medicines or temperature-sensitive goods. At Cooled Solutions you can choose from 200g, 400g and 750g cooling elements, ideal for various applications and shipping periods. All available directly from stock, reusable and leak-free.
Comparing cooling elements: weight & application
200 gram — for small parcels
Suitable for small parcels and short transports. Ideal for e-commerce shipments of pharma products, small meal boxes or fish fillets.
400 gram — the standard
Standard shipments and medium-sized packaging. Best-selling size — perfect for regular food and pharma shipments with standardised cooling time.
750 gram — large cooling elements for large shipments
Larger packaging and longer running times. These large cooling elements are ideal for pallet-level cooling, frozen transport and multi-day shipments.
How do you use cooling elements?
Fully freeze cooling elements in advance in the freezer, so they can hold maximum cold. After freezing, place them together with the product in the insulating packaging or cool box. The combination of good insulation and sufficient cooling capacity determines how long your products stay at the right temperature.
Cooling elements are perfectly suited for passive temperature control — ideal when active cooling (such as electric cooling units) is not an option. With the right cooling elements and EPS insulation, you maintain safe temperature zones during transport and storage.
Advantages over gel packs
Professional use: In professional environments, hard cooling elements are used more often than gel packs. Companies choose them because they perform more reliably and consistently with regular transport. Where gel packs are mainly handy for single use, cooling elements prove themselves in daily logistics processes.
Sturdy construction: Hard plastic housing instead of a flexible film bag. The risk of tearing or leaking is virtually nil, even with rough transport or repeated dropping. Ideal for situations in which parcels are moved or stacked a lot.
Sustainability and reuse: Thanks to the robust design, cooling elements last much longer than gel packs. You can reuse them hundreds of times without loss of quality. This saves costs in the long term and means less waste.
Long-lasting cooling performance: Depending on the application and the insulation used, cooling elements can provide constant cooling for between 24 and 72 hours. This long-lasting cooling capacity is highly valuable for multi-day transports or international shipments.
