Almac: Reusable shipper option

Almac’s Clinical Services business announced the addition of refrigerated reusable shippers to its portfolio for the management and global distribution of temperature-controlled clinical supplies. Available as an option to replace single-use shippers for refrigerated shipments, 2°C to 8°C, the reusable shippers can reduce shipping and storage costs while maintaining payload capacity.

This latest addition is complementary to a range of cold chain management solutions that include a global team of cold chain experts, a strategic depot network, more than 3,000 pallets of dedicated, refrigerated storage facilities, and a proprietary Shipping Temperature Electronic Monitoring System (STEMS) allowing for same-day temperature data.

Features of the reusable shippers include identical product space with a smaller overall volume than single-use shippers, thus reducing shipping and storage costs. In addition, the environmental impact caused by single-use shippers is virtually eliminated, and clients will benefit from the removal of tedious destruction processes often required with single-use shippers.
