If you prefer to discuss with us in person, do not hesitate to contact our sales team<\/a> who will be happy to provide you with information.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs style=”modern” color=”turquoise” active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section title=”Isovation ?” tab_id=”1658206787462-ce220cd9-764b”][vc_toggle title=”About us !”]ISOVATION is a company created in Avignon in 1990. We are experts in cold chain management. What does it mean? This means that our job is to understand the challenges and constraints of our customers to imagine iso<\/strong>thermal solutions with innovation<\/strong>. We work with respect for your products and your constraints, taking into consideration the human challenges of your organizations.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Where are the products made ?”]Our products are designed, tested, manufactured and assembled exclusively in France, at our production plant in Avignon. ISOVATION is above all men and women who have accumulated 170 years of know-how and experience in all sectors of activity and all sizes of companies.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What types of products are our solutions designed for ?”]We design and manufacture solutions for transporting all heat-sensitive products: food, medical, living materials, etc. For all types of transport. ISOVATION made a very early commitment to energy sobriety by optimizing its production chain, its discharges and by being the first player to imagine solutions that can be delivered flat, to save space and fuel. We continue to lead the way in these areas by imagining recyclable or biosourced solutions and by participating in the establishment of waste treatment subsidiaries. We also work with our customers to audit their needs, train their staff and offer them the most suitable solutions and help them set up efficient processes for using and processing our solutions.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Insulated packaging” tab_id=”1648031209090-5ebbf142-03a3″][vc_toggle title=”What is self-contained insulated packaging ?”]Autonomous insulated packaging makes it possible to maintain the temperature of a product throughout transport without any external energy source. No need to plug it in or put it in a “cool” environment. It is designed to pass through a so-called “dry” transport: in a conventional truck. It is designed to withstand very hot and very cold temperatures, it will keep your products within the desired temperature range.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”How to choose your insulated packaging ?”]Isothermal packaging is determined according to the use that will be made of it. Generally, the input elements are the duration of transport, the temperature to be maintained in the packaging and the shipping season, this determines the difference between the temperature of the product and the temperature outside.<\/p>\n Depending on these elements, a thin packaging for a short duration or a high-performance packaging to meet a demanding need for several days.<\/p>\n Our sales team<\/a> will be able to guide you and our design office<\/a> will be able to design a tailor-made solution for you.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What are the criteria for choosing insulated packaging ?”]In terms of thermal performance, the criteria will be the duration of transport, the type of product to be transported, the temperature of the product to be maintained, the outside temperature (weather), the need for NFS99700 validated packaging.<\/p>\n Other parameters come into play beyond thermal performance, such as aesthetics and customization: material color, printing. Find some examples of boxes printed on metallic or white boxes on this page<\/a>.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What insulated packaging for food\/medicine\/ice\/vaccine\/post\/shipping ?”]Beyond the performance of insulated packaging, there may be characteristics related to the product to be transported: A box intended to be shipped in e-commerce will not have the same type of closure (secure) as a box pastry intended to be handed over to the customer. To ship a vaccine, we will focus on performance and ergonomics of use. (insertion of cold blocks, handling of the product, strict compliance with the cold chain).<\/p>\n Each sector of activity has its own expectations and constraints to which we have been responding for more than 30 years. Contact us!<\/a><\/p>\n Contactez-nous !<\/a>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What insulation for insulated packaging ?”]The choice of insulation depends on the performance needed to meet your needs. The longer the transport time, the greater the difference between the temperature of the transported product and the outside temperature, the better the insulation will have to perform. For an insulator to be efficient, it is necessary to increase its thickness and\/or increase its insulating power.<\/p>\n For the last kilometer, we generally recommend a box in 3\/4\/5\/10mm isostrat<\/a>, delivered flat.<\/p>\n For durations exceeding 24 to 36 hours, we recommend the addition of XPS type insulation<\/a> (extruded polystyrene, expanded) which comes in the form of panels that can be delivered flat.<\/p>\n Since 2021, we have been developing a range of biosourced insulation<\/a> made from rice straw and hemp, also available flat, which can respond to different types of problems by combining performance and respect for our planet.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”The use and performance of our packaging” tab_id=”1648031209105-26a88ef7-3390″][vc_toggle title=”Should we favor the thickness of insulation or the quantity of icepack ?” color=”turquoise”]The ratio between insulation thickness and amount of icepack should be “logical”.<\/p>\n A house cannot do without heating or air conditioning despite the good insulation of its walls. Nor can it rely solely on heating or air conditioning to obtain an optimal indoor temperature.<\/p>\n An isothermal solution must be optimized: The correct insulation thickness\/cold load ratio must be determined to obtain an economically viable product that provides sufficient thermal performance.<\/p>\n Trust our expertise, our sales team<\/a> will be able to direct you to the most viable solution and our design office<\/a> will be able to design a tailor-made solution for you.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”If my thermal packaging isn’t working, what can I do ?”]There’s no insulated bag that doesn’t work! There is often an insulated packaging that is not used as it should be, or an insulated packaging that is not adapted to the need. From the person who buys the packaging to the end user, the chain is often long. This chain must be known and mastered.<\/p>\n Each person involved, each link in this chain must be trained in the preparation, use and management of this insulated packaging.<\/p>\n We support our customers in knowing their cold chain. We propose to make together an inventory of your internal functioning and your needs in isothermal packaging.<\/p>\n Together, we determine the need, we determine the appropriate packaging<\/a>, we validate<\/a> the packaging in our climatic chambers and in the “real” circuit, we record the temperatures in real time on the real journeys, and can then readjust the packaging performance. We help you have insulated packaging that works![\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Are our boxes single-use or reusable ?”]Both ! Some of our boxes are intended for the end user: for example, packaging shipped via e-commerce, or a pastry log box. The consumer can give free rein to his imagination to find a second life for it, otherwise throw it into the appropriate sorting circuit.<\/p>\n On the other hand, some of our boxes intended for the pharmaceutical or food industry sectors may be affected by reuse or the installation of “rotation” systems, and therefore reuse. Some of our references allow it, it is a decisive input data in the choice of the isothermal solution that we are going to offer you. Trust us ![\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Are our packaging waterproof ?”]Some of our solutions are waterproof, others are not. These are elements to be taken into account when drawing up the specifications in order to offer you the optimal isothermal packaging solution.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Are our raw materials sourced in France ?”]The raw materials used in the manufacture of our insulated packaging are sourced in France:<\/p>\n [\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Validation according to the NFS99700 standard, what is it ?”]The NF S99 700 standard is an AFNOR standard for qualifying the performance of insulated packaging. This standard provides a framework for a test protocol: number of temperature probes, outdoor temperature profile, equipment to be used and associated metrology (climate chambers, recording probes).<\/p>\n We carry out tests based on this standard, and also carry out tests according to the constraints of the specifications of our customers.
