Encased in a food-grade film, these fibers can breathe, creating a natural cooling system. When used with ice packs, Woolpack insulation has been proven to keep contents packed at 1°C chilled below 5°C for at least 48 hours. Pharma Protector and Pharma+ packaging have been scientifically proven to maintain pharmaceuticals within the critical 2°C - 8°C range for 24 to over 72 hours.

Yes, the natural washing and scouring process is free from chemical additives, ensuring the wool is sterilized without introducing toxic components. Sealing the liner inside recyclable or compostable film prevents fibers from contacting your products directly. There is no risk of Woolpack imparting a wool smell or tainting your products.
While Planet Protector has not conducted independent testing for frozen goods, multiple customers have tested and currently use the product for such purposes. As different products freeze differently, it's recommended to conduct your own testing on samples before integrating Woolpack into your frozen supply chain.
Yes, wool's elasticity and crimp factor provide cushioning and impact resistance, protecting goods during transit.
The wool in Woolpack liners is cleaned of all contaminants with high-pressure hot water and soap and is encased in a food-grade film, so there are no biosecurity issues when shipping products in Woolpack. Generally, you do not need to declare the composition of your packaging, only the contents of what you are shipping. If concerned, it's advisable to contact the destination country's postal regulations directly before sending packages.
Yes, printing is available for the standard box range, allowing customers to incorporate their own branding. The minimum order quantity for printed boxes is 1,000 units. For smaller clients, using custom stickers on the unprinted portion of the standard box design is an alternative.
Yes, Planet Protector offers a Woolpack information flyer to educate your customers, explaining what Woolpack is and how to dispose of its components without using landfill.
Woolpack cartons are delivered flat-packed. Liners arrive compressed in bundles; it's recommended to open them one hour before packing to allow them to return to their original thickness. Deliveries are primarily sent on pallets, but small bundles can be couriered if preferred.
