DS Smith launches TailorTemp®

DS Smith has confirmed the launch of TailorTemp®, the latest innovation within temperature-controlled packaging for the pharmaceutical industry.

TailorTemp® packaging solution has been designed to support the sustainability targets of pharmaceutical and biotech businesses, meeting their need to store and transport delicate medicinal products across multiple territories within rigorously controlled temperature environments.

TailorTemp® is created from corrugated cardboard-based material that is recyclable. The dimensions, insulating thickness, and coolant quantity are determined using a computer-based parametric algorithm which has been co-developed by DS Smith in partnership with an independent laboratory specialising in thermal transfers. Designers can then use the outcomes of the modelling tool to fast-track prototyping and validate solutions in real conditions.

DS Smith has been able to demonstrate that this packaging solution can stay cool for up to thirty-six hours. The DS Smith component of the TailorTemp® packaging solution, comprising an outer box and the insulant materials, is fully recyclable and 100% plastic-free, representing a sustainable alternative to Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) for the packaging needs of pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
