Temperature controlled pouches

Insulated pouches for temperature-sensitive deliveries

Protect smaller temperature-sensitive products during storage and distribution with our range of insulated thermal pouches.

Designed for consignments that do not require a full insulated box, temperature controlled pouches provide a compact and lightweight way to add thermal protection around individual products or smaller orders.

Choose between foil insulated pouches and our natural wool insulated pouches depending on the level of thermal protection, materials and format your operation requires.

Foil temperature controlled pouches

Our foil thermal pouches provide a lightweight solution for chilled and temperature-sensitive goods.

Their reflective outer material helps reduce heat transfer, while the insulating internal layers provide both thermal protection and cushioning.

Each pouch features a convenient peel-and-seal closure for fast packing.

Standard foil pouches

Standard pouches combine a reflective BOPP outer layer with a 70-micron double-lined bubble layer.

The bubble construction traps air to provide insulation while also helping cushion products during handling and transit.

Premium foil pouches

For additional protection, premium pouches combine a metallised polyester outer with bubble insulation and an additional HDPE foam layer.

The extra foam provides increased insulation alongside good resistance to moisture and chemicals.

Wool insulated pouches

Our wool thermal pouches provide a natural alternative for businesses requiring higher-performance insulated packaging.

Made using pure wool felt within a recyclable MDPE liner, the insulation is flexible, effective and compostable after use.

When incorporated into an appropriate temperature-controlled packaging configuration, the wool range can help maintain products within 2–8°C for up to 48 hours.

Wool pouches are ideal for smaller chilled deliveries and can be combined with appropriately sized outer packaging and coolant.

When should I use an insulated pouch instead of a box liner?

Temperature controlled pouches are particularly suited to smaller or slimmer products that do not require the additional volume of a complete insulated carton.

They can help reduce the overall size and weight of your packaging while still creating an insulating layer around the product.

For larger consignments, multiple products or shipments requiring greater structural protection, an insulated box liner and corrugated carton may be more appropriate.

What can temperature controlled pouches be used for?

Insulated thermal pouches can be used to transport products including:

• Chilled food
• Meat and fish
• Dairy products
• Ingredients
• Food samples
• Pharmaceuticals
• Medical products
• Healthcare samples
• Cosmetics
• Other temperature-sensitive goods

Combine the pouch with an appropriate coolant and external package for your application.

Create a complete chilled packaging system

Insulation helps reduce the effect of changing external temperatures, while coolant provides the cooling energy required for chilled shipments.

Depending on your application, temperature controlled pouches can be paired with:

• Gel packs
• Water ice packs
• Ice sheets

The quantity and type required will depend on factors such as shipment duration, product temperature, ambient conditions and package size.

Always validate the complete packaging configuration for your intended use.

FAQs

What is a temperature controlled pouch?

A temperature controlled pouch is an insulated envelope-style package designed to reduce heat transfer around temperature-sensitive goods during storage or transport.

What types of thermal pouch does Kite Packaging sell?

Kite offers foil thermal pouches in standard and premium constructions alongside natural wool insulated pouches.

What is the difference between standard and premium foil pouches?

Standard foil pouches use reflective material with bubble insulation. Premium versions add an additional foam layer to increase insulation.

Are wool thermal pouches available?

Yes. Our wool insulated pouches use pure wool felt insulation contained within a recyclable MDPE liner.

Do insulated pouches need ice packs?

For chilled shipments, insulated pouches are normally used alongside a suitable coolant such as gel packs or ice sheets. The correct configuration should be determined by the required temperature and transit conditions.
