Applications

Gummy energy chews and vitamins have become very popular alternatives to chalky and hard-to-swallow tablets. But their sweet, soft texture makes them very susceptible to heat damage. No consumer wants to open a package to find a melted, blob of gel! Protecting these products from heat during transport is not only crucial for aesthetic reasons, it’s also a safety issue!

Heat can cause gummy energy chews and vitamins to degrade, making them less effective and potentially contaminated with harmful substances. When gummy energy chews and vitamins melt, they become sticky, gooey, and difficult to handle. Stuck-together blobs can confuse consumers into ingesting too much or too little of the active ingredients.

To protect gummy energy chews and vitamins during transport, insulated packaging and temperature-controlled shipping methods help maintain a consistent temperature and prevent exposure to high temperatures. Temperature-controlled/reefer units, by contrast, are expensive and experience capacity constraints.

Astro-Cooler’s Blankets and Pallet Covers serve as a safe, cost-effective alternative to reefers for shipping gummy products in summer. Our passive thermal protection significantly reduces severe temperature incursions and typically keeps the temperature under the blanket or pallet cover 20 to 25 degrees cooler than outside the cover.

Protecting gummy energy chews and vitamins from heat during transport is crucial to maintain their quality, safety, and effectiveness.
