Nordic Ice Refrigerant Gel Packs

Nordic Ice refrigerant gel packs keep temperature-sensitive shipments and cold therapy needs within range, from perishable specimens and pharmaceuticals to home injuries. Each pack uses a non-toxic poly gel that freezes solid, holds cold longer than loose ice, and won't leak melt-water into your box or onto your skin. That combination makes them a staple for anyone shipping vaccines, biologics, or refrigerated food and for clinics stocking a freezer with reusable cold packs.

The line spans a full range of sizes so you can match the pack to the payload. The compact 8 oz. (NI8) and 12 oz. (NI12) packs slip into small parcels and lunch-style coolers, while the 16 oz. (NI16) and 24 oz. (NI24) packs are the workhorses for standard insulated shippers. The large 48 oz. (NI48) pack lines the base or walls of bigger boxes where you need extended hold time and more thermal mass.

A common question is how many packs a shipment needs — that depends on transit time, ambient temperature, and how much of the box the product occupies, but a good rule is to surround the payload on multiple sides and use larger packs for longer routes. Nordic Ice packs are reusable: simply refreeze between uses. They arrive dry and lightweight for storage, and are activated by freezing rather than shipping heavy pre-frozen.
