The TempEndure® SolutionThe complete solution for your temperature sensitive packaging.

The problem.

Most thermally-dependent packaging solutions are ineffective and have serious performance issues over time.

E R N E S T P A C K A G I N G S O L U T I O N S : T E M P E N D U R E 0 2

The risk.When temperature sensitive products

are not packaged properly, the

consequences to your reputation,

your operations and your bottom line

can be signifi cant.

Temperature sensitive products come in all shapes and sizes—from perishable foods

to expensive medical supplies, from human organs to delicate plants and fl owers.

Each product type presents unique and complex temperature control challenges requiring

precise temperature conditions. Using off-the-shelf components to package and ship

these products may seem like a cost-effective solution, but it puts you at serious risk.

If the products are not packaged properly, you can experience product losses and

potential liability. Add to that the expense of labor-intensive packing and additional freight

charges, and in the end that “cost-effective” thermal solution ends up increasing costs

and introducing unnecessary expense.

The solution.TempEndure is a unique, and patented system for developing thermally

protected packaging offered exclusively through Ernest Packaging Solutions.

TempEndure enables us to create a more effi cient package from both a temperature

and environmental perspective. Each package is customized for the unique needs of

the product it protects. It takes into account specifi c ambient conditions, temperature

parameters, transit distances and duration, as well as materials and design requirements.

Ultimately, we create a custom temperature controlled package that uses fewer materials

(saving you on materials), offers a smaller footprint (helping lower shipping costs), and

provides enhanced product protection (reducing risk). It all adds up to a better solution.

Patented gel

system deliver

optimal cooling.

Our approach.TempEndure combines insight from

experts on temperature sensitive

packaging with technically advanced

materials and rigorous testing.

TempEndure leverages the expertise of senior consultants who engineer a custom solution

using our superior packaging components and validate it through third-party testing.

More than just superior materials, TempEndure solutions offer you access to industry

expertise and extensive testing. Our highly experienced packaging experts apply

industry best practices but recognize that every product has distinct needs and different

challenges. With TempEndure, you get a packaging confi guration engineered specifi cally

for your product. Each design undergoes extensive in-house testing as well as third-party

validation. And ultimately, that adds up to a solution that works more consistently and

for longer.

Our process.We have developed a sophisticated

methodology that enables us to

develop extremely effective solutions

to temperature sensitive packaging

challenges. Every time.

From our initial in-depth needs evaluation through testing of the fi nal packaging solution,

we take a methodical, step-by-step approach to ensure greater effectiveness.

Our collaborative process begins by meeting with our clients to confi rm all the necessary

temperature requirements, specifi cations, transit conditions and target costs. Next, our

experts will evaluate the situation and start developing a variety of solutions taking into

account our vast knowledge of the industry’s best practices. Once we feel that we’ve

engineered the best possible solution, we will pre-test to confi rm the performance

expectations. We document the entire process and will engage a third party testing facility,

if necessary. As a result, the TempEndure methodology ensures that your products will

arrive to their destination in the condition you specifi ed.
