Shield Your Temperature-Sensitive Shipments
Protect Your Products
with Cold Chain Package Testing
Elevate Your Temperature-Controlled Shipping
From life-saving vaccines to perishable foods, temperature-sensitive products are routinely shipped worldwide. This means maintaining the cold chain isn’t only a logistical challenge, but a critical necessity.
Thermal transport package testing offers a comprehensive solution to the critical challenge of maintaining product integrity during shipping. Guided by ISTA 7E protocols, thermal transport package testing helps ensure compliance with the FDA, optimizes cold chain logistics, and reduces the risk of product loss.
What is Cold Chain Package Testing?
Cold chain package testing is a critical step in meeting regulatory requirements, ensuring that your product’s temperature is supported, as labeled, for the duration of the shipping process. Not keeping the correct holding temperature for consumer products can lead to a slew of product safety and integrity issues including textural degradation, changes in physical appearance, or microbial growth.

Cold Chain Packaging: Key Industries
Cold chain validation ensures that packaging meets the minimum performance requirements for maintaining the product within the desired temperature range from the time of packaging until it reaches its destination. This makes it critical for industries that manufacture temperature-sensitive goods.
Pharmaceuticals
Pharma products lose their efficacy in extreme temperatures. Testing helps ensure the safety of vaccines and biologics during shipping.
Medical Devices
Thermal transport package testing protects sensitive equipment and sterile components from temperature-related damage.
ISTA 7E: The Standard for Cold Chain Package Testing
At Purple Diamond, we provide ISTA 7E testing as part of our cold chain validation services, ensuring that your packaging solutions maintain the required temperature range from packing to final delivery. This thermal package test is a comprehensive simulation designed to assess how well packaged products withstand external temperature fluctuations during small parcel shipping. By simulating real-world temperature and humidity changes during transit, ISTA 7E evaluates whether packaging can protect its contents from harmful temperature excursions.
The ISTA 7E standard has been developed to ensure consistent and reliable performance of insulated shipping containers so that professionals in the industry can trust that their product quality, consumer safety, and brand reputation are safeguarded.
Obtaining ISTA 7E Certification
To gain a competitive edge and demonstrate their commitment to quality, manufacturers can pursue ISTA 7E certification by passing the following tests.
Design Testing
Confirming whether the package design meets ISTA 7E requirements.
Thermal Qualification
Verifies accuracy and repeatability.
Physical Qualification
Ensures package integrity maintains thermal performance.
Qualification Verification
Confirms whether the lab results are repeatable.
