Is there an additional charge for using high-performance insulated containers (va-Q-tec)?

Yes, the use of high-performance insulated containers (va-Q-tec) is available as a paid option. The cost varies depending on the container size and the required temperature duration. We also offer the flexibility to use containers provided or owned by the customer.

Cold Chain Costs and Operational Flexibility

• Pricing Structure

  Fees are calculated based on the container size (Small, Medium, Large, etc.) required for the product volume and the specific temperature range (e.g., 2℃ to 8℃). We will provide a detailed breakdown of the optimal size and associated costs at the time of quotation.




• Customer-Provided Containers

  If you already have a contract with va-Q-tec or own your containers, you may send them to our facility or arrange for a container swap at our logistics hub. In such cases, no rental fees will be charged by us.




• The va-Q-tec Advantage

  These containers maintain a stable temperature for several days without an external power source. This makes them exceptionally effective for long-distance international transit or routes where there is a high risk of unforeseen customs delays.

Decision-Making Advice

• Balancing Cost and Risk: For shorter transit routes with fast delivery times, standard 'insulated packaging (disposable materials)' may be a more cost-effective alternative.

• Using Data Loggers: If you require a verified audit trail of the temperature throughout the journey, we recommend combining the va-Q-tec option with our temperature data logger service.
