Why we exist

Building the future of sustainable performance.

Developing and scaling materials that protect products and the planet.

Packaging shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. For decades, industries have relied on materials like EPS foam because they worked—until they didn’t. The materials that once solved a problem have become one: costly, wasteful, and impossible to justify in a world that demands better.

TemperPack exists to prove that sustainable packaging doesn’t mean compromise. We engineer solutions that protect products, meet compliance standards, and eliminate unnecessary waste—for good.

Our journey

From a kitchen-table idea to an industry leader.

TemperPack began with a simple question: What if we could protect perishable shipments without plastic foam?

In 2015, that question sparked a breakthrough—combining materials science and practical engineering to create our first plant-based insulation.

What started as a small experiment evolved into a full scale innovation engine, redesigning and testing protective, on-demand systems for the world’s most demanding shipping industries.  

Today, our solutions protect millions of shipments each year—-everything from frozen meals to vaccines— keeping customers happy and waste out of landfills.

Packaging manufacturing
What sets us apart

Built different, by design.

Science. Scale. Proof.

We combine what others still can’t: performance, sustainability, and real-world execution.

Our in-house ISTA® lab, proprietary materials like ClimaCell® and Green Cell Foam®, and on-demand platforms like WaveKraft® let us develop, prove, and optimize solutions other suppliers can’t.

With three ISO 9001:2105-certified production facilities, a team of scientists and engineers, and proven track records across industries, we don’t just promise better packaging—we deliver it.

The people behind the progress

Leadership obsessed with packaging progress.

In their words

Real results.
Real partnerships.

TemperPack is proactive about new products and new sustainability efforts. As a customer, it means I don’t have to bring all the ideas.

Testing icing configurations was extremely helpful and a great collaborative process.

The quality is better. They’re one of the most reliable sources for insulation.

TemperPack listens and finds the solution that works best for everybody. No other company does that.

I think TemperPack’s sales and engineering team really understands what customers need. Other companies aren't as sophisticated.

Work with purpose.

Join us in building a world without wasteful packaging.
