In today’s world, doing well and doing good are no longer at odds. We started TemperPack to make great packaging products that leave an impression on the people who use them. Whether it's a fresh e-commerce food delivery or a monthly shipment of biologic drugs, we feel that consumers deserve smarter solutions than generic plastic foam coolers. To do this, we focus on design-forward approaches to merging sustainability and functionality for clients that ship time-sensitive materials.
The rise of the both food and pharmaceutical deliveries is one of the fastest growing shipping markets, and with that comes a lot of waste. We’re looking to makea dent in that.
