Frequently Asked Questions
Basic Questions About UniHeat Packs
New to cold-weather shipping? These quick answers help explain how UniHeat packs work and how to choose the right duration.
How do UniHeat packs work?
UniHeat packs are air-activated. Once opened, they begin warming as oxygen reaches the pack, so airflow inside the package is important.
Which heat pack duration should I choose?
Choose based on expected transit time, weather, insulation, and product sensitivity. Shorter shipments may use 40 hour packs, while longer or colder shipments may need 72 or 96 hour packs.
Do heat packs replace insulation?
No. Heat packs work best as part of a complete winter shipping setup that includes insulation, proper box sizing, airflow, and realistic transit planning.
What can UniHeat packs be used for?
They are commonly used for plants, beverages, reptiles, fish, coral, insects, foods, cosmetics, and other temperature-sensitive shipments.
