GREENVILLE, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lifoam Industries, LLC (Lifoam), a business segment and subsidiary of LifeMade Products LLC (LifeMade), applies its decades of cold chain packaging expertise to provide temperature-controlled solutions designed to meet the ultra-cold and other required shipping temperatures required for the COVID-19 vaccines.

Lifoam is a trusted partner for thermally controlled packaging for the healthcare industry, and offers solutions that are tested, qualified, and ready for quick turnaround production. The company offers multiple options, including EPS dry ice shipping containers, ePUR™ temporary vaccine storage containers, sustainable EPS containers made with biodegradable technology, and portable refrigerated storage.
“Pharmaceutical companies have worked tirelessly over the past 12 months to create life-saving vaccines, now it’s the job of Lifoam and others to share in the responsibility of delivering them safely,” said Mark Gettig, President of LifeMade. “Our COVID task force has been working diligently with vendors, partners, and distributors to address the critical and complex packaging needs. We’ve increased our capacity to supply vaccine manufacturers and their distributors with the packaging they need to quickly and safely transport COVID-19 vaccines,” he added.
Built to specific performance standards, Lifoam solutions are efficient and not overbuilt. Its series of dry ice-based -70°C shipping containers and PCM-based -20°C meet the extreme temperature requirements of the current vaccines.

“We have ready-made solutions that are proven and reliable for vaccine distribution, and we can work with pharmaceutical companies to custom engineer a solution for special payload sizes and other requirements utilizing our proven technologies and in-house ISTA-certified test facilities, while also maintaining a dedication to sustainability,” Gettig said.
