Description
The 72-hour shipping heat pack is designed to provide an additional source of warmth during the transport of plants, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates and other cold-sensitive organisms.
Especially useful during winter or longer journeys, it is activated by exposure to air and gradually releases heat for up to approximately 72 hours.
Sold individually, it allows thermal protection to be adapted precisely to parcel size, outside temperature and the sensitivity of the transported contents.
Pack size
1 × 72-hour heat pack
Use
This heat pack is intended for use inside a properly insulated package to help reduce sudden temperature drops during transport.
It may be used when transporting:
- Tropical plants
- Bromeliads
- Aroids
- Orchids
- Cuttings and young plants
- Reptiles
- Amphibians
- Invertebrates
- Other organisms sensitive to low temperatures
Heating duration
The heat pack is designed to release heat for up to approximately 72 hours.
Actual duration and heat output may vary depending on outside temperature, insulation quality, available airflow and general transport conditions.
Air activated
The heat pack begins to work once its sealed outer packaging is opened and it is exposed to air.
It is recommended to open it a few minutes before sealing the parcel so that the heating reaction can begin properly.
Cold protection
This heat pack does not regulate parcel temperature like a thermostatically controlled heater. It provides a gradual source of additional warmth intended to help limit temperature drops during transit.
For best performance, it should always be used together with suitable insulated packaging.
Positioning inside the parcel
The heat pack should be positioned so that warmth can spread through the parcel without direct contact with plants, animal containers or other heat-sensitive contents.
A protective layer such as cardboard, kraft paper, newspaper or another suitable material can be used as a barrier.
Important: avoid direct contact
Never place the heat pack directly against leaves, roots, stems, transport bags or an animal container.
Direct contact may create excessive local heat and lead to drying, burns or overheating.
Airflow requirement
The heat pack works through an oxidation reaction and therefore requires air to continue producing heat.
Completely airtight packaging may slow down or stop the reaction. Packaging must therefore provide sufficient airflow while remaining appropriate for the transported contents.
For plant transport
Tropical plants can be especially vulnerable to low temperatures during winter shipping.
The heat pack provides an additional layer of thermal protection alongside the box, insulation and packing materials.
It is particularly useful for tropical plants, cuttings, young plants and other cold-sensitive species.
For animal transport
During authorised transport of cold-sensitive animals, a heat pack can help reduce significant temperature fluctuations during the journey.
It must always be used in packaging suitable for the species concerned, without direct contact with the animal and while taking its ventilation and temperature requirements into account.
How many heat packs should be used?
The number required depends mainly on:
- Parcel volume
- Insulation quality
- Outside temperature
- Transit duration
- Cold sensitivity of the contents
For larger parcels or very cold weather, several heat packs may be required to achieve more even thermal protection.
Why choose a 72-hour heat pack?
With a heating duration of up to approximately 72 hours, this heat pack is particularly suitable for journeys lasting several days and winter shipping.
It provides a simple and practical way to reinforce the thermal protection of packages containing cold-sensitive plants or animals.
JungleBox advice
Always use the heat pack as a complement to good parcel insulation. For tropical plants, position it away from the foliage and use a protective layer so that heat is distributed gradually.
In very cold conditions, adjust the number of heat packs to parcel size rather than placing a single warmer directly against the contents.
