A new range of temperature indicators designed to help businesses accommodate a maintained temperature in transit has been launched by Kite Packaging.

The new indicators are small self-adhesive labels that go inside chilled packaging to facilitate contents that need to be kept at a certain temperature.

They monitor the temperature throughout a specified time period and indicate when their maximum threshold has been breached.

Each indicator also informs users how long the contents have been above the specified threshold temperature.

Temperature indicators are commonly used with many food, pharmaceuticals and medical products to show the accumulated time-temperature history of a product.

There are two specifications available to choose from, food temperature indicators and pharmaceutical temperature indicators, ranging from temperatures 5-8 °C and have varied time frames.

Each of indicator is self-activated and will ensure chilled goods get to their destination at the desired temperature that businesses require.

These new temperature indicators are another addition for the business’s new chilled packaging range, which features enviro-friendly insulated boxes, insulated box liners, ice packs, thermal pallet overs and temperature controlled pouches.
