Shipping temperature-controlled (cold chain) cargo
Cold Chain & Dangerous Goods
3 min read Updated August 2026
Cold chain logistics covers any shipment that must stay within a defined temperature range throughout transport — pharmaceuticals, vaccines, perishable food, and certain chemicals.
Temperature ranges we handle
ZargoLogix's cold chain network covers a continuous range from +15°C down to −80°C, using validated packaging, active refrigeration units, and passive insulated systems depending on the product and transit time.
How continuity is maintained
- Continuous IoT monitoring — temperature-logging devices travel with the cargo and record data throughout the journey, not just at handover points.
- Validated packaging — packaging is qualified for the specific product and expected transit duration before shipment.
- Immutable data logging — the temperature record for your shipment is preserved and available for GMP/GDP compliance review after delivery.
If your shipment is pharmaceutical, see GDP compliance for pharmaceutical shipments for the additional regulatory requirements that apply specifically to that category.
Because cold chain shipments require product-specific packaging validation, request your quote as early as possible — see How to request a freight quote and mention temperature requirements up front so your specialist can plan the right packaging solution.
