Eco-Friendly Packaging Solution Receives ISO 9001:2008 Certification

The developers of an eco-friendly packaging solution announced that their product has received the ISO 9001:2008 certification

 

Coldpack (San Diego, CA; and Paris, France), which developed the AirLiner, received the certification after it was determined to have met the comprehensive set of standards dictated by the ISO covering all aspects of the business: design, development, sales, manufacturing, and service.

 

The company’s inflatable AirLiner technology consists of multiple layers of reflective nylon barrier film sealed together in a proprietary design that holds air for insulation and reflects heat.

 

The AirLiner technology can also be used to convert a corrugated box into a cooler. AirLiner Cold Ship Kits include 12 AirLiners, 12 corrugated boxes, 24 fill and freeze gel packs, and one hand air pump.

 

Pira International performed a life cycle assessment of AirLiner and noted that its ability to be shipped flat enabled more AirLiner shipping systems to be distributed in the same amount of space than those that are disseminated preassembled. It can be deflated, occupying less landfill space.

 

The AirLiner has won industry awards including a few from the Flexible Packaging Association (FPA) as well as the Cold-Chain award at Pharmapack 2009.
