Ice pack sheets

Ice pack sheets, also known as ice pack XL, cooling sheets, gel mats, ice mats or flexible gel ice packs, are thin cooling sheets with multiple gel cells for the chilled shipping of temperature-sensitive products. You receive them flat and empty, briefly submerge them in water until the cells swell and then freeze them at -5 °C to -80 °C. After freezing, the sheets stay flexible and can be torn to size along the perforation, leak-proof and food-safe. Suitable for flat cooling of fish, sushi, meat, charcuterie, meals and pharmaceutical samples. Available directly from stock in several sizes and on a roll.

Ice pack sheets: flexible cooling sheets for chilled shipping

Ice pack sheets, also known as ice pack XL, cooling sheets, ice mats, cooling mats or flexible gel packs, are thin sheets with several cells that each hold a superabsorbent granulate. They are flexible cooling elements that you activate yourself with water: suitable for shipping fish, sushi, meat, charcuterie, meals and medicines chilled. Because the sheets are flat, they cool evenly and fit in flat packaging and letterbox boxes where thick gel packs will not.

How do ice pack sheets work?

Each sheet is a water-absorbing pouch with superabsorbent granulate. You soak the sheet in water for 5 to 10 minutes, after which the cells swell into a firm gel mat, a cushion mat of gel packs. Then you freeze the sheet and it is ready to use straight away. The cooling mat can be frozen from -5 °C and withstands down to -80 °C, and stays flexible even after freezing, so it wraps around any product.

Advantages of ice pack XL cooling sheets

  • Supplied flat and compact, they take up hardly any storage space before activation and save on transport costs.
  • Tear to size along the perforation lines: use exactly the number of cells you need, with no wasted gel volume.
  • Flexible after freezing, so suitable for irregularly shaped and flat products.
  • Leak proof and food safe: the gel is non-toxic and gives off no meltwater.
  • A safe, practical alternative to dry ice in air freight, without complex handling or regulations.

Guides & advice: Ice pack sheets

Frequently asked questions

How do I use ice pack sheets?
The sheets are supplied flat and empty. First immerse the sheet in water for 5 to 10 minutes so the cells fill and form a gel mat. Then freeze it (approximately 8 to 12 hours) and place it flat in the packaging, underneath or on top of the product. Need fewer cells? Tear off part of the sheet along the perforation lines.
How long do they stay cold?
Per cell, they contain less volume than a standard gel pack, so the cooling time is typically around 8 to 12 hours. That makes them suitable for same-day and next-day letterbox and parcel shipments.
What sizes are available?
2×3 cells (140×200 mm), 3×4 cells (200×280 mm), 2×6 cells (140×400 mm) and 4×6 cells (280×400 mm). Also available on a perforated roll. Per outer carton of 500 to 2,000 pieces, depending on the size.
To what temperature can I freeze them?
The cooling mat can be frozen from as low as −5 °C and withstands temperatures down to −80 °C. Even after freezing, the sheet remains flexible and ready for immediate use, suitable for both chilled and deep-frozen transport.
Are they leakproof and food-safe?
Yes, provided it is undamaged. The gel is non-toxic and food-safe, making it suitable for shipping fish, meat, meals, and other fresh products.
