Time & Temperature Sensitive Shipping Labels

Time and temperature sensitive labels give handlers a general warning that the shipment's timing and temperature conditions matter. They are useful when the detailed storage range or packout instructions are communicated elsewhere but the outer package still needs a prominent temperature-sensitivity message.

Use It When the Shipment Needs a General Temperature-Sensitivity Flag

Unlike a “Keep Frozen,” “Refrigerate Upon Arrival” or “Protect From Freezing” label, this message does not prescribe one storage condition. It simply alerts handlers that time and temperature matter to the shipment.

That makes it useful when the detailed storage range or packout instructions are communicated elsewhere—such as on the product label, shipping documents, validated packout instructions or customer receiving procedure—while the outer carton still needs a highly visible temperature-sensitivity warning.

The label does not monitor temperature, record an excursion or maintain the package environment. Temperature indicators, data loggers, insulation, refrigerants and validated packaging serve those separate functions.

When a More Specific Climate Label Is Better

If the handling instruction is known and simple, a more specific message can be clearer. Packaging HERO also offers Climate Labels for messages such as Keep Frozen, Freeze Upon Arrival, Keep Refrigerated, Refrigerate Upon Arrival and Protect From Freezing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose a time-and-temperature label format?

Choose a format large enough for the warning to stay visible on the package while leaving room for carrier labels, documentation and any more specific handling instructions.

Is this the same as a Keep Frozen or Refrigerate label?

No. Time And Temperature Sensitive is a general warning; more specific climate labels can state actions such as Keep Frozen, Protect From Freezing or Refrigerate Upon Arrival.

Does this label monitor the shipment temperature?

No. It is a printed handling warning, not a temperature indicator, data logger or monitoring device.

Does this label show whether a temperature excursion occurred?

No. It is a printed handling warning, not a temperature indicator or logger.

Need a General or Specific Temperature Message?

We can help you choose between the Time And Temperature Sensitive label and the more specific climate-handling messages.
