How does the ifoodbag® system work?
The ifoodbag® system keeps the cold chain intact. The ifoodbag® is a recyclable paper thermal bag that combines minimal condensation with thermo-protection capabilities. The alvobox® is a durable, stackable and recyclable thermal box. They can be used separately or combined in a passive cooling system. The performance can be enhanced by using an optimized amount of cooling elements such as chilling shields or gelpacks.
For how long can the ifoodbag® system keep goods cold?
There are several factors that affect how long the goods will stay cold.
Our experts will analyze your case and suggest how you can optimize the setup by using a combination of bags, boxes and passive cooling elements to meet end-temperature requirements in the most cost-effective way.
What factors affect the ifoodbag® system's performance?
Several factors will have an effect on the temperature development:
• Load factor
• Starting temperature
• Ambient temperature
• Number of hours in transit
• Using a regular bag or ifoodbag®
• Using a regular logistical box or alvobox®
• Using passive cooling elements

What can the ifoodbag® system do for me?
Every business is different, but we have plenty of cases where we have helped customers solve their last mile delivery challenges. Improvement areas we have been a part of include:
•Increased flexibility
• Scalability
• Storage efficiency
• Third party logistic set up
• Unbroken cold chain
• Unattended home deliveries
Can I mix chilled and frozen products in the same bag or box?
Yes, you can. However, over time the frozen products in contact with chilled products will have a freezing effect.
Is it environmentally sustainable?
Yes! The bag is made from paper and can be recycled as paper packaging.
Can I use it for hot food?
The ifoodbag® protects both hot and cold products. With hot or warm food there are, however, some condensation factors to take into account.
Can the ifoodbag® system components be re-used?
Yes, thay can. Many times. Exactly how many will depend on the system set-up.
How is the ifoodbag® recycled?
Sort and recycle ifoodbag according to your national policy. In Sweden, for example, the ifoodbag® should be recycled as paper packaging (“Pappersförpackningar”) and alvobox® as rigid plastic.
Can I order the bag in a customized size?
The ifoodbag® /ipharmabag® comes in six standard sizes and alvobox® in two standard sizes. More size options can be offered for larger orders.
Can I have a customized print on the bag?
Yes, for larger orders you can have a customized print or logo on the ifoodbag® or alvobox®.
Can I use crushed ice as a cooling agent inside the bag or box?
Yes, you can. The alvobox® is completely dense. For ifoodbag® we recommend using an absorbing pad in the bottom of the bag to absorb the melt water. This keeps the cooling energy in the bag and all goods away from water. It is an excellent solution for transporting fish and seafood.
Can I have some samples?
We always start with a meeting where we go through your logistical set-up and discuss the problem you are trying to solve. Thereafter we present possible solutions.
