What TemperPack does
TemperPack is a Richmond, Virginia-based manufacturer of sustainable insulated packaging founded in 2015 to displace single-use plastics and EPS foam in e-commerce and cold-chain shipping. The company operates three proprietary material science platforms: ClimaCell, a curbside-recyclable thermal liner made from renewable paper and vegetable starch with a moisture-resistant barrier coating for 36–72+ hour cold chain performance; Green Cell Foam, a certified compostable, plant-based insulation (over 90% plants and air) replacing EPS; and WaveKraft, a paper-based packaging platform produced on-demand either at TemperPack facilities or on-site at customer and distributor locations via dedicated machines. Underpinning these platforms is the in-house Proving Ground innovation lab — one of only eight ISTA-certified thermal transport labs in the U.S. — featuring six thermal chambers and proprietary thermal models validated through thousands of lab tests and live shipment studies.
TemperPack sells primarily through a direct enterprise sales motion with dedicated account teams and packaging specialists, supplemented by a distributor channel that resells WaveKraft, ClimaCell, and Green Cell Foam to downstream accounts. A self-serve e-commerce storefront serves smaller buyers, and a customer portal supports order tracking, thermal testing results, and WaveKraft analytics. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with revenue derived from product sales, custom validated solutions, and WaveKraft on-demand equipment plus ongoing material supply. The company serves six primary verticals — Food & Beverage, Life Sciences, Packaging Distributors, Pet & Vet, Wine, and E-Commerce/Consumer Goods — through three ISO 9001:2015-certified U.S. manufacturing facilities in Richmond VA, Lansing MI, and Las Vegas NV, with a limited UK presence. Notable customers include New England Biolabs, Cytiva, WebstaurantStore, Wild Alaskan Company, Caroline's Cakes, and a major hospital system, supported by a +69 Net Promoter Score.
