Vitamin D Shipment: Navigating IATA Regulations for Toxic Chemicals

Vitamin D Shipment: Navigating IATA Regulations for Toxic Chemicals

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Sometimes, you're not just worried about keeping your pharmaceuticals cold; you've also got to worry about making sure it doesn't leak toxic chemicals.Look at one of our Vitamin D compound shipments early on, not only did it need temperature control, it also happened to be considered "Dangerous Goods" under IATA regulations.

You would need to get two types of specialized packaging to work together.The blue box (Koolar Box) is all about keeping things cold - in this case, it's down to -20°C, as we see in the image. It's called a thermal passive packaging solution for a good reason as it can work on its own without needing a power supply.The walls of the KoolarBox are packed with high-performance insulation materials that work to keep the cold in.

Now, you need specially designed DG packaging that is sturdy, tough, and durable to prevent leaks or spills and handle hazards. It has to meet really strict standards set by IATA, with clear hazard labels on it as well as all the right documentation required.Layers of protection, inside and out. Had you messed up either one, you could have ended up jeopardizing the whole shipment.
