All components are available for purchase.

A plastic panel filled with phase change material. Each Cool Cube™ comes with 6 PCM panels that make up the PCM System.

The VIP (Vacuum Insulation Panel) System consists of 6 panels that form an insulation barrier for the Cool Cube™. Each panel is a specially formed rigid foam board, shrink wrapped, encased in a metallic plastic film, and sealed under vacuum.

Phase Change Material – a substance with a high heat of fusion which, melting and solidifying at a certain temperature, is capable of storing and releasing large amounts of energy.

Vacuum Insulation Panel – a form of thermal insulation consisting of a gas-tight enclosure surrounding a rigid core, from which the air has been evacuated.

The PCM inside is NOT below its phase change temperature of 21.5°C/70.7°F. Make sure that the storage temperature is always below 20°C/68°F.

The PCM inside is NOT below its phase change temperature of 4.5°C/40.1°F. Make sure that the storage temperature is always below 4°C/39.2°F.

The PCM inside is NOT below its phase change temperature of -21.5°C/-6.7°F. Make sure that the freezer temperature is always below -23°C/-9.4°F.

Yes, for Cool Cubes™ at Fridge Temps. However, before pack-out, the panels must sit out and warm up until they “sweat” so that they don’t make the cooler too cold.

Yes, for Cool Cubes™ at Fridge Temps. Make sure the refrigerator temperature is below 4°C to ensure panels turn solid (the closer the fridge is to 4.5°C, the longer it will take to turn solid).

Yes, but to get the panels truly hard, the freezer must maintain a temperature lower than -30°C. Otherwise, the panel will be at the temperature of the freezer (in a liquid state) and just won’t last as long.

Yes, but they will just take longer to condition (the middle panel will be the last to condition). For the quickest conditioning process, get as much air circulating around the panel as possible.

If the panels must be stacked we recommend inserting a spacer (pencil, tongue depressor, etc.) between each panel.

No, but the PCM panels need to be prepped.

The PCM inside is above its phase change temperature.

No. It is not necessary to condition the vacuum insulated panel (VIP) system. Storage at room temperature is recommended.

Vacuum Insulation Panel – a form of thermal insulation consisting of a gas-tight enclosure surrounding a rigid core, from which the air has been evacuated.

No, but all six panels will maintain a consistent temperature the longest. The fewer the panels, the shorter the temperature holding time.

No. The PCM panels are replacements superior to the standard gel pack method of cooling.

No. The PCM panels are replacements superior to the standard ice pack method of cooling.

Not during use. But during storage/conditioning, electricity may be needed to maintain condition the panels properly.

Yes. The large cooler can be locked with a small, steel padlock. The small and medium coolers have double zippers that can be fastened together with a small, cable padlock.

Yes, if they have the same temperature parameters. No, if they require two different parameters.

Yes, just not at the same time. Temperature controlling panels (the PCM System) can be purchased separately and swapped out depending on use.

No. Although it is recommended to have a thermometer to monitor the temperature and some filler material (newspaper, bubble-wrap, etc.) to prevent contents from shifting.

The “series” and color codes are: Series 4 (blue tab) maintains a refrigerated temperature. Series 20M (black tab) maintains a frozen temperature. Series 22 (tan tab) maintains a room temperature.

Usually 1 to 2 business days depending on stock.

Taxes: United States & Canada

• Calculated based on delivery location.
• If $0.00 (Sales tax not collected) is apparent, either VeriCor doesn’t collect sales tax for that state or the order is identified as tax-exempt.
• If tax-exempt, a valid tax exemption certificate is needed to process the order.

Brokerage: the fee associated with customs clearance for your inbound shipments.

• Paid by the “Importer of Record” (customer) based on the value of the shipment to the designated broker.
• Broker can be identified by the customer prior to shipment (so they use their own), otherwise FedEx will be the default broker.
• There are ways to avoid broker fees, but there’s time and work involved (example).
