Hi, this is Ken Rochek with Creative Packaging Company located in Shelbyville, Kentucky, which is a short drive from Louisville, Kentucky. We're here today to talk about a new product for us that we're manufacturing. It's called a refrigerant brick. Traditional coolants and refrigerants used in coal chain transportation would be a normal gel pack.

A gel pack though often freezes or misshapes, and as you try to get that into a particular shipment, it may take up too much space. The refrigerant brick, whether ambient or frozen, maintains the same volume and same space in the packaging, and obviously very easy to do. So for us it's a new product, it's not new to the industry, new to creative packaging and hoping to use it in the pharma world.
