Choose the right case
An insulated case with room for cold packs holds temperature far longer than a lunch bag. A hard shell also protects glass from knocks.
Pack it properly
On the day
Keep the case out of hot cars and direct sun. Plan the shortest route, and move items back into a fridge as soon as you arrive.
Flying or shipping
Rules for cold packs and liquids change and differ by country and airline. Check the current guidance from your airline and the local security authority before you travel.
