The development of packaging solutions for the shipment of Covid vaccines is forefront in the challenges of vaccine distribution. From the beginning of the pandemic, Skolnik has been working with drug manufacturers and distribution companies to meet the needs of this challenge. Our carbon and stainless steel drums, in varying sizes, have been used as single-use and combination packaging. Not only do the pharmaceutical companies have to be concerned with choosing the right package and shipping the vaccines at very cold temperatures, but they also have to ensure that these packages are compliant with a myriad of regulations. Many of these packages involve the use of lithium batteries and dry-ice, two of the most tricky items to ship. Given the urgent need to get vaccines shipped around the world, transportation regulators, airline officials, and dangerous goods professionals have been working non-stop to adopt regulations and make changes to allow for the rapid transport of these life-saving vaccines. Several companies have developed packaging solutions and we are very grateful that they have been successful in working with our professional staff teams. Our steel drums are proving to be indispensable for the fight against the Coronavirus.
