X-Ray Compatibility for
Door-to-Door Shipments

From packing to airport screening, the 1500X keeps the cold chain unbroken with seamless X-ray clearance for secure, stable delivery. Watch the journey of a temperature-sensitive shipment and see how SkyCell’s 1500X protects products every step of the way.

 

 

"I have experienced uninterrupted cold chain when using SkyCell. I have seen no spikes even during the customer screening and processing."

Protecting Medicine Where It Matters

Medications are only as safe as the environments they move through. Even a brief temperature excursion can render an entire batch unusable. That’s why an unbroken cold chain, from origin to final destination, is essential.

Yet the weakest link is often airports. Here, strict regulations require shipments to be screened, usually by X-ray. Many active and passive containers can’t be scanned effectively, forcing customs officers to open and unload them. In those moments, products face their greatest risks: exposure, delays, and costly losses.

True door-to-door protection means making the container as resilient as the journey itself. That’s where SkyCell’s hybrid 1500X comes in — a container designed to be X-ray compliant, keeping pharma safe without breaking the seal.

Engineered for X-Ray Screening

The 1500X container was purpose-built with airport security in mind, solving one of the biggest challenges in pharmaceutical logistics. Its dimensions fit standard X-ray machines, enabling clear, unobstructed scans. With its advanced structure, the image provides full visibility of the contents, avoiding false alarms that can lead to manual inspections.

This means the container seal never has to be broken, ensuring product quality and stability remain intact at every checkpoint. Sensitive cargo stays protected from costly delays or dangerous excursions, while the cold chain remains unbroken. By simplifying X-ray screening, the 1500X enables true door-to-door transport: fewer handovers, faster customs clearance, and safer delivery across global supply chains.
