Case Study: Printed Hot/Cold Packs for Bupa
Bupa, a trusted name in health and care services, ordered 140 hot/cold packs from Cubic Promote, each branded with their logo for their Sydney-based community outreach programs. Known for its top-tier healthcare services, insurance, and aged care, Bupa knows that ordinary giveaways won’t get its message across; thus, it has decided on hot and cold packs. These packs were part of wellness kits distributed during local events focused on injury prevention, recovery, and everyday health education. Each pack was reusable and designed for both heat and cold applications.
Over the course of several pop-up sessions held at local parks, clinics, and aged care facilities, the branded heat packs found their way into homes, gym bags, and office drawers. A few weeks later, the recipients brought and used them to manage pain and discomfort. Because of this, Bupa was able to boost its visibility across Sydney and integrate its brand into the recipients’ everyday routines. The packs didn’t just offer relief—they quietly carried the brand into homes and conversations across the community.
How to Properly Store Personalised Hot and Cold Packs
Proper storage of hot and cold packs is crucial to maintain their effectiveness and ensure they are ready to use when needed. Here are some guidelines to help you store these therapeutic items appropriately:
- Keep at Room Temperature: Store hot and cold packs in a cool, dry place at room temperature when not in use to maintain their efficacy.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prevent exposure to direct sunlight, which can degrade the materials and affect the pack’s functionality.
- Follow Manufacturer Guidelines: Adhere to specific storage instructions provided by the manufacturer, especially for gel packs, to ensure longevity.
- Check for Leaks: Regularly inspect packs for any leaks or damage, especially after extended use, to prevent messes and ensure safety.
- Separate from Sharp Objects: Store away from sharp or pointed items that could puncture the packs.
- Do Not Freeze Liquid Packs Unless Directed: Some hot packs should not be frozen; always follow the label instructions regarding temperature management.
