UniHeat 72 Hour Shipping Warmer
The UniHeat 72 Hour Shipping Warmer is the industry’s most trusted long-duration heat pack — the top choice for plant shippers, and reptile breeders who need dependable warmth for 1–3 day shipments. Built for reliability in changing climates, it provides stable heat for up to 72 hours, protecting temperature-sensitive items from cold damage during extended transit.
Why the UniHeat 72 Hour Shipping Warmer Matters
When shipments stretch beyond overnight delivery, steady and controlled warmth becomes essential. The UniHeat 72 Hour warmer offers the perfect balance — long runtime, smooth temperature curve, and safe performance for a wide range of live products.
Used worldwide, it remains the go-to solution for plant nurseries & reptile breeders. Its consistent heat output helps prevent cold shock in sensitive species and preserves the integrity of live plants and perishable goods through weekend delays or long-distance routes.
How the UniHeat 72 Hour Shipping Warmer Performs in Transit
Activation begins within about 30 minutes after exposure to air. The pack gradually rises to a peak surface temperature of approximately 140–145°F (60–63°C) within the first 10–12 hours.
It then maintains a steady, reliable warmth between 120–130°F (49–54°C) for nearly two full days before gradually cooling through the final 24 hours. By the 72-hour mark, the pack typically settles near 85°F, providing a gentle finish that keeps shipments stable through extended transit.
The red stripe identifies the breathing side, where the air holes are located — always face this side toward open space inside the box, not against walls or lids, for consistent airflow and even heating.

Give the warmer a light shake before sealing your box — this helps air reach all internal cells for faster activation.
Before shipping, check current U.S. weather alerts to plan around extreme cold or unexpected delays.
