Per the Transportation Security Administration, freezer packs are allowed in carry on bags (with special instructions). For checked bags, frozen liquid items and gel packs are allowed through the checkpoint as long as they are frozen solid when presented for screening. Please note: The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through checkpoint. Please visit tsa.gov for more information.

We use high quality materials that are food safe and BPA free such as clear, glass-like Tritan® plastic base, high-density polyethylene lids and food grade silicone seals.

Hand wash the interior of your PackIt bag with mild soap and warm water, or wipe thoroughly with an all-purpose antibacterial wipe. You can spot clean the exterior with a gentle sponge. Allow the PackIt to air-dry completely with the flap open before freezing to prevent frost from forming. PackIts are not washing machine-, dryer-, dishwasher- or microwave-safe. Please do not use bleach or any chemicals other than mild laundry detergent to clean the bag.

Though freezing the PackIt may kill some forms of mold that would form in other coolers, we can’t guarantee it. We recommend regular cleaning of PackIt bags to prevent bacteria from growing inside. Whether you’re using soap and water or a wet wipe, allow the bag to air-dry completely before freezing to avoid the formation of frost.
