Troubleshooting
Ice pack is not staying cold for long enough

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the ice packs, place them in your freezer at least 8 to 12 hours before your planned excursion. Ensure they are laid flat to ensure an even freeze. These packs are compatible with almost all insulated lunch bags, soft-sided cool bags, and hard-shell picnic hampers. To care for your ice packs, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth after each use if they come into contact with food residue. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Do not put these packs in the dishwasher or microwave, as the intense heat can damage the plastic casing and cause leaks.
