We Package Responsibly, Use Environmentally Cool Packaging
At The Artisan Food Company, we use Woolcool® insulated packaging to ensure your fresh and chilled products arrive in perfect condition — no matter where you are in the UK or Eire. Woolcool® is a natural, sustainable alternative to traditional insulation materials, made using 100% sheep’s wool. This innovative packaging keeps food products consistently cold during transit, making it ideal for our range of meats, fish, dairy, and other temperature-sensitive items.
Wool is a proven insulator that outperforms synthetic alternatives. Its natural fibres create a breathable and flexible layer of protection, regulating temperature and reducing the risk of spoilage or food waste. Woolcool® has been rigorously tested and proven to keep chilled goods within the required temperature range for up to 72 hours — even during warmer months or longer delivery times.
Not only is Woolcool® highly effective, but it’s also environmentally responsible. The wool is recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable, and the outer packaging is fully recyclable as well. By choosing Woolcool®, we’re able to protect your food and the planet at the same time — giving you peace of mind with every delivery.
Our Woolcool® packaging is made using 100% pure sheep’s wool, an organic, natural, and renewable material. Sourced from responsibly managed farms, the wool is cleaned and processed without the use of harmful chemicals, making it safe for food contact and kind to the environment.
The liners inside our delivery boxes are completely biodegradable and compostable, breaking down naturally without leaving behind microplastics or toxins. Because wool is a natural insulator, it offers exceptional performance without relying on synthetic or petroleum-based materials.
By using organic Woolcool® boxes and liners, we ensure that your food stays fresh in transit — while also supporting sustainable farming and eco-friendly packaging practices. It’s a smart, responsible choice for the future of food delivery.
Woolcool® boxes are designed with sustainability at their core. The wool liners used in our packaging are 100% biodegradable and compostable, meaning they break down naturally over time without harming the environment. Made from pure sheep’s wool, these liners return to the earth safely, leaving no toxic residues or microplastics behind.
You can place the wool liners in your home compost bin or garden, where they will decompose naturally, enriching the soil as they break down. Alternatively, they can be reused around the home for insulation, pet bedding, or even as garden mulch.
By using Woolcool®, we’re not just keeping your food fresh and safe — we’re also helping to reduce waste and support a more sustainable, circular approach to packaging.
Yes — Woolcool® packaging is both recyclable and made using recycled materials. The wool liners are crafted from 100% sheep’s wool, a natural fibre that is fully biodegradable, compostable, and can be reused in countless ways — from insulation and pet bedding to garden mulch.
The outer boxes and plastic liners used in Woolcool® packaging are also recyclable through standard household or commercial recycling streams. Where possible, Woolcool® uses recycled materials in the manufacture of these components, helping to reduce waste and environmental impact.
By choosing Woolcool®, you’re not only receiving packaging that protects your food — you’re also supporting a closed-loop, low-waste system that values sustainability at every step.
Woolcool® packaging is naturally moisture-resistant, making it ideal for delivering fresh and chilled foods safely and securely. The 100% sheep’s wool liners have excellent absorbent properties, which help regulate humidity and prevent condensation from building up inside the box — a common issue with traditional insulation materials.
This means your products stay dry, fresh, and well-protected throughout their journey, even during longer deliveries or in varying weather conditions. The outer packaging also includes a recyclable, food-grade wrap that provides an extra barrier against moisture and ensures cleanliness during transit.
Thanks to its natural moisture control, Woolcool® not only keeps your items cool but also helps maintain product quality and appearance — right up to the moment they reach your door.
Woolcool® boxes are specifically designed to be courier-safe, ensuring your food arrives in perfect condition — no matter how far it travels. The robust outer cardboard box, combined with the naturally cushioning wool insulation, provides excellent protection against knocks, drops, and temperature fluctuations during transit.
The wool liners help maintain a stable internal temperature for up to 72 hours, even with the rigours of nationwide delivery networks. They also act as a shock absorber, reducing the risk of damage from movement or handling during the courier journey.
Whether it’s fresh meat, fish, dairy, or deli items, Woolcool® delivers confidence — offering reliable, protective, and temperature-stable packaging that’s trusted by leading food suppliers across the UK.
Yes, Woolcool® boxes are highly effective at keeping products chilled — and even frozen — for extended periods, making them ideal for food deliveries across the UK and Eire. They work by using natural sheep’s wool as insulation, which has been scientifically proven to outperform many synthetic alternatives.
Wool is a natural temperature regulator. The fibres trap air and form a breathable insulating layer that slows down the transfer of heat, maintaining a consistent internal temperature. When combined with ice packs or frozen gel packs, Woolcool® can keep products chilled for up to 72 hours, depending on external conditions and contents.
Whether you’re sending dairy, meat, fish, or other perishable goods, Woolcool® ensures they stay fresh, cold, and safe throughout their journey — giving you peace of mind that your delivery will arrive in perfect condition, even on longer courier routes.
