Cold Storage in Pakistan – Industrial Prefab Cold Rooms
Imagine losing an entire shipment of temperature-sensitive vaccines or fresh produce because your cold storage couldn’t handle Pakistan’s summer heat. For many business owners in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad, this is a recurring nightmare. Traditional cold rooms often crack, lose insulation, or cost a fortune to maintain. That’s where EPACK Prefab Pakistan steps in. We design and build high-performance, energy-efficient cold storage in Pakistan that maintains precise temperatures even when outside temperatures soar past 45°C. With over 25 years of experience and ISO certifications, we deliver turnkey cold chain solutions across the country—from small cold rooms for restaurants to large industrial cold storage warehouses.
What Is Modern Cold Storage in Pakistan?
Cold storage refers to temperature-controlled facilities designed to preserve perishable goods such as fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, and pharmaceuticals. In Pakistan, the concept is rapidly evolving beyond traditional brick-and-mortar cold rooms. Modern cold storage in Pakistan now uses prefabricated sandwich panels with high-density PUF (polyurethane foam) or rock wool insulation. These panels are sandwiched between strong galvanized steel sheets, creating a seamless, airtight envelope. Unlike conventional cold storage, which can take months to build and often suffers from thermal leakage, prefab cold rooms are engineered for precision. Pakistan’s growing population, expanding retail chains, and increasing pharmaceutical exports are driving demand for reliable cold chain infrastructure. EPACK’s cold storage solutions are designed specifically for local conditions—high humidity, dust, power fluctuations, and extreme temperatures.

Cold Storage in Pakistan – Detailed Breakdown
Heavy-Duty Cold Storage Units for Pharmaceutical Industry
Pharmaceutical products—vaccines, insulin, and injectables—require strict temperature ranges between 2°C and 8°C. EPACK’s pharma-grade cold storage features medical-grade insulation, redundant cooling systems, and remote temperature monitoring. These units comply with WHO and DRAP guidelines.
- Precision temperature control ±1°C
- Emergency backup compatible with UPS/generators
- Anti-bacterial interior coatings
- Data logging for audit trails
Large-Scale Food & Beverage Cold Warehouses (Up to 1,000+ Pallets)
For food distributors, meat exporters, and dairy processors, we build walk-in cold warehouses with adjustable racking systems. Our clear-span design (up to 40 meters wide) maximizes storage space without internal columns. Panels are 80mm to 200mm thick PUF or rock wool.
- Rapid door systems with strip curtains
- Anti-condensation flooring
- Defrost and drainage planning for high-humidity products
- Expandable modular design
Modular Cold Rooms for Retail & Restaurants
Small businesses don’t need a massive warehouse. EPACK offers plug-and-play modular cold rooms (10 sq m to 100 sq m) that can be assembled in two days. These are perfect for supermarket backstores, restaurant central kitchens, and fruit wholesalers in markets like Karachi’s Jodia Bazaar or Lahore’s Badshahi area.
- Pre-wired control panels
- Easy to relocate or resize
- Choice of floorless or insulated floor options
- Digital thermostat with remote access
Blast Freezers & Rapid Cooling Chambers (-40°C Capable)
Seafood exporters and meat processors need rapid freezing to preserve quality. Our blast freezers drop core temperatures quickly, preventing ice crystal damage. These are built with thicker panels (150mm+) and heavy-duty condensing units suitable for Pakistan’s voltage fluctuations.
- Stainless steel interior for easy cleaning
- Automatic defrost cycles
- Energy-efficient scroll compressors
- Remote alarm system for temperature deviation

Our Process – How EPACK Delivers Cold Storage in Pakistan
1. Enquiry & Requirement Analysis – You call us at +92-322-8000-190 or use our contact form. We ask about your product type, required temperature, storage volume, and site location.
2. Free Site Survey – Our engineer visits your site (any city in Pakistan) to measure available space, check power supply, and advise on optimal orientation to reduce heat load.
3. Custom Design & 3D Modeling – In-house designers create a 3D model of your cold storage, showing panel layout, door positions, and cooling unit placement.
4. Precision Engineering – We specify panel thickness (80mm to 200mm), cooling capacity (BTU/hr), and electrical requirements. All designs are signed off by you.
5. Factory Fabrication with 47+ QC Checks – Sandwich panels are manufactured at our ISO-certified facility. Each panel undergoes checks for density, flatness, edge sealing, and camber.
6. Safe Delivery & Rapid Installation – Panels, doors, and cooling units are transported to your site. Our certified crew assembles the cold room using cam-lock or tongue-and-groove joints.
7. Commissioning, Handover & Lifetime Support – We run the system for 48 hours, check temperature stability, train your staff, and hand over manuals. After-sales support is just a call away.

Frequently Asked Questions – Cold Storage in Pakistan
1. What is cold storage in Pakistan and how does it work?
Cold storage in Pakistan refers to insulated rooms or warehouses that maintain specific low temperatures using refrigeration units. EPACK’s prefab cold rooms use PUF sandwich panels that act as thermal barriers. A condensing unit and evaporator work together to remove heat, while digital controllers maintain setpoints. It’s like a giant, walk-in refrigerator designed for commercial use.
2. How much does cold storage in Pakistan cost?
Costs vary based on size, panel thickness (80mm to 200mm), cooling capacity, and location. A small 10’x10’ cold room might start around PKR 600,000, while a large warehouse can exceed PKR 5 million. Contact EPACK for a free, no-obligation quote based on your exact needs. We offer competitive pricing without compromising on insulation quality.
3. How long does cold storage take to build or install?
EPACK delivers a prefab cold storage in as little as 2 to 4 weeks after design approval. Installation on-site typically takes 2 to 7 days, depending on size. Conventional cold storage takes months. Our speed comes from pre-engineered panels manufactured in our factory. You can be storing products within a month of your first inquiry.
4. Is prefab cold storage suitable for Pakistan’s climate?
Absolutely. EPACK designs specifically for Pakistan’s extreme summers (up to 55°C surface temperature), high humidity in Karachi and Lahore, and dusty conditions in rural areas. Our panels have high-density insulation (40+ kg/m³ for PUF) and vapour-tight seals to prevent moisture ingress. We also recommend higher capacity cooling units to handle heat load.
5. Is EPACK’s cold storage earthquake-resistant?
Yes. Our prefab structures use flexible steel connections that absorb seismic energy better than rigid brick walls. The lightweight nature of sandwich panels (much lighter than concrete or brick) reduces overall building mass, which is beneficial during earthquakes. We follow the Building Code of Pakistan (Seismic Provisions) and can customize for high-risk zones.
6. Can I customize my cold storage to my exact requirements?
Completely. You decide dimensions, number of doors (sliding, hinged, or rapid roll-up), floor type (insulated or not), temperature range (-20°C to +15°C), and interior layout. Want windows for inspection? A separate ante-room? Remote SMS alerts? EPACK can do it. We treat every project as unique.
7. Does EPACK handle everything from design to installation?
Yes – turnkey solution. We do site survey, engineering, manufacturing, delivery, installation, and commissioning. You don’t need to hire separate electricians, refrigeration technicians, or civil contractors. One point of contact, one guarantee. Our team even trains your staff on daily operation and defrosting.
8. What is the lifespan of EPACK’s cold storage in Pakistan?
With proper maintenance (regular cleaning, checking door seals, servicing compressors), our cold storage units last 20+ years. The galvanized steel exterior resists rust. The PUF insulation does not settle or absorb moisture over time. We provide a structured warranty on panels and cooling equipment.
9. Which cities in Pakistan does EPACK serve for cold storage projects?
All major cities and towns. We have delivered cold storage in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Sialkot, Peshawar, Gujranwala, Hyderabad, Quetta, and even remote locations like Skardu and Gwadar. Our installation teams travel nationwide. No project is too far.
