    Abstract: A temperature-controlled shipper may comprise a temperature-controlled enclosure, a tray, an outer enclosure, and a lid, wherein the tray may be securely coupled to the temperature-controlled enclosure to resist tampering with a payload located in the temperature-controlled enclosure. The secure coupling of the temperature-controlled enclosure and the tray may be achieved using securely fastened or attached loops on both the temperature-controlled enclosure and the tray, wherein each tamper-resistant tie is secured after looping through one loop on the temperature-controlled enclosure and one loop on the tray to prevent access to the payload.
