The temperature pack is a tubular pouch with an inner wall spaced apart from an outer wall. An opening extending through the tubular pouch, and the inner wall is twisted relative to the outer wall. The temperature pack is formed by rolling a tube onto itself such that the distal ends of the tube are aligned to each other. One distal end is then twisted with respect to the other so as to form a temperature pack having a mobious strip and only one seal. The temperature pack may be filled with a gelatinous solution capable of retaining heat or cold. Alternatively the temperature pack may be filled with particulate material separated from a liquid solvent wherein when the two are mixed an exothermic or endothermic reaction occurs.
