If your cold pack doesn't have a cover on it, I would put Ace bandage on first then cold pack.

A note if you are two hours away from emergency vet, then on route to vet you will need to release compression a bit and check for circulation to the leg. Then rewrap. This is to guard against having the bandage too tight.
