The integrity of goods is a matter of economic interest, whether in transit or storage. Weather conditions, as well as the circumstances of transportation, can damage the cargo. For this prevention, quickly applicable, cost-effective plastic pallet covers are ideal. They should not only be UV-resistant and protected against rain, but also easy to apply, while safeguarding the goods from mechanical impacts. Our plastic pallet covers offer a quality yet affordable alternative for both indoor and outdoor protection of shipments.
Plastic pallet cover: The versatile packaging product
For the product to function at its best, a unique composition is necessary. For perfect fit, it needs to be flexible yet possess sufficiently high tensile strength.
In addition, in many cases, it is a fundamental requirement to completely isolate moisture from the cargo stored beneath. UV resistance and protection against light are equally important, especially for valuable or light-sensitive shipments.
For effective shielding against external factors, it’s crucial that the plastic pallet cover has the right thickness, which, however, should not hinder easy and quick application.
Where is the plastic pallet cover applied?
These durable plastic pallet covers significantly contribute to protecting and securing cargoes across different industrial uses. They are particularly widespread in the logistics sector, where they serve as essential tools for protecting goods transported on pallets, shielding them from contaminants, scratches, and other mechanical damage during transportation.
Thanks to their waterproof nature, the plastic pallet covers excellently isolate the cargo from humidity and water, which could damage the quality of transported goods.
In the construction industry, these covers are frequently used, especially for outdoor storage of building materials, protecting them from dusty, moist environments. For firewood vendors, they provide ideal protection against weather impacts, such as rain and sunlight. Their success lies in their extremely fast and simple application. Their placement and removal take a short amount of time, thereby optimizing the duration of work processes. In shrinkable designs, they can also stably secure loads weighing more than 1,000 kg as a single unit of cargo.
Besides the areas listed above, they also play an important role in agriculture, where the plastic pallet covers protect against harmful moisture that can degrade the quality of stored crops. This is especially true for feeds, often stored outdoors. Without proper protection, rain and humidity can initiate mold growth, leading to revenue loss. Colored plastic pallet covers also provide the opportunity to discreetly cover light-sensitive or attention-demanding goods.
How to properly apply the plastic pallet cover?
The plastic pallet cover can fully perform its function only if properly applied to the cargo.
The correct application involves:
- Ensure that the cargo is dry. Moisture forming under the plastic pallet cover over time can damage the product.
- Pay attention to choosing the right size. A poorly fitting plastic pallet cover can have reduced insulation capabilities, while a too-tight cover can easily tear. For heat-shrinkable designs, the correct size and thickness are especially important to ensure proper securing of the unit load.
- Strive for an airtight seal. The air layer under the cover, especially in outdoor storage, can expand and contract, which can negatively affect the lifespan of the film.
Sustainable, yet quality plastic pallet covers from Iparifoliak
Iparifoliak’s plastic pallet covers meet all the listed requirements. We produce our products from sustainable regranulate material, which does not compromise the quality of the film.
Awaiting processing regranulate
Our products are manufactured with high UV resistance upon request, which allows for up to two years of outdoor storage. Moreover, they are resistant to rain and various natural challenges.
We offer them in a variety of colors, so depending on the nature of the use, you can choose the color of the plastic pallet covers. If you are transporting or storing in a fire-hazardous environment, you can also request the addition of an antistatic agent. For the overseas container transport of iron industry products, where there is a possibility of oxidation, we enrich the mix with corrosion-inhibitor additives.
