The cosmetics industry has gone through a lot of changes over the decades, but it’s still worth billions and men as well as women continue to use beauty care products to improve their appearance and their self-confidence. However, despite all the effort that goes into making sure that each product is carefully formulated and packaged to provide the best results to customers, there’s something else that has to be managed – shipping.
Cosmetics aren’t thought of as frequently as fruits and perishables when it comes to shipping and the impact that temperatures can have on them, but they’re very susceptible to temperature fluctuations. Freezing temps can cause the products to expand in the packaging and could have chemical impacts as well, changing the overall quality of the product. Heat is no better, and melted cosmetics are worthless.
In short, if your cosmetic shipment goes through dramatic temperature changes it could impact your profits significantly. Damaged products will be returned, and your company will take a significant loss as a result. It’s better to control temperatures and ensure that your cosmetics arrive in perfect condition every time.
Controlling temperatures should be done in a cost-effective manner that is also able to give you consistent results. Items like our Thermal Pallet Covers can be the solution that you need, and provide numerous benefits. Here’s how they work and how they help you.
- In the summer, the thermal covers keep the inside of the shipment cool by reflecting sunlight and minimizing temperature changes. If a pallet is left on a loading dock, the sun won’t melt all of the cosmetics. Instead, the covers will reflect the sun and keep the temperature ideal.
- During the winter months, the covers trap existing warmth underneath and keep the cosmetics safe from freezing temperatures.
- These covers are reusable as well, which means that one investment will give you years of use, making them a solid investment that is much more affordable than active temperature controls.
- They’re perfect for the less than a truckload shipments that many of today’s companies have to ship out.
- Moisture is also managed through the use of these covers, and they can help prevent higher levels of moisture to penetrate your packaging leading to damaged products or the plastic covers that look ‘bubbly’ due to condensation and moisture content.
Simply put, your cosmetics need to be protected and you don’t have to spend a fortune to give them that level of protection. The points above should help you understand why passive temperature control is such a good idea.
