Is Thermal Protection Really Needed For Electronic Shipping?

By May 5, 2015 No Comments

When most people think of thermal shipping protection, they’re thinking of things like fruits, beverages, and other perishables that are obviously impacted by temperature and moisture changes. But the world of consumer electronics can often need help with this issue as well.

Consider some of the following:

  • High temperatures can lead to loss of connectivity in soldered connections, leading to poor performance.
  • High temperatures can influence touchscreens and other input interfaces.
  • Even worse, moisture can lead to rust and other similar problems within an electronic device which could cause poor operation or a completely unusable item

The electronics industry is a multi-billion dollar one, and it’s important that your items are able to reach their destination in the best shape possible. That means arrive on time, but also arriving in good working order. Just one order that’s been damaged by moisture or temperature variations can lead to a reduced reputation in the industry, which in turn can hurt your bottom line – not to mention the cost of replacing those damaged items.

So what options can you utilize? The best choice is passive thermal protection. Electronics aren’t as delicate as perishables and other items, and as a result they are a perfect candidate for the use of passive temperature controls. Things like our thermal pallet covers allow you to get the protection your items deserve without spending thousands of extra dollars.

The covers are designed to fit securely over any shipment of any size. Once in place, they lock in the temperature and moisture levels for the trip. This ensures that they stay level throughout the shipping process, even when the route moves through different climates and over the course of several days. They function similarly to home insulation in that they keep cold and heat out while keeping the right temperature inside. It’s a simple passive system that works great, and that saves you money.

Along with being a cost-effective, reusable solution, passive blankets and cargo shipping systems help give you peace of mind that your shipments are taken care of and that they won’t end up costing you large amounts of money or stress. These solutions have been used for years in the perishable industries, and the rising demand for electronic devices has helped them grow in popularity throughout this industry as well. They’re well worth a look if you’re trying to ship your items anywhere, and could help your bottom line in a big way.
