Issues That Can Occur With Summertime Beverage Shipments

By June 20, 2020 No Comments

All sorts of items, including beverages, were already being ordered online and shipped to peoples’ doorsteps before the COVID-19 pandemic occurred. However, now that more and more citizens are trying to stay home to avoid becoming infected, even more beverage shipments are going out. Consumers are buying bottled waters, sodas, sports drinks, and plenty of other similar products via the World Wide Web. As such, shippers need to take appropriate measures to protect those goods from the heat in the summertime including using tarmac temperature protection.

If the liquids inside the containers get too hot, they could start to boil. That might cause the bottles, cans, or other types of containers to burst. In such cases, the drinks will seep out, which could lead to quite a sticky mess if sugar is part of the equation. Meanwhile, when wines are subjected to extreme heat for extended periods, their tastes and flavors can change, and not in a good way. Regardless of what type of drinks a company is transporting, there are a couple of products that managers should consider looking into to safeguard them from heat.

Tarmac Temperature Protection

Sustainable temperature protection for beverage shipments is attainable through pallet covers. Many times, pallets full of goods get left outside on tarmacs while planes are being organized and loaded. The sun beats down on the items, which can prove harmful if they are beverages, foods, electronics, or medications. SureTemp pallet covers are perfect for when only one or two pallets need tarmac temperature protection.

The outer shells of these coverings are heavy-gauge woven polyethylene, which is heat-sealed to poly-coated aluminum foil. Meanwhile, the blankets have synthetic hollow fibers at their cores. All of those features combine to provide organizations with the excellent tarmac temperature protection that they seek. The pallet covers are lightweight, easy to install, and reusable.

SureTemp Container Blankets

On many occasions, beverages are shipped across the country inside cold containers or trailers on the back of big rigs. Owner-operators and logistic managers who want to protect those shipments from the heat can’t go wrong in using SureTemp Container Blankets for their trucks or fleets. The coverings also feature outer shells of heavy-gauge woven polyethylene heat-sealed to poly-coated aluminum foil. Like the pallet covers, these blankets have inner cores consisting of synthetic hollow fibers. They are perfect for sustainable temperature protection.
