Some types of cargo, such as food or beverages, are delicate and particularly vulnerable to prolonged temperature exposure beyond their optimal range. In some cases, this can be inconvenient for retailers, as it may mean products arrive in a rotting state. In other cases, it may be a detriment to consumers, as it could mean the efficacy of a medical product, for example, has been compromised and doesn’t provide the expected performance. This is why temperature maintenance can be crucial for specific types of logistics, and insulated freezer blankets can sometimes be the solution a business needs.
Fast & Easy
A freezer blanket is exactly what it sounds like. This is a large sheet of layered materials that has been designed and constructed to provide a stable environment for whatever it covers. This means that whether the environmental temperature is hotter or colder than the recommended temperature for a product, that product stays at its optimal temperature under the blanket. Insulated freezer blankets are capable of helping to maintain this temperature for hours, even when removed from active, environmentally controlled areas such as refrigeration units.
Insulated freezer blankets are extremely easy to apply. Some types of passive protection require that products be snugly wrapped before they receive any temperature protection benefits. While it’s certainly possible to do this with insulated freezer blankets, they can also be simply draped over a product—such as when placed in a truck trailer—and then secured at the edges so they don’t shift during transport.
Sustainable Solutions
Insulated freezer blankets are not just effective; they are also durable. This means that if they are properly maintained, they are a reusable investment that can protect temperature-sensitive products across multiple shipments. This provides two key benefits for businesses. As a sustainable solution, this minimizes the environmental impact of waste, as it doesn’t have to be immediately disposed of upon use. More importantly, however, this is a longer-term investment that provides more value to business owners as a solution that can be repeatedly used with reliable performance and protection. Insulated freezer blankets in good working condition can be used to protect shipments for years, providing great value for the investment.
