Packaging Solutions To Help Shipments Beat The Summer Heat

By April 4, 2023 No Comments

Transporting goods from place to place isn’t necessarily a big deal on most occasions. Instead, shipments often go off without a hitch, and products get to their destinations unscathed. However, there are times when it seems like anything that can go wrong does go wrong.

Heat is one particular factor that can wreak havoc on some items. For example, fruits can wilt and die if they get too hot in the back of a truck. Medications, makeups, wine, and other perishables are just some of the other goods that can be harmed by extreme heat. However, there are many others where these come from, so you could have to protect different items during your career too. Now, the question is, “How do you protect them?”. The following are some solutions worth considering to help shipments beat the summer heat.

Insulated Shipping Boxes

Sometimes, companies ship packages through the mail. That means their products could be subjected to extreme heat at various locations, like inside trucks, warehouses, and mail boxes. If that’s something you worry about as a business owner, have you considered packing your packing items inside insulated shipping boxes? SureTemp Premium Box Liners fit inside or around standard UPS, USPS, and FedEx boxes.

So, it’s easy enough to create insulated shipping boxes when the need arises. But what if the products you need to send won’t fit inside standard boxes? The double bubble liners are available in custom sizes. Therefore, you can turn boxes of any size into insulated shipping boxes. These units are lightweight and offer protection items protection from heat and cold.

Tarmac Temperature Protection

Many companies have to ship their products by pallet on planes. There’s nothing wrong with this, but it isn’t uncommon for pallets to get left out on tarmacs for extended periods while they get loaded and unloaded from vehicles. As you can imagine, those hot temps and UV rays can ruin numerous goods.

If this is a concern of yours, invest in SureTemp Premium Pallet Covers to put it to rest. These coverings are lightweight, easy to install, and available in single-use or multiple-use designs. The covers are oversized and fit standard pallets. However, custom sizes are also available.
