Sustainable Temperature Protection For Wine Shipments

By September 29, 2020 No Comments

Many people love a good glass of wine. Some folks consume the beverage nightly with meals, while others drink it on special occasions. However, what they don’t like is ordering a bottle that is supposed to be tasty and refreshing, only to discover that it is anything and everything but those things. Nothing good comes from wines being exposed to extreme temperatures. Often, the corks of the containers shrink during transport. Then, the air is allowed to get inside the bottle with the wine. That can cause the flavor, smell, and color of the wine to change, and not in a nice way. Hence, transporters and sellers must think outside of the box to find ways to keep the temperature inside trailers stable and minimize temperature excursions, like with insulated freezer blankets.

The remaining sections will discuss two products that can help you accomplish those feats. They both could be perfect for your company, so stick around and read on to learn more.

1. Insulated Freezer Blankets

Insulated freezer blankets are designed for full truck loads. The coverings’ outer shells are heavy-gauge woven polyethylene, which is heat-sealed to poly-coated aluminum foil for durability. Meanwhile, synthetic hollow fibers are at the core of the insulated freezer blankets. Drivers can arrange loads to create temperature zones inside their trailers and keep wines safe. The covers are reusable, which is a big draw to consumers as they can serve them well for years. Installation kits are available that make installing the units a breeze.

Interested parties can also have the blankets constructed in custom sizes. Don’t fret if your trailer or cold container measures a bit different than most because we have you covered. Thermal quilt insulation is an excellent choice for protecting wines from hot and cold conditions alike.

2. Pallet Covers

SureTemp Thermal Pallet Covers keep temperature excursions at bay when it comes to air and less-than-load (LTL) shipments. There are three models available in the Elite Line: 150 GSM, 300 GSM, and 450 GSM. Some features are different between them, but others are the same. For starters, all of the coverings protect against heat and cold. They are lightweight, reusable, and easy to install. They are reusable and can be purchased in custom sizes as well.

Pallet covers are perfect for occasions where only one or two pallets need protection. They can help wines reach their destinations in the best condition.
