Companies today need to maintain the highest possible reputation in order to continue building solid word of mouth, keep their clients and customers content and loyal, and grow in whatever ways they can. And one of the areas that can often present the biggest challenges can be that of keeping shipments stable and intact.
While you can control your products while they’re in the warehouse, once they hit the road and are being shipped they’re out of your control entirely. However, one thing that you can gain some control over is the temperature that your products are shipped under.
Temperatures can have a tremendous impact on the viability and quality of any shipment. And when you think about the fact that if a shipment arrives damaged you’ll not only have to deal with a hit to your reputation but with heavy costs associated with reshipping new products and dealing with the returns, it isn’t hard to see why protecting against temperature related damage is so important.
Freezing or very high temps can ruin or damage almost anything including:
- Produce
- Beverages
- Beer
- Wine
- Electronics
- Cosmetics
- And more
It’s important to keep any shipment protected, but what you might not realize is that you don’t necessarily need to spend a fortune on expensive climate controlled trailers that can only increase complexities in shipping due to potential failure.
Instead, you can utilize passive control measures like our thermal pallet covers and get protection for your shipment that you can actually rely on. These covers work simply by creating an insulating layer over your shipment. This helps shield the shipment from heat or cold, maintaining a constant temperature even as your products move through different climates.
The benefits of passive temperature control are numerous and include the following:
- Less expensive
- No mechanical parts to fail
- Able to be reused multiple times over many years
- Reliable
- Easy to set up and use
- Defends against heat or cold
Simply put, it makes sense to look into a passive solution for your shipping needs. When you consider the expense that can come with climate controlled trailers and the fact that they can sometimes break down, and when you think about the loss of reputation that you deal with if a product arrives damaged and the heavy costs that come with that, it becomes clear that a good passive control measure isn’t an expense, it’s an investment that could help you in a big way.
