Ensuring Pallet Protection and Streamlined Crate Shipping: A Guide to Essential Products

PackageIt Team • September 12, 2023

When it comes to shipping goods, especially in bulk, pallets and crates play a crucial role in ensuring the safe transportation of products from one location to another. However, the journey from the warehouse to the destination can be met with challenges, including potential damage, shifting, and mishandling. This step is where reliable pallet protection and effective crate shipping solutions come into play. 


You’ll discover a range of products PackageIt offers that can help safeguard your shipments and simplify the process of crate shipping.

Packing Solutions to Protect Your Pallet

More than simply investing in a durable shipping container for your goods, you also need to think about adding an extra layer of protection to ensure that all your products remain safe and intact, despite the long and — sometimes chaotic — journey. 


Below are some of the protection solutions that may be right for your products.


Dunnage Airbag

Dunnage Airbag

Dunnage airbags are a dynamic solution to prevent shifting and damage within your shipments. These inflatable airbags are strategically placed in the gaps between pallets, allowing them to absorb shocks and vibrations during transportation. This strategy not only ensures the integrity of your goods but also reduces the risk of incurring additional shipping costs due to damaged items. 


What’s more, dunnage airbags come in various sizes to accommodate different pallet configurations, making them a versatile addition to your packing arsenal.

Custom Foam Packaging

In terms of protecting fragile or uniquely shaped items, custom foam packaging is an ultimate game-changer. 


This solution involves creating foam inserts that perfectly cradle your products, preventing any movement or contact during transit. The foam inserts are tailor-made to fit your items like a glove, offering unparalleled protection against impact, shocks, and vibrations. 



Whether it’s delicate electronics, glassware, or intricate machinery, custom foam packaging ensures that your items arrive at their destination unscathed.


Some other products that use custom foam for protection include:

  • Food and beverages
  • Medical supplies
  • Military equipment
  • Scientific instruments
  • Industrial equipment

Bubble Air Cushioning

Bubble air cushioning is another classic yet highly effective packing solution. These air-filled bubbles provide an additional layer of cushioning to fragile items. 


Much like the other options, the flexible nature of bubble air cushioning allows it to conform to the contours of your products, creating a protective barrier against external forces. From small, delicate items to larger pieces, bubble air cushioning is your trusted protective solution that can adapt to suit a wide range of packing needs.

PalletTop

One of the latest innovations carried by PackageIt is called PalletTop. This solution is a smart and strategic alternative to expensive wood tops. 


Often, pallets are subjected to various environmental elements during transit, which can lead to damage if left unprotected. PalletTop is pre-formed rectangular edge protection that provides stability and creates more opportunities for customizability. By ensuring comprehensive coverage from the top down, PalletTop guarantees that your goods remain secure and unharmed, regardless of the conditions they encounter.


Corrosion Inhibitors

For shipments that are vulnerable to rust and corrosion, corrosion inhibitors are essential. These inhibitors come in various forms, including films, papers, and coatings, and are designed to create a protective barrier against moisture and atmospheric contaminants. 


By deploying corrosion inhibitors, you can confidently ship metal items, machinery, and equipment without the worry of rust compromising their quality and functionality.

No matter what your packing needs are, you can rest assured that PackageIt has the solutions for your freight.
