Pallet Covers Remain Popular with Warehousing

September 2, 2008

Pallet covers are made from linear low density polyethylene (LDPE) film.  They are typically manufactured in the same plants that produce smaller poly bags and ziploc baggies.  A pallet cover is an excellent source for protecting your pallets from dust, weather, moisture, rust and corrosion.  They also protect wooden pallets from insects and weathering.  Using pallet covers to separate pallets is a low cost alternative to corrugated boxes.

Pallet covers are packaged by the roll with the number of bags per roll varying depending on the size.  If handled with care the same pallet cover can be used over and over again making this product environmentally friendly.  The same pallet cover can also be used as a bin liner for a large gaylord corrugated container.

The polyethylene film used to manufacture pallet covers are usually made clear which makes product identification easy for trucking and warehouse transport.  Industries that use pallet covers include warehouse fulfillment, food storage, retail, pharmaceuticals, etc.
