What are pallet boxes / pallet shippers ?

Pallet boxes or pallet shippers are cardboard boxes which are made to the size of a pallet, a Euro pallet (80x120cm) or a block pallet (100x120cm) or tailor made dimensions. 

The pallet boxes or pallet shippers have all kind of shapes depending on the producer and can be tailor made according to the wishes of the customer. The advantage of using pallet boxes or pallet shippers is that the goods which are loaded in the pallet box are protected in transport.

.
Insulation for pallet boxes / pallet shippers

When temperature sensitive products are shipped with pallet boxes or pallet shippers, the pallet box could be foreseen with insulation material transforming the pallet box in an insulated pallet box. When the pallet box is insulated, the pallet box functions as a passive cooling system in the cold chain meaning that the temperature of the temperature sensitive products it protected from the unwanted external or outer temperatures due to the insulation material. The time preservation of the temperature will be depending on the insulation quality of the used insulation material. These insulated pallet shippers or pallet boxes are used for the transport of temperature sensitive food, perishables, pharmaceuticals or medicines, chemicals, etc…

.
Single use or multiple use

When insulation materials are foreseen in pallet shippers or pallet boxes the choice could be made for a single use or multiple use application depending on the logistic process. Single use insulation materials are used just one time so the ecological footprint of the material needs to be taken into consideration. Multiple use insulation materials are used more often which also means that a return flow from the receiver of the goods to the sender needs to be orginised.

.
Tailor made productions

The company Krautz – Temax is developer and producer of special insulated pallet boxes and pallet shippers for single use and multiple use applications in which the pallet box and insulation materials are tailor made according to the required temperature preservation and logistic process.

 Models and designs
.
 1. "Pre-build-box" Pre-produced and fixed insulated pallet boxes

With the pre-produced pallet box as shown below, the pallet box (A) is pre-produced with the insulation material (B) and optional with additional shelves (C) for extra cooling as ice-packs (E). This means that the pallet box is ready to be used. The implemented insulation materials are available in different insulation qualities depending on the pay-load volume and the required temperature preservation.

     A = pallet box
     B = Insulation
     C = storage for ice-packs

D = goods / products E = Ice-packs Closing the door, sealing it and ready for shipment
.
 2. "Re-use-box" Multiple use and self fix insulated pallet box

This insulated pallet box as shown below is a multiple use system which is not pre-produced as a box but is produced as flat plates which need to be assembled at the shipper. The plates being the bottom, the roof and the sides are produced out of polyethylene plates on which the insulation material is glued. The plates also have build-in placement borders so all the cold bridges are totally closed as the box is assembled. The implemented insulation materials are available in different insulation qualities depending on the pay-load volume and the required temperature preservation. When the pallet box arrives at the receiver of the goods, the receiver can dismantle the box back to flat plates so the return flow does not take a lot of volume.

 3. "Fold cover" Loose pre-produced insulated cover for pallet boxes

In this design as shown below, the insulation material is pre-produced as a cover which is placed on the inside of a pallet box or pallet shipper. The sides of the folded cover are larger than the dimensions of the pallet box so when closed, the cold bridges at the top can be sealed. The fold cover for pallet boxes is pre-produced as a flat plate and can easily be unfolded in the pallet box for usage. The implemented insulation materials are available in different insulation qualities depending on the pay-load volume and the required temperature preservation.

 4. Loose insulated thermal blankets for pallet boxes

This last design as shown below the pallet box or pallet shipper is insulated with loose insulation materials. These loose insulation materials can easily be cut from the standard rolls. The advantage hereby is that the insulation material can be used for all kind of sizes of different pallet boxes so no tailor made productions are required. When usage this way of working it is important that the insulation material is overlapping in all the edges so potential cold bridges are closed. At the top it is also important to create an overlap to there are no gabs or opening in the insulation when the pallet box is closed.
