The facts behind our cooling solutions
Optimal protection of temperature-sensitive shipments during air transport
Why pallet covers are essential for air freight
During air freight transport, pallets are often exposed to significant temperature fluctuations, wind, moisture, and extended waiting times on airport tarmacs. Pallet covers for air freight offer a practical and reliable solution to protect sensitive products—such as pharmaceutical goods, food products, or chemicals—from these external influences.
At Coolpack.nl, we offer a specialized range of thermal pallet covers tailored to the specific requirements of air freight transport. These covers combine lightweight construction, high insulation value, and durable material use—making them suitable for a wide variety of applications, from single-use flights to reusable logistics systems.
Thermal insulation and protection against weather conditions
The covers are made up of multiple layers of insulating material, often featuring a reflective aluminum foil or a similar insulating structure. This creates a barrier against sunlight, heat, cold, and rain—helping to preserve product quality during transport.
Typical applications include:
- Pharmaceutical products with strict temperature thresholds
- Food products that must not spoil during loading or transshipment
- Entire pallets temporarily stored outdoors or in unheated environments
- Medical products or delicate goods where temperature stability is crucial
These covers help ensure product integrity, even in air freight scenarios involving multiple transfer points or extended delays.
Lightweight and air freight-ready
One of the key advantages of the covers we offer is their low weight per unit—crucial for air freight, where weight has a direct impact on transport costs. Thanks to the use of lightweight insulating materials, such as durable nylon or aluminum bubble structures, the covers can be easily applied to the pallet without adding significant extra load.
In addition, the covers are easy to handle and reusable. They are suitable for both standard pallets and custom configurations, depending on the size of the shipment and the required level of insulation.
Sustainable and efficient solution
Our pallet covers align perfectly with today’s standards for sustainability and CO₂ reduction. By protecting products with a reusable cover, you reduce product loss and limit reliance on energy-intensive active cooling systems.
These covers help lower your ecological footprint while increasing efficiency during air transport. Especially for shipments with strict customer specifications or pharmaceutical goods requiring temperature monitoring, our covers provide a dependable additional layer of protection.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pallet Covers for Air Freight
Why are thermal pallet covers important in air freight?Waarom zijn thermische pallethoezen belangrijk in luchtvracht?
Air freight comes with unique risks, such as sudden temperature fluctuations on the tarmac or inside non-climate-controlled cargo holds. A pallet cover prevents sensitive products—such as pharmaceuticals or food items—from being exposed to these conditions. This is crucial for maintaining product quality during intercontinental flights or extended transit times.
What is the advantage of a pallet cover compared to active cooling?
Active cooling systems are not always available or practical in air transport. Our thermal covers offer a passive solution with low own weight, adding no significant load while providing a reliable temperature barrier—without relying on electricity, dry ice, or vehicle-specific refrigeration.
Are the covers lightweight enough for air freight use?
Yes. Weight is a critical factor in air freight. Our covers are specifically designed for this purpose and made from lightweight, insulating materials such as multi-layer foils with reflective properties. They place minimal load per pallet, helping to keep air freight costs under control.
How do the covers fit standard air freight pallet dimensions?
Our standard covers fit seamlessly over air freight-ready pallets such as Euro pallets and block pallets. For non-standard loads or oversized products, we also offer custom-made covers tailored to the required height and width—without compromising insulation value or logistical efficiency.
Do products really stay at temperature in the cargo hold?
Our covers are designed to slow down temperature deviation in situations where climate control is lacking—such as during airport storage, transshipment, or within the aircraft hold. When combined with EPP cooling boxes or cooling elements, they create a layered protection system that meets the demands of international air freight logistics.
Are the pallet covers suitable for pharmaceutical air freight?
Absolutely. Our covers are frequently used for GDP-compliant air freight of pharmaceutical products. They help maintain a specific temperature range—such as +2°C to +8°C or +15°C to +25°C—depending on the product and the chosen internal packaging system.
Can the covers be reused for return shipments or circular flows?
Yes. The covers are designed for repeated use and retain their performance even after multiple international shipments. This makes them ideal for return logistics or situations where air freight is part of a fixed supply chain between customer and supplier.
Applications and integration with other solutions
Coolpack not only supplies thermal covers but also complementary products such as EPP cooling boxes, which can be placed on pallets or used as added protection inside the cover. This combination of passive insulation components and an external barrier creates a complete thermal packaging solution for use in the air freight chain.
Thanks to our expertise in chilled logistics, we can advise customers on the optimal combination of protection layers—tailored to their product type, shipping route, and required temperature profile.
