Sure Temp® Reversible Pallet Cover with Black Nylon/Aluminum outer linings is our most versatile and reliable passive temperature protection pallet cover designed for LTL or FTL protection against both cold and heat.

This reversible pallet cover combines thermal efficiency for cold protection when using the heat absorbent black nylon material on the outside and reversed for heat protection when used with the reflective, reinforced pure aluminum foil on the outside.

A hollow-fiber insulating fill, available in different fill weights/lofts is also used to add thermal protection for both uses. The durable, outer black nylon and reinforced pure aluminum foil linings are designed to makes this pallet cover excellent for re-use.
