Shipping and airfreighting fresh fruit and sensitive cargo correctly is essential to preserving their quality, nutritional value, and marketability. With our solutions see a reduction in heat exposure, and less exposure to excess humidity that could affect your product’s integrity.
Here’s why proper transport matters:
Temperature Control for Freshness
Fruits are highly perishable and require consistent temperatures to avoid spoilage. Stella’s thermal pallet covers, and container liners act as a passive insulation barrier, reflecting external heat and minimizing temperature fluctuations. This is especially critical in air freight and non-refrigerated container transport, where sudden thermal spikes can quickly degrade product quality.
Moisture & Condensation Management
Our covers and liners are built with breathable or vapor-resistant materials, depending on the produce type and transit conditions. This helps maintain ideal humidity levels—preventing mold growth in high-moisture environments and avoiding dehydration during long hauls.
Physical Protection During Handling
Delicate fruits are vulnerable to pressure damage, especially during pallet movement or loading. Stella’s multi-layered pallet jackets cushion the cargo and reduce the risk of bruising, deformation, or surface breakdown—ensuring your products arrive in premium condition.
Ethylene Gas Considerations
While pallet covers do not directly regulate ethylene, they can help isolate sensitive fruit varieties and act as a barrier to minimize cross-exposure during short-term consolidated shipping or storage. This helps slow ripening and reduces spoilage when ethylene-producing and ethylene-sensitive fruits share a shipment.
Regulatory & Food Safety Compliance
Our materials comply with food-contact safety standards and support hygienic handling. Thermal liners and pallet covers can be supplied with custom labelling, supporting traceability, export documentation, and retail-ready safety checks.
Year-Round Market Reach & Shelf-Life Extension
By maintaining stable temperature and humidity conditions, Stella’s pallet and liner solutions preserve fruit quality across seasonal and international routes, giving exporters and retailers greater flexibility and helping meet consumer demand—no matter the time of year.
