And, taking home the Gold award, was InsulCap Thermal Pallet Covers and Insulated Bubble Cushioning by Wilpak Group International and Sealed Air Australia.

About the Gold winner:

InsulCap thermal pallet covers are designed to safeguard temperature-sensitive goods, like pharmaceuticals, from temperature spikes at various risk points throughout the supply chain such as on the tarmac, during warehousing or cross-docking.

Conforming to US Military standards, which stipulates no compromise to a material’s insulating properties across a range of airplane cabin pressures, InsulCap’s reliable performance has driven its growth in the global pharmaceutical market.

InsulCap utilises Sealed Air’s insulated bubble cushioning to deliver the right temperature assurance and compliance required across the supply chain. Comprising seven layers, InsulCap maintains temperature assurance by slowing the transfer of all heat sources, radiant, convective, and conductive heat.

InsulCap thermal pallet covers can reduce fuel and transport costs as they are lightweight and, in some instances, such as for short-haul transportation by road, they can replace the need for refrigerated trucks. InsulCap weights up to 5x less than similar thermal pallet covers.

Insulcap is flat packed and efficient for transportation and warehousing and is optimised for double pallet stacking to improve freight efficiencies.
