Durable polythene pallet top sheets

Protects goods during transport and storage, providing a barrier against moisture, dust and dirt.


Polythene top sheets are thin, flexible plastic covers used to protect the top of palletised goods from dust, moisture and other contaminants during storage or transportation.



Polythene top sheets are typically made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), a durable, flexible plastic known for its moisture-resistant properties.



Using polythene top sheets helps protect palletised goods from environmental factors like dust, dirt and moisture, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring product quality.



While polythene top sheets are generally designed for single use, they can be reused if they remain undamaged and free from contaminants after the initial use.



Polythene top sheets come in various sizes to fit different pallet dimensions. Common sizes include 1800x1800mm and 1800x1500mm, though custom sizes can be made to order.



Yes, polythene top sheets can be customised in terms of size, thickness and colour. Some manufacturers also offer options for printed logos or branding.



The thickness of polythene top sheets is measured in microns or mils, with common thicknesses ranging from 50 to 150 microns. The appropriate thickness depends on the level of protection required and the nature of the goods being covered.



Polythene top sheets can be recycled if disposed of properly. Some manufacturers offer sheets made from recycled materials to reduce environmental impact.



Polythene top sheets can be applied manually by placing them on top of the pallet load or they can be used in conjunction with automated wrapping machines that secure the sheet in place.



Macfarlane Packaging offers a wide range of polythene pallet top sheets including extra light, standard and heavy duty, as well as clear and black options.
