Pallet Covers vs Pallet Cover Tarp What Are The Main Differences?

The primary difference between a pallet cover and a pallet tarp are three things. The three main differences are materials used, the longevity of the cover, and cost between a cover and tarp.

The Material Used In Covers & Tarps: We offer the less expensive alternative of Pallet Cover made from Low Density Polyethylene. Pallet Cover Tarps are typically made from woven polyester.

Longevity: The longevity of Low Density Polyethylene, as well as woven poly can be influenced by a variety of factors like UVI, moisture and extreme temperatures. Additives like a UV Blocker can be added to LDPE to extend the life of the material allowing some pallet covers to be more reusable. Generally, Plastic Pallet Covers will cover your items as a dust shield for years in a controlled environment.

Cost: Plastic pallet covers give you more bang for your buck, especially since they are reusable and basically last the same amount of time that woven poly tarps last as long as they are appropriately used.
