Meilleurs cas d'utilisation
Use this tool when the package size is the main question
Many cold-chain projects fail early because carton liners are too tight, pallet covers do not account for wrap and corner build-up, or the sizing request does not separate usable inner space from finished outside dimensions.
Thermal pallet cover sizing
Use pallet cover mode for palletized freight, transfert aéroport, warehouse dwell, gestion des exportations, outdoor staging, or thermal protection around wrapped bulk cargo.
Carton + pallet-level protection
Use both modes when the shipment needs carton-level insulated liners and a pallet cover for bulk consolidation, tarmac exposure, or warehouse holding risk.
Sizing tool
Build your liner or pallet cover size reference
Enter your carton or pallet-load information below. The tool provides a sizing reference for quotation review. Final specifications should still be confirmed with real cartons, pallet builds, cold-source layout, méthode de fermeture, échantillons, et tests d'itinéraire.
Planning note: Measure actual cartons and pallet loads before production. Include liner thickness, coussin supérieur, chevauchement des rabats, stretch wrap, corner compression, and handling allowance. Pour la glace carbonique, do not specify airtight structures; l'emballage doit permettre la libération des gaz. For pharma or lab lanes, confirm logger placement, Sops, qualification, and validation requirements.
Enter carton or pallet-load dimensions below. The tool returns a sizing reference for RFQ review, not a validated thermal qualification result.

Comment l'utiliser
A simple workflow for liner and pallet cover sizing
Follow these steps when preparing dimensions for the sizing tool. Each step helps build a more complete sizing reference before your RFQ.
| Étape | Que saisir | Pourquoi ça compte |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Choose sizing mode | Select box liner, couverture de palette, les deux, or auto-decision by dimensions. | This separates carton liner projects from pallet cover projects and avoids using pallet-style calculations for small parcel cartons. |
| 2. Enter dimension basis | Use existing carton inner dimensions, required usable payload space, or finished pallet-load outside dimensions. | Usable inner space and finished outside dimensions mean different things; the tool adjusts sizing logic accordingly. |
| 3. Add material and fit assumptions | Enter liner thickness, clearance profile, top overlap or flap allowance, material preference, and cover style. | Épaisseur, autorisation, conception de rabat, and cover style affect fit, vitesse de chargement, fermeture, and sample review. |
| 4. Review route guardrails | Check cold source, outdoor staging, glace carbonique, Pharma, enregistreur, and custom OEM fields. | Cold-chain sizing is not only geometry; route risk and validation needs influence material and design review. |
| 5. Copy the RFQ summary | Use the result summary for custom liner, couverture de palette, échantillon, Quantité minimale de commande, or bulk quote discussion. | A clear dimension summary reduces back-and-forth before production sampling. |
Guide de décision
Box liner, couverture de palette, ou les deux?
The sizing output depends on whether the packaging protects individual cartons, a complete pallet load, or both levels of a cold-chain shipment.
| Profil d'expédition | Likely sizing path | Action suivante |
|---|---|---|
| Small parcel carton, kit repas, épicerie, nourriture fraîche, or pharma sample shipper | Insulated box liner sizing | Calculate liner fit, usable inner space, coussin supérieur, and cold media placement needs. |
| Carton-based e-commerce program with repeated custom sizes | Panel-set or foldable liner reference | Prepare sample dimensions, épaisseur, material grade, flap style, and packing process notes. |
| Wrapped pallet load, transfert aéroport, warehouse dwell, or bulk cold-chain freight | Thermal pallet cover sizing | Calculate cover width, depth/gusset, drop height, skirt allowance, autorisation, and material area. |
| Export route with tarmac, outdoor staging, or customs dwell risk | Couverture de palette + route-risk review | Use Route Risk Checker and confirm reflective layers, résistance à l'humidité, et manipulation des contrôles. |
| Congelé, glace carbonique, or deep-frozen shipment | Insulation sizing + cold source review | Size the liner or cover here, then confirm cold source mass in the Dry Ice Calculator or Ice Pack Calculator. |
| Pharma, vaccin, laboratoire, or high-value regulated shipment | Qualified packaging review path | Use the sizing result as a sample reference, then confirm SOPs, bûcherons de données, qualification, et validation. |
Dimensionnement des règles
Important sizing rules before you request samples
These practical rules help buyers understand the difference between a clean online estimate and a production-ready custom packaging specification.
Do not size every liner or cover too tight
Snug fit can help reduce dead space, but production sizing must still allow for liner thickness, carton tolerance, méthode de chargement, stretch wrap, pallet corner build-up, and repeated manual handling.
Insulation sizing is not cold-source sizing
Box liners and pallet covers slow heat transfer, but they do not replace gel packs, PCM, briques de glace, glace carbonique, transport réfrigéré, or validated cold-source planning.
Use samples before locking production dimensions
Final specifications should be checked with real cartons, pallet builds, cold media, emplacement de l'enregistreur de données, chargement du produit, méthode de fermeture, test d'itinéraire, and production samples.
Result meaning
How to interpret the sizing result
The calculator result is designed to help purchasing, logistique, QA, and supplier teams discuss the same dimensions without confusion.
Liner fit and usable inner space
The result separates carton fit from usable payload space so buyers can understand how liner thickness and top pad choices affect the internal packing area.
Cover width, depth, drop height, and skirt
The result gives a starting reference for a slip cover, full-drop cover, capuchon supérieur, or roll-stock wrap sheet, including practical clearance and handling assumptions.
Route and material review points
The result may flag dry ice venting, rain or sunlight exposure, tarmac staging, pharma logger needs, frozen-lane cold-source review, or custom OEM notes.

Why liner and pallet-cover sizing matters in cold-chain logistics
Cold-chain packaging size is not only a packaging dimension issue. A liner that is too tight can reduce usable space, compress cold packs, create closure problems, or make warehouse packing inconsistent. A pallet cover that is too short or too loose may leave thermal bridges around the load, allow heat gain during staging, or make repeated handling difficult.
For food and fresh products, packaging and temperature control help reduce quality loss during transport. For pharmaceutical and lab shipments, packaging decisions should also support SOPs, surveillance, and qualification work. For air freight or export routes, pallet covers may need to account for tarmac exposure, warehouse dwell, retard douanier, and handling by multiple logistics partners.
Use this tool as a first sizing step, then confirm the final specification with Tempk samples, real pack-out testing, and route-specific review.
FAQ
Box liner and pallet cover sizing FAQs
Common questions from buyers comparing insulated liners, couvertures de palettes, ajustement du carton, and cold-chain packaging options before requesting samples or a custom quote.
Is this a final production specification?
Non. The result is a quotation and planning reference. Final production specifications should be confirmed with real cartons, pallet builds, épaisseur du revêtement, style de fermeture, cold media placement, échantillons, et tests d'itinéraire. For technical documents and test support, revoir Tempk technical documentation.
When should I use box liner sizing?
Use box liner sizing when your shipment uses a corrugated carton or shipping box and needs a foldable foil liner, doublure en mousse, panel set, or insulated insert to reduce heat transfer. This is common for fresh food e-commerce, kits de repas, fruit de mer, chocolat, laitier, médicaments, et échantillons de laboratoire. You can also read Tempk's insulated box liner guide or browse Insulated Box Liner products.
When should I use pallet cover sizing?
Use pallet cover sizing for palletized freight that may face warehouse dwell, airport or tarmac exposure, transbordement, gestion des exportations, outdoor staging, or repeated transfer between logistics partners. Pallet covers help reduce heat gain or heat loss around the full pallet load. Voir Couvertures thermiques de palettes, le Couverture de palette de cargaison isolée, ou le Housse de palette imperméable réutilisable.
Why does clearance matter for liners and pallet covers?
Thermal liners and pallet covers should not be specified too tightly. A proper fit allowance helps account for liner thickness, packs froids, top flaps, stretch wrap, pallet corners, compression, manual loading, and repeatable warehouse handling. If you are not sure which packaging family is right, commencer par le Sélecteur d'emballage.
Does this replace ice pack or dry ice calculation?
Non. This page sizes the insulation structure. You should estimate cold-source needs separately with the Ice Pack Calculator ou Calculateur de glace carbonique, then confirm the complete pack-out with samples and route testing.
Can this sizing tool support pharma or lab shipments?
Oui, as a planning tool. Pharma, biologique, vaccin, and lab lanes should also include SOP review, Placement de l'enregistrement, qualification, and route-risk assessment before final approval.
