Pallet Shrouds

The terms pallet shroud and pallet cover are often used interchangeably. Both refer to protective film or poly enclosures placed over palletized goods. Some suppliers distinguish them by shape or application method — shrouds may refer to open-bottom covers, while covers can be fitted — but functionally both protect loads from dust, moisture, and handling damage.

Pallet shrouds are most commonly made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) or linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) film. These materials offer flexibility, puncture resistance, and moisture protection. Shrouds are available in varying thicknesses (measured in mil or microns) depending on the level of protection required for the load and storage environment.

Yes. Pallet shrouds are designed to work in conjunction with other packaging materials such as stretch film, strapping, and corner boards. Using a shroud as an outer layer before applying stretch wrap adds an additional barrier against dust and moisture, providing more comprehensive protection for palletized goods during storage and transit.

Pallet shrouds are widely used in food and beverage manufacturing, consumer goods, general industrial, and warehousing operations. Companies handling products sensitive to dust, humidity, or contamination — such as packaged foods, electronics, and building materials — rely on pallet shrouds to maintain product integrity throughout the supply chain.

Choosing the right pallet shroud size depends on your pallet dimensions and load height. Standard shrouds are designed to fit 40x48 inch pallets, but custom sizes are available. Measure the width, depth, and height of your loaded pallet and select a shroud with adequate coverage. Contact Skid Management Services for guidance on the best fit for your application.
