Why Winter Weather Is Your Supply Chain's Biggest Threat
Australia's winter brings persistent rain, humidity, and storms that can wreak havoc on goods in transit. Condensation inside containers, leaking truck canopies, and loading dock exposure all put your products at risk. At TigerPak, we help businesses keep their freight dry and damage-free.
How Rain Damages Freight
Moisture doesn't just come from direct rainfall. It creeps in through condensation, humidity, and small gaps in packaging. The result? Collapsed cartons, mould on textiles, rust on metal components, and unreadable labels. Most of this damage is entirely preventable.
Your Waterproof Packaging Toolkit
Stretch Film & Pallet Wrap
Your first defence against moisture. Wrapping pallets tightly creates a waterproof seal during loading, transit, and unloading. Our Powerwrap Stretch Film offers excellent cling and tear resistance, while Black Blown Stretch Film handles heavy, irregular loads with superior puncture resistance.
Tip: Wrap from the base up with 3-4 layers of overlap, especially across the top where water pools.
UV Resistant Stretch Film
If goods spend time outdoors on docks or yards, standard film degrades fast. Our UV Resistant Stretch Film is built for outdoor exposure, available in hand and machine rolls.
Builders Film & Timber Wrap
For large-scale coverage, Builders Film lines truck floors, covers exposed materials, and creates temporary shelters during loading.
Shrink Film for Full Encapsulation
When you need a complete sealed barrier, our Shrink Film conforms tightly around goods. The White PE Shrink Film withstands full weather exposure for 2+ years.
Strapping for Load Security
Wet roads mean more sudden braking. Poly Woven Strapping retains tension long-term, won't rust, and is lighter and safer than metal alternatives.
Quick Winter Freight Checklist
1. Wrap pallets with 3+ layers of stretch film (top and base focus)
2. Use UV-resistant film for anything stored or transported outdoors
3. Strap loads securely with poly strapping
4. Line truck floors with builders film to catch condensation
5. Inspect for tears or gaps before dispatch
