Bespoke Polythene Pallet Covers – UK Manufacturer

Elite Plastics manufactures bespoke polythene pallet covers designed to protect palletised goods during storage, handling and transport. Produced in the UK to your exact size and specification, our pallet covers offer a reliable, cost‑effective solution for keeping products clean, dry and secure throughout the supply chain.

With over 35 years’ experience manufacturing polythene packaging, we supply pallet covers to customers across food, industrial, construction, logistics and retail sectors.

What Are Pallet Covers?

Pallet covers are loose or shrinkable polythene covers fitted over palletised goods to provide protection against moisture, dust, dirt and external contamination. They are commonly used where goods are stored outdoors, moved between sites, exported, or require temporary protection during handling.

All of our pallet covers are manufactured to order, ensuring a precise fit for your pallet size and load height.

Shrink vs Non‑Shrink Pallet Covers

We manufacture both shrink and non‑shrink pallet covers, depending on your application:

Shrink Pallet Covers

  • Heat‑shrunk for a tight, secure fit

  • Improved load stability

  • Ideal for export, outdoor storage and long‑distance transport

  • Helps prevent movement and wind lift

Non‑Shrink (Loose Fit) Pallet Covers

  • Simple, cost‑effective protection

  • Quick to apply and remove

  • Ideal for internal storage or short‑term protection

  • Suitable where shrink equipment is not available

Our technical team can advise on the most suitable option based on your handling process and environment.

Printed and branded pallet covers are available (subject to minimum order quantities), including logos, handling instructions and identification text.
