Protect temperature-sensitive freight from extreme ambient heat and cold with lightweight, flexible insulated cargo blankets made with IPC’s reflective foil-bubble insulation. Designed for fast application, compact storage, and custom sizing, these blankets provide a practical way to add thermal protection throughout transportation and handling.
Protect temperature-sensitive products against extreme ambient temperatures with a lightweight, collapsible insulated box liner designed for refrigerated shipments up to 24 hours.
IPC Insulated Cargo Blankets provide a lightweight, flexible layer of thermal protection for palletized and bulk shipments exposed to changing ambient temperatures. Made with reflective metalized films and air-bubble insulation, the blankets help reduce radiant and conductive heat transfer while shielding temperature-sensitive products from excessive heat and cold during transportation and handling.
They are designed for applications where rigid insulation or refrigerated transportation may not be practical, providing a simple way to add thermal protection around larger loads.
The reflective outer layer helps reduce radiant heat transfer while the bubble insulation contributes thermal resistance. This combination helps protect temperature-sensitive cargo from ambient temperature extremes.
Blankets arrive folded, allowing them to occupy less storage space before use and making them easier to stage for shipping operations.
The flexible blanket can be unfolded and positioned over a palletized or bulk shipment without a complicated installation process, helping reduce packaging labor.
IPC can manufacture insulated cargo blankets to suit specific shipment dimensions and application requirements.
The reflective material can help reduce exposure to light and solar radiation, providing an additional layer of protection for sensitive cargo.
The existing IPC material specification describes the CooLiner construction as a low-cost, single-use insulation solution. End-of-life handling should be based on the actual material configuration and local recycling availability.
Insulated Cargo Blankets use IPC’s CooLiner foil-bubble insulation construction, combining metalized reflective films with engineered air bubbles. The reflective surface helps reduce radiant heat transfer, while the air-bubble layer contributes thermal resistance against conductive heat transfer
Metalized foil surfaces reflect radiant heat, helping reduce heat transfer and protect temperature-sensitive cargo.
Air-filled bubbles create an insulating layer that helps resist conductive heat transfer while keeping the blanket lightweight and flexible.
Available in multiple insulation configurations with defined material, thickness, weight, and thermal performance specifications.
Manufactured to your required dimensions to provide the appropriate coverage for pallets, containers, bulk cargo, and other shipping configurations.
Different shipments require different levels of thermal protection. IPC Insulated Cargo Blankets are available in multiple insulation options and can be custom manufactured to suit your cargo dimensions, temperature requirements, transit duration, and handling environment.
Streamlined for reduced costs
A lighter configuration designed for applications where a more economical insulation option is preferred.
Designed for 24-hour refrigerated shipments
The standard single-bubble configuration provides thermal protection for carton-sized refrigerated shipments requiring up to 24 hours of protection.
Dual-layer insulation for increased protection
The double-bubble configuration uses two bubble layers and is described by IPC as providing 20% better protection than the single-bubble configuration.
Proven Performance in Real-World Cold-Chain Conditions
IPC tests its thermal packaging solutions to evaluate their ability to protect temperature-sensitive cargo under controlled environmental conditions. Testing of CooLiner cargo blankets demonstrates their ability to limit temperature exposure during extended periods of extreme heat and cold.

Insulated Cargo Blankets are designed to integrate easily into pallet and bulk-shipping workflows. The flexible material can be unfolded, positioned around the shipment, secured, and prepared for transportation with minimal installation effort.
Confirm the palletized or bulk load is ready and that the selected blanket configuration and dimensions are appropriate for the shipment. Unfold the blanket and prepare it for application.
Position the insulated blanket over the temperature-sensitive shipment, ensuring the material provides appropriate coverage around the load.
Pull the blanket into position around the shipment and secure the configured closure or fastening method. Check that the protected area is appropriately covered.
Once the blanket is secured, the protected shipment can move into the appropriate transportation or handling workflow.
They are designed to help protect palletized, bulk, and other large-format temperature-sensitive shipments from excessive heat and cold during transportation and handling.
The CooLiner foil-bubble construction combines reflective metalized films with an air-bubble layer. The reflective surface helps reduce radiant heat transfer while the bubble structure contributes resistance to conductive heat transfer.
Performance depends on the blanket configuration and shipment conditions. The existing IPC cargo blanket testing demonstrates thermal protection extending beyond six days under the tested conditions, while the supplied CooLiner specification lists 24-hour thermal protection. Application-specific performance should therefore be evaluated based on payload, ambient conditions, starting temperature, configuration, and transit duration.
IPC offers Lite, Single Bubble, and Double Bubble configurations.
Yes. IPC specializes in custom manufacturing to suit specific shipment, pallet, container, and application requirements.
Yes. Their flexible construction allows them to arrive folded, reducing the storage footprint compared with bulkier rigid insulation.
Yes. The reflective foil-bubble construction is designed to help reduce temperature exposure from both high and low ambient conditions.
The CooLiner material is generally positioned as a low-cost, single-use solution. Actual reuse depends on the material condition, configuration, and application requirements.
They can be useful for applications where different temperature-sensitive loads are transported within the same shipping environment, provided the overall shipping configuration is appropriate.
Provide the cargo or pallet dimensions, product type, temperature requirements, expected transit duration, ambient conditions, and any specific handling or closure requirements. IPC can then help determine an appropriate configuration.
Every shipment has different dimensions, temperature requirements, transit conditions, and handling challenges. Tell IPC about your application and our team can help determine the appropriate insulated cargo blanket configuration, size, and material options.
