Paper Blankets
Paper Blankets (Pallet Top Sheets / Interleaving Sheets) are a simple, cost-effective way to protect goods in transit and storage. Designed to sit over the top of a pallet load or between layers, these large-format paper sheets help reduce scuffing, dust contamination and light surface damage while improving presentation and handling.
Because they’re supplied as flat sheets, Paper Blankets are quick to apply: place one on the pallet top before stretch wrapping, or insert between product layers during stacking. They’re widely used across warehousing, distribution and manufacturing environments where a clean, disposable protective layer is preferred.
Key Features
Fast pallet-top protection:
Add a protective cover in seconds before wrapping to help shield products from dust and light abrasion.
Interleaving between layers:
Use as a separator sheet to reduce rubbing and marking when stacking cartons, packs or components.
Improves load presentation:
A neat top sheet can help keep pallet loads looking tidy for dispatch, retail back-of-house or customer deliveries.
Disposable and easy to handle:
Paper sheets are straightforward to remove and dispose of at the destination, supporting quick turnaround.
Versatile across industries:
Suitable for general warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, e-commerce fulfilment and many other packing operations.
- Protects pallet loads from dust and light surface scuffs
- Separates layers to reduce friction and marking
- Supports cleaner handling during picking, wrapping and transport
- Helps maintain a professional, consistent pallet appearance
Typical Uses
- Top sheets under stretch wrap to keep pallet loads clean
- Interlayer sheets between cartons, trays or packs
- Temporary surface protection during storage and internal movement
- General-purpose packing protection where a flat sheet is required
Paper Blankets — Full Product Guide
Paper Blankets are large-format protective paper sheets used in palletising and packing operations. They’re commonly applied as a pallet top sheet (placed on the top of a load before wrapping) or as an interleaving sheet (placed between layers of product). The goal is simple: provide a clean barrier that helps reduce dust, scuffing and minor surface damage while keeping loads looking consistent and well-presented.
How It Works
When goods are stacked on a pallet, movement during handling and transport can cause rubbing between layers, and exposed top surfaces can pick up dust or marks. A Paper Blanket acts as a sacrificial layer:
- As a top sheet: it covers the upper surface of the load so the stretch film contacts the paper rather than the product packaging.
- As an interlayer: it separates stacked layers to reduce friction and help prevent scuffs or transfer marks.
In many operations, this small addition can improve the condition of goods on arrival and reduce rework caused by cosmetic damage.
Materials and Construction
These sheets are supplied as flat paper “blankets” intended for protective use in packing and palletising. Paper is a popular choice because it is lightweight, easy to handle, and disposable after use. It also provides a clean barrier between products and external contaminants.
Floor Type Compatibility
Paper Blankets are used on the pallet load itself rather than as a floor covering, so they’re compatible with typical warehouse environments and handling methods. They can be applied at packing benches, on pallet build stations, or in dispatch areas where pallets are wrapped and labelled.
Health and Safety
Good handling practice helps keep packing areas safe and efficient:
- Store sheets flat and dry to keep them easy to separate and apply.
- Lift and place sheets with care to avoid catching corners on nearby loads or equipment.
- Keep walkways clear of loose sheets and offcuts to reduce slip and trip risks.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Paper Blankets are a practical choice when you need a quick protective layer without adding bulk. Common use cases include:
- Warehousing & distribution: protecting pallet tops during storage and outbound transport.
- Manufacturing: separating layers of packed goods or components during internal movement.
- Fulfilment operations: improving pallet presentation and reducing dust exposure in busy dispatch areas.
- General packing: using as a barrier sheet where products may rub or mark.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Paper Blankets are designed to be used as a disposable protective layer. For best results:
- Keep packs stored in a clean, dry area.
- Use fresh sheets when cleanliness and presentation are important.
- Dispose of used sheets responsibly in line with your site’s waste and recycling processes.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
Scenario: A dispatch team builds mixed pallets of boxed goods for daily courier collections. During wrapping and transport, the top layer can pick up dust and light scuffs from film tension and handling.
Approach: The team places a Paper Blanket on the top of each completed pallet before stretch wrapping. For certain sensitive cartons, they also add a sheet between layers.
Outcome: Pallets arrive cleaner and more consistent in appearance, and the team spends less time reworking marked cartons prior to dispatch.
Who Is It For?
- Warehouses and DCs looking for a simple pallet-top cover
- Manufacturers stacking product layers where rubbing can occur
- Operations teams aiming to improve pallet presentation for customers
- Any site that wants a quick, disposable protective sheet for packing
