Veritiv has introduced TempSafe PalletShield, a category-defining innovation in bulk cold chain shipping — and the first pre-qualified pallet shipper made with curbside-recyclable components.

As the newest addition to Veritiv's TempSafe portfolio of curbside-recyclable shippers, which spans multiple sizes and use cases across parcel and bulk shipments, TempSafe PalletShield brings scalable sustainability and validated thermal performance to today's most demanding temperature-controlled distribution channels.

Designed for the rigour of life sciences, healthcare and high-value cold chain logistics, TempSafe PalletShield helps organisations reduce waste, simplify pack-outs and eliminate the disposal costs tied to traditional EPS and PUR pallet systems.

Delivering more than five days of validated thermal protection, a 558–596L payload and capacity for more than 300 pounds of dry ice, TempSafe PalletShield integrates seamlessly into standard pallet workflows. Its patent-pending design locks each panel into place to prevent edge loss, maintain structural integrity, and deliver consistent thermal performance across long-distance and multi-stop temperature-controlled lanes.

"Cold chain teams are asking for solutions that don't force a compromise between thermal assurance and environmental responsibility. TempSafe PalletShield delivers on that expectation and expands our TempSafe line with a curbside-recyclable pallet shipper built for real operational pressures," said Chris Bradley, Chief Marketing and Sustainability Officer, Veritiv.

As part of a family of curbside-recyclable solutions validated for a range of temperature profiles and shipment sizes, TempSafe PalletShield offers rugged durability, reliable thermal performance and meaningful sustainability gains through a fiber-based design that reduces landfill waste and simplifies end-of-life handling compared to EPS and PUR systems. It supports vaccines, biologics, clinical trial materials, high-value therapeutics and other temperature-sensitive products where precision and compliance are essential.

"Our goal from day one was to design a recyclable pallet shipper that performs at or above traditional materials while remaining intuitive for teams on the floor. TempSafe PalletShield gives customers a validated, easy-to-handle system that scales with the complexity of today's cold chain," said Frank Butch, Director—Cold Chain Solutions, Veritiv.
