For Irish exporters, thermal liner installation is best arranged before a container is collected for loading. BubblePack supplies and professionally installs its BPI Roll Liner across Ireland, commonly at empty-container depots. This guide explains what the shipper needs to prepare, how fitting is coordinated and what information helps avoid delays.
What is the BPI Roll Liner?
The Roll Liner is a reflective bubble-foil thermal insulation system with foil, bubble and foil layers. It provides passive insulation inside a dry freight container, helping moderate exposure to heat and cold. It does not actively heat, cool or maintain a fixed cargo temperature. Unlike BubblePack's prefabricated Integrated Liner, the Roll Liner is primarily supplied and professionally installed by BubblePack's own technicians in Ireland.
Before installation: confirm the shipment requirements
Start with the cargo's documented temperature limits, loading conditions, route, season and expected transit duration. Passive insulation is not suitable for every product. Where active temperature control is required, a suitably powered refrigerated container remains appropriate.
Confirm the container type, including whether it is 20ft, 40ft, 40ft high-cube or 45ft, and whether floor protection is required. The chosen configuration determines the surfaces covered.
Preparing the empty container
The empty container should be accessible to the installation team at the agreed depot or site. Container condition matters for both fitting and cargo protection. Check for obvious damage, water ingress, debris, sharp protrusions or residue from previous cargo, and arrange for any defects to be addressed before fitting.
Record the correct container identification and communicate any depot access requirements, collection deadlines or site restrictions to BubblePack in advance.
How Roll Liner installation is arranged in Ireland
- Send the job details: container type, quantity, cargo requirements, depot or site, and required fitting date.
- Confirm availability: BubblePack coordinates the installation against the empty-container booking and access arrangements.
- Prepare the container: ensure the empty unit is available and suitable for the planned fitting.
- Professional fitting: BubblePack's technicians install the selected Roll Liner configuration. Typical fitting time is 20–45 minutes depending on the job.
- Handover and collection: confirm completion before the container is collected or loading begins.
These are the steps for arranging the service, not a DIY fitting guide. BubblePack does not publish its Roll Liner installation method as customer instructions.
What can delay an installation?
Common coordination issues include a container not being available at the expected depot, a changed collection date, incomplete container details, access restrictions or defects that need attention before fitting. Early communication between the exporter, forwarder, depot and installation team helps reduce avoidable disruption.
How does the Integrated Liner differ?
The BPI Integrated Liner is a separate prefabricated system for international supply. It can be fitted by the shipper using the supplied guidance or through local partners where arranged. Typical fitting time is 7–20 minutes depending on container size. The two products have different constructions and installation arrangements, so their specifications should not be confused.
What should you include in an installation enquiry?
- Container size and quantity
- Whether floor insulation is required
- Cargo type and documented temperature requirements
- Empty-container depot or proposed fitting location
- Collection or loading date and site access details
- Route and expected transit duration
Frequently asked questions
Can BubblePack fit a liner before container collection?
Yes. Empty-container depot installation before collection is a common arrangement in Ireland, subject to booking and access.
How long does Roll Liner installation take?
Typically 20–45 minutes, depending on the job and container configuration.
Do exporters need to install the Roll Liner themselves?
No. BubblePack's own technicians provide the professional installation service in Ireland.
Does the liner guarantee protection against condensation?
No. Insulation can help manage temperature-related conditions that contribute to condensation, but it cannot remove existing moisture or guarantee prevention.
