Take a deep dive into high-performance characteristics of the Vdry Blanket, and how these improve the conditions in which high-risk goods are shipped.
Why Is Container Rain a Threat to Your Shipments?
The Hidden Risk: Shipping Container Condensation That Falls from the Container Ceiling
Container rain occurs when temperature fluctuations cause condensation to form inside a shipping container. This moisture accumulates on the ceiling and drips onto your cargo, leading to rust, mold, and contamination.
The smallest amount of moisture can cause major losses to your products significant cargo moisture damage. Once mold or corrosion sets in, your shipment could be rejected by customers, leaving you with costly insurance claims and lost revenue.
Without Proper Protection, You Risk:
- Product damage from uncontrolled condensation.
- Rejected shipments due to mold, corrosion, and contamination.
- Increased insurance claims & lost profits from shipping challenges.
The Solution: VDRY Blanket – The Industry’s Best Shipping Container Absorbent Blanket
The VDRY Blanket is a super absorbent blanket engineered to absorb container rain, eliminate leaking, and prevent shipping container condensation damage. Designed for maximum moisture absorption, it is the ultimate condensation control blanket for global shipping.
How VDRY Blanket Works to Protect Your Cargo
Unlike standard moisture protection methods like desiccant bags and corrugated cardboard, the VDRY Blanket is a breakthrough solution designed to deliver unmatched protection against condensation damage in high-risk shipments. While desiccant bags can quickly reach capacity and corrugated cardboard offers minimal protection, the VDRY Blanket actively absorbs condensation and forms a durable, impermeable barrier between your goods and the moisture dripping from the container ceiling.
Developed with a commitment to superior cargo protection, the VDRY Blanket offers peace of mind that even when large volumes of condensation form, your shipment remains dry and secure.
Don’t let condensation compromise your shipments and cost you thousands in damages! Invest in the most reliable absorbent blanket for shipping containers today.

Frequently Asked Questions About the VDRY Blanket for Shipping Containers
How Does Moisture Cause Damage?
Moisture inside a shipping container leads to:
Mold & Spoilage – Damp conditions promote mold growth, contaminating food, textiles, and cardboard.
Rust & Corrosion – Metals oxidize when exposed to humidity, damaging machinery, tools, and auto parts.
Packaging Damage – Cardboard weakens, labels blur, and plastic becomes brittle rendering goods unsuitable for retail.
Chemical Instability – Pharmaceuticals and powders degrade, losing effectiveness.
Solution: The VDRY Shipping Container Absorbent Blanket absorbs excess moisture, preventing condensation damage.
What is Container Rain?
When you load a shipping container it is full of moisture. This can be found in the air, the cargo, packaging, pallets and wooden flooring.
As the temperature in the container increases this moisture evaporates into the air, increasing the relative humidity within.
When the temperature falls, this moisture condenses on the cooler surfaces of the container ceiling and walls.
This process of evaporation and condensation inside the container follows the repeated temperature changes between day and night, and is exacerbated by voyages across different climatic regions.
The result is container rain, which is when drops of condensation fall on the goods below. This leads to expensive cargo losses.
Why use Vdry shipping container absorbent blanket if I already use desiccant bags?
The Vdry Blanket is a solution we developed because we recognized many shippers continued to experience problems with condensation damage even when using desiccant bags.
The complex nature of international shipping means there are many reasons why condensation will form even when desiccants are used. There is a risk early in shipment as condensation forms with cyclical temperature changes before desiccants have absorbed su cient volumes of humidity. Similarly, any sharp changes in temperature, for example during transloading, can exacerbate the condensation cycle.
It is common for desiccant bags to reach full capacity before the end of the voyage, therefore leaving goods exposed. Any delays during unloading will increase the risk of damage as this is a period in which there are greater temperature fluctuations.
Which Vdry product should I use?
At EPG we recommend using a combination of Vdry solutions to interrupt the condensation cycle in the container at various key points and protect cargo against moisture damage.
Each Vdry product interrupts the condensation cycle at different stages, empowering shippers to move away from a one-size-fits-all approach to adopt a more comprehensive approach to protecting their goods.
- Vdry Bags: For high moisture absorption.
- Vdry Blanket: To protect from container rain.
- Vdry Liner: For clean and dry cargo conditions.
Is the Vdry Blanket safe to use with food products?
Yes, the Vdry Blanket is manufactured with materials that are handpicked for their non-toxic characteristics.
How many Vdry Blankets do I need per container?
The Vdry Blanket is available for different sizes of shipping containers meaning that one Vdry Blanket unit is all you need for a single container.
How long does it take to install the Vdry Blanket?
In a matter of minutes you can install the Vdry Blanket inside the container, without the need for additional machinery or equipment.
