That's a good question, I haven't seen the scenario - only been told by owner. They are encapsulating it with shrinkwrap but I would have to agree there must be something there helping to support the other pallet. The owner said sometimes their customer requests the plastic sided container because when shipping over seas the cardboard doesn't hold up well even though they shrinkwrap it well. Makes sense.
Maybe he can supply a picture of an example. Ultimately the insurance will have final say, he's just trying to make sure its not way over the top.

How heavy are the cardboard and plastic containers that they can support 2 high when open topped?
