STRETCH HOOD
What is a stretch hood?
A stretch hood is a modern way of pallet packing. It is tube of 3-layer sleeve film sealed on one end, which is stretched over a pallet to secure the contents. It has high elasticity, due to the middle layer ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), so the stretch hood can stretch as a stocking, then shrink and hold the load firmly on a pallet. This is important when transporting goods over long distances.
The advantages of stretch hood over shrink and stretch film:
- The greatest strength, stiffness and best seal of the pallet. Five-sided protection against moisture, dirt, UV rays. Highest load stability to ensure against damage.
- The highest speed of automatic pallet packaging (up to 100 pallets per hour vs 60 pallets for stretch wrap)
- Reducing costs (staff costs, logistics, low maintenance costs for stretch-hood packaging equipment, etc.) are reduced.
- Stretch-hood has a high transparency, which allows you to easily read the text through the film, as well as read barcodes
Application:
Packing of washing machines, gas stoves, refrigerators, packing of building and finishing materials (tiles, bags with loose materials, brick, plasterboard, blocks, glass, barrels, boxes) etc.
Film parameters:
Width: 1350 - 1850 mm
