STRETCH HOOD

Stretch hood technology offers the most comprehensive benefits when compared to other types of pallet unitization methods.

The film is fed into a stretch hood machine, which gathers the film; cuts and seals the top side; stretches it beyond the size of the load to be wrapped; then pulls the hood over the load. When the mechanical arms release the film at the bottom of the pallet, the film snaps back – conforming to the shape of the load and partially wrapping under the pallet for added stability.

This efficient, fully automated process offers manufacturers, logistics companies, and retailers a range of benefits over other pallet wrapping methods – from potential cost savings and material handling conveniences to product display opportunities and other value-adding benefits.
