Stretch Hood Film: The Future of Sustainable Industrial Packaging

How Stretch Hood Technology Works

Stretch hood film utilizes pre-stretched tubular elastic film to secure pallets without heat. The process:

1. Horizontally stretches film at room temperature

2. Vertically drapes over loads

3. Releases at pallet base for tight encapsulation

Key Innovation: Eliminates thermal processing, reducing energy use by 40% vs heat shrink methods.
