  Stretch hooding is a packaging method commonly used to secure and protect palletized goods. It involves using a stretchable plastic film, known as stretch hood film, which is applied over a load of goods on a pallet. The stretch hood is typically made of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and is designed to fit snugly over all 5 sides of the pallet load (leaving no open top side), providing stability and protection during handling and transportation. Stretch hood film is a popular choice across many different industries because it provides strong, resilient packaging that adapts to different load shapes and sizes, enhancing protection and stability throughout the supply chain. Why Use Stretch Hood Film? There are several advantages of using stretch hood film for your packaging needs, including: Improved Load Stability: The tension in the film holds the goods firmly in place, reducing the risk of damage during transit. Highly Durable: Due to its ability to stretch...

Stretch hood film is for economical, innovative, heavy duty packaging products that have a high degree of elasticity and memory retention allowing film to be stretched over a load, which then snaps back tightly when released to give a high holding force on the pallet. Stretch hood films were originally specifically designed for the beverage industry as their stability and strength were ideal for these products but have also proved useful for temperature sensitive goods and tiles. Stretch hoods are especially suited for the tile industry because of the high level of pallet stability they offer. With their extremely high tear- and puncture resistance, they provide excellent support for sharp edges as well as the great weight of tiles. They are stable, even for external storage, and the films can be weather-resistant for up to three years. Stretch hoods can also be used for wrapping PE sacks, paper sacks and FIBCs. Stretch Hood Film is an elastic tubular film which is used with spec...
