APPLICATIONS & PURPOSES

Stretch Hood is ideal for high-volume operations where safe and efficient pallet wrapping is essential for the effective storage and transport of goods. With the right elasticity and prestretch, it secures tall stacks of heavy or unstable goods as well as sensitive items that could deform under excessive pressure. Available in a wide range of dimensions, with or without side gussets, it fits vertical and horizontal machine setups — covering four, five or all six sides (including the pallet) as required.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Optimal holding force: Our Stretch Hood can be stretched by up to 70% of its initial circumference, securing different load dimensions and types.
• Complete coverage: A single continuous hood provides complete protection on all sides (including the underside and pallet using compatible TENTOMA machinery), eliminating gaps and material waste from overlapping film strips.
• High durability: High tear resistance prevents the propagation of punctures from forklifts and sharp objects.
• Sustainability & Cost-Effectiveness: Stretching an undersized hood over a wider pallet load reduces hazard, material and energy use compared to heat-shrinking an oversized hood. Monomaterial formulations ensure recyclability while multilayer structures accomodate post-industrial and consumer recyclates (PCR & PIR).
• Maximum branding potential: Bold print designs on two sides, or all-round when using layflat films (no side gussets) and appropriate machinery.
• Ventilation for sensitive goods: Open tops and engineered perforations provide controlled airflow without tearing under stretch.
• Certified compatibility: Approved for major hooding lines (Signode/Lachenmeier, Baumer, Bocedi and others).
