1. Differences between types of film: Stretch film, Stretch Hood and Shrink film
Taking the top spot in the Top 10 is a technical article that answers one of the most frequently asked questions in the industry: which type of film provides better load securing, or which film can best protect and stabilize a load.
This article explains all the features and advantages of the three main types of film: stretch film, shrink film, and Stretch Hood film.
2. European tax on non-recycled plastic: Regulations and country-specific applications
In second place, we find an article focused on another major concern for the sector: regulations and regulatory pressure related to sustainability and plastic usage.
The article explains what the European tax on non-recycled plastic consists of, a measure approved for the 2021–2027 period, which establishes a fee of 0.80€ per kilogram of non-recycled plastic packaging waste, as well as which European Union countries are applying it.
3. Challenges and Trends in Packaging and Logistics for 2025: Sustainability, AI, and Automation
Closing the podium is another topic that has generated significant concern in the sector: the ongoing transformation of the industry due to technological advancements, the urgency of sustainability, the demand for more efficient solutions, and the rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
This article highlights the main trends and challenges that have shaped 2025 and will continue to influence the future of logistics and packaging, as well as the strategies that, based on our experience as packaging solution manufacturers, companies should adopt to grow in a competitive and constantly evolving environment.
4. Comparative: Stretch Wrapping Vs Strapping Systems for pallet securing
One of the most popular topics among Innova users and one that appears repeatedly throughout this ranking: technical articles on packaging machinery. In this case, the most-read article was the comparison between Stretch Wrapping and Strapping Systems.
This article compares two pallet securing systems that can be either substitutes or complementary, depending on the type of product, packaging objective, and palletizing method.
5. Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions about Stretch Hood System and their answers
Once again, we find an article designed to answer user questions about packaging machinery. This fourth-ranked post focuses on the Stretch Hood pallet hooding system, an innovative packaging technology that is becoming an increasingly popular end-of-line solution for many companies.
Even so, many of its benefits and features are still not widely known, and companies considering switching to Stretch Hood often have questions and doubts about its suitability for their products. In this article, we answer the most frequently asked questions.
6. How to avoid stretch film breakage in pallet stretch wrapping
One of the main concerns among users is the potential breakage of stretch film during final packaging. Although it may seem like a minor issue, it can cause unnecessary downtime in automatic lines, frequent manual intervention, and even product damage if the break occurs afterward.
In this post, we review several tips to prevent film breakage during pallet stretch wrapping and to further optimize packaging times and consumable savings.
7. PACKAGING LINE GUIDE: How to Prepare an End-of-Line Packaging Project
The seventh article addresses the installation of a pallet packaging line in a factory, a complex project that requires thorough planning to ensure success.
In this post, we provide a step-by-step guide on how to define and execute a packaging project, as well as the preparations required before and during line installation. Considering multiple factors before starting a pallet packaging line installation is essential to achieving the desired results.
8. Top 10 most frequently asked questions about pallet strapping systems
We continue with another topic related to load safety, this time focusing on pallet strapping systems, which are widely used to ensure load securing. We often receive questions about the features and specifications of these systems, which is why, following our TOP 10 FAQ series, we address the most common doubts.
What types of pallet strapping systems are available? Which strapping system is recommended depending on the type of product? What accessories can be added to improve strapping? These are some of the questions covered in this article.
9. How to secure and protect the ceramic load of large formats?
Once again, we find a technical article focused on load protection and safety, this time addressing large-format ceramic products. These formats are increasingly popular in interior design and renovation projects due to their functional and aesthetic advantages, which is why most ceramic manufacturers work with this type of product.
This article analyzes, from a logistics perspective, the main transportation challenges and the best packaging solutions for large-format ceramic loads.
10. New FSMA 2025 regulation in the US: How Stretch Hood ensures Compliance for Food Producers
Finally, we close the Top 10 with an article about a new regulation introduced just a few months ago by the U.S. government: the new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) 2025. This regulation introduces stricter requirements related to food production safety and traceability.
The new rules impose more rigorous standards for packaging, handling, and transportation to minimize contamination risks. This article explains the key changes introduced by FSMA 2025 and how Stretch Hood technology can help food producers comply with the new regulations while optimizing their packaging operations.
In conclusion, this Top 10 reflects the topics that generated the most interest within the packaging and logistics sector in 2025, from technical questions about various packaging systems to the challenges and trends that will shape the industry’s future.
