The Stretch Hood system is ideal for protecting loads of any size or shape, offering total sealing, enhanced hygiene, and a flawless presentation. This cold wrapping system provides full coverage of the load, a crucial factor in preserving product quality from external elements such as sunlight, humidity, or dust. Stretch Hood offers outstanding adaptability, making it suitable for wrapping everything from small package loads or picking pallets to very tall pallet formats, common in this industry.
Stretch Hood also stands out as one of the most environmentally friendly solutions, capable of reducing both film consumption and energy use by up to 50% compared to other wrapping methods.
Automatic wrapping systems are widely used in the packaging industry due to their versatility and ability to handle different types and sizes of loads. The ring wrapper, for instance, delivers high performance for stacked or bulk-packaged items, ensuring secure and uniform load containment. Meanwhile, the rotary arm wrapper is an excellent choice for lower-output operations, while still providing high-quality wrapping results.
Both systems can be equipped with various accessories to enhance wrapping and protection, such as top press systems for securing light loads, reinforcement cord applications, and top cover applicators for full product protection.
Stretch Hood applies a film that adapts to and fully encloses the entire surface of the load, sealing it on five sides to deliver the most hygienic wrapping solution available. It uses tubular film with specific properties that protect the load against moisture, dust, and other external agents, including UV rays.
Stretch Hood’s stretch film allows it to adapt to a wide range of packaging formats and can be used to wrap everything from ultra-low to ultra-high loads—often required in the packaging industry.
Loads made of materials like PET or plastic are typically fragile and unstable. That’s why our Stretch Hood system is engineered to enhance base stability and ensure secure wrapping of even the tallest loads.
Stretch Hood provides a fully transparent final wrap, free of folds or wrinkles. It also supports full visibility of branding, as well as easy barcode readability and traceability, adding significant value at the point of delivery.
The Stretch Hood system can reduce material usage by up to 50% compared to other solutions, such as traditional pallet wrapping or shrink wrapping, as it uses less film and does not require heat or gas to shrink.
One of the top priorities in the packaging industry is sustainability and recyclability. Stretch Hood is recognized as the most efficient and environmentally friendly solution. In addition to reducing plastic use, it supports recycled-content films to comply with current regulations. Furthermore, Innova’s Stretch Hood machine is equipped with high-efficiency motors and components to further lower energy consumption.
