STRETCH HOOD WRAPPING SYSTEM
The best pallet packaging system
Discover the Stretch Hood pallet wrapping system, a highly efficient solution that offers maximum load stability and protection. It is an innovative technology that applies a tubular film that stretches and conforms to the shape of the load, sealing and fully protecting the products against external agents.
This innovative pallet wrapping system offers more savings on consumables, faster wrapping speeds, total load protection, safety during transportation, and a top-quality finish that gives added value to your palletized product.
Why choose Stretch Hood technology?
Protect your load from external factors
The Stretch Hood system is the only system that provides total protection and impermeability to the palletized product.
The total protection is achieved with the combination of the hooding itself, which adapts to the dimensions of the load, and the properties of the Stretch Hood film, which is a multilayer film composed mostly of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), being resistant to water, moisture, dust and UV rays.
Save on
packaging costs
The Stretch Hood system offers up to 50% savings on consumables and energy for production.
Unlike other packaging systems, the Stretch Hood only uses the exact amount of film needed to protect the load, reducing waste and excess film. In addition, as it does not require heat energy (or gas installations), it also reduces energy consumption.
Achieve greater stability in transport
With Stretch Hood wrapping, your load is secure and stable to prevent shifting, falling or breakage during transport.
The Stretch Hood film is stretchable and, thanks to the combination of vertical and horizontal contraction forces during stretch hooding, it adapts and holds the load, thus offering greater stability to the pallet.
Streamline your
production process
Stretch Hood is the fastest pallet packaging system, wrapping up to 150 pallets/hour.
The Stretch Hood system performs faster pallet wrapping, doubling the throughput of a shrink hood system and conventional stretch wrappers – which they typically wrap 60 pallets/hour. This is a decisive argument for many companies that decide to further automate and optimize their end-of-line production.
Enhance your brand visibility
The fully transparent hood offers greater visibility of your brand and code readability, adding value to your product.
The Stretch Hood system provides a perfect presentation, with the absence of the typical creases and wrinkles caused by shrink hooding or stretch wrapper. In addition, the optical properties of the Stretch Hood film ensure total transparency and brightness to show the contents of the load.
Easy access to your load
With Stretch Hood film, cutting and removing the packaging is quick and simple.
Stretch Hood’s robust packaging protects palletized goods from intrusion along the distribution chain. It allows easy detection of any damage, such as partial thefts, which could occur on pallets where the stretch wrapper has been used.

Stretch Hood Compared to
other packaging systems
Comparison between
Stretch Hood and Shrink Hood System
Stretch Hood uses a tubular film that automatically adapts to the dimensions of the product without the need of heat application.
On the other hand, the heat shrink-wrapping system uses a gas oven to heat and shrink the film at a high temperature so that it adheres to the pallet.
Comparison between
Stretch Hood and Automatic Wrapping
The Stretch Hood system wraps the pallet using a tubular film that automatically adapts to the product and protects 5 sides of it.
On the other hand, the automatic wrapping system wraps the product using more film, and then a cover is required to protect the top of the load.
