The Shrink hood provides protection to goods and tightens them to a pallet for safe transportation and storage by keeping the items tightly bound. It is used to cover the pallets like a hood and protect the products from dust, snow, moisture, rain, and other natural elements. After application, the film will be shrunk by heat, to hold the goods tight to the pallet.
Palletized goods face common issues: shifting during transport, dust/moisture damage, and inefficient wrapping. Our Pallet Shrink Hood solves these by acting as a “tight-fitting hood,” optimizing pallet safety and efficiency:
• Warehouse Storage: Pallets of electronics, food ingredients, or industrial parts often collect dust or absorb moisture from warehouse air. The hood’s airtight seal keeps contents clean and dry, reducing spoilage or product defects.
• Long-Distance Transport: Trucks carrying pallets experience vibration, causing goods to shift or topple. The hood shrinks tightly around the entire pallet, binding items together and preventing movement—even on bumpy roads.
• Fast-Moving Logistics: Distribution centers need quick packaging solutions. Unlike traditional stretch film (which takes 2–3 minutes per pallet), the hood can be applied and shrunk in 30 seconds, cutting labor time by 75%.
• Five-Layer Co-Extruded Material: The hood is made via co-extrusion of five PE layers, each with a specific role: outer UV layer (protection from sunlight), middle puncture-resistant layer (blocks sharp edges), inner seal layer (airtight fit), and two adhesive layers (bond layers together). This design boosts puncture resistance by 90% compared to single-layer hoods.
• Hood-Style Design: Unlike flat shrink film, the hood is pre-formed into a “tube” that slides over pallets easily. It covers the entire pallet (top, sides, and base), eliminating gaps where dust or moisture can enter.
• High Shrink Ratio: With a 2.5:1 crosswise shrink ratio, the hood tightens firmly around irregular pallet loads (e.g., boxes of different heights), creating a rigid “cage” for maximum stability.

• Fit Testing: We offer free sample hoods to test compatibility with your pallet size and load type (e.g., heavy boxes, fragile items).
• Installation Tools: We supply compatible heat guns (adjustable temperature for different thicknesses) and pallet stands (to hold pallets during application) at discounted rates for hood buyers.
• Bulk Order Benefits: Orders of 1000+ hoods get 15% off, plus free storage for up to 3 months (ideal for seasonal logistics peaks).
• After-Sales Service: If hoods tear during normal use, we replace them for free. We also provide a “pallet safety checklist” to help your team optimize loading and wrapping.
