Pallet Stretch Hood Film for Stable Load Protection

A pallet stretch hood is a tube-shaped, one-end-sealed plastic hood that is stretched over palletized goods and then allowed to shrink, creating a tight, protective covering. It combines speed, load stability and strong protective performance — ideal for long hauls, outdoor storage and stacking in warehouses. Our product line uses multi-layer co-extruded film engineered for high stretch ratio and puncture resistance.

Material & Construction — What Makes Our Pallet Stretch Hood Superior

Our pallet stretch hoods are engineered for durability, elasticity, and load stability, designed to protect goods under long storage cycles and harsh transportation environments.

Base Material

• LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene) as the core material
  Provides excellent tensile strength, puncture resistance, and adaptability to load deformation.

• Optional multi-layer co-extruded structure (3–7 layers available)
  Enhances barrier performance and stretch uniformity.

• Customized additives for performance enhancement, including:

• UV stabilizers for outdoor pallet storage

• Slip/anti-slip modifiers for easier machine application

• Anti-static formulations for electronics & sensitive materials

• Color tinting and opacity control based on branding or privacy needs

Construction & Production Technology

• Advanced blown film or cast extrusion technology ensures uniform thickness and balanced mechanical strength.

• Tube-form film structure with one sealed end — easy to apply directly over palletized goods.

• Available thickness range: 50–150 microns (2–6 mils) for different load weights.

• High transverse & longitudinal stretch ratio (**up to 100–200%**) to snugly conform to sharp or irregular pallet corners.

• Smooth surface with optional high transparency for product identification, barcode scanning, and inventory visibility.

Result: A more secure pallet load, less damage during transit, and improved stacking efficiency.

Typical Applications

Pallet stretch hoods are used across many industries for securing palletized products during transport and storage, including:

• Construction materials: bricks, cement bags, boards

• Food & beverage: cartons, bottled products

• Chemicals and pellets: plastic granules, chemical sacks

• Glass & fragile items: glass bottles, framed glass

• Home appliances & electronics

Note: exact thickness, roll length, and mechanical properties should be selected based on pallet dimensions, load weight, and handling conditions. Contact us for tailored specifications.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between a stretch hood and stretch wrap?

Stretch hoods are preformed tubular film bags that stretch and recover around a pallet load, offering stronger sealing, better stability, and higher weather protection than traditional stretch wrap. Stretch wrap requires multiple rotations, while stretch hoods cover the entire load in one automated motion.

2. Can stretch hoods be used outdoors?

Yes. With UV-stabilized formulations, our stretch hoods provide long-term weather, sunlight, and moisture resistance, making them suitable for open-yard storage of bricks, cement, and construction materials.

3. Are your stretch hoods compatible with fully automated packing lines?

Absolutely. Our film is optimized for stretch hood applicators, ensuring smooth sliding, uniform expansion, and reduced tearing, even at high-speed production lines.

4. What pallet sizes and load heights can be customized?

We support most global pallet formats, including:

• 1200×1000 mm

• 1200×800 mm

• 1140×1140 mm

• Custom–sized requirements available upon request

Hood length, width, gusset depth, thickness, and elasticity can all be tailor-made for your load profile.

5. How do I choose the correct film thickness for my application?

General recommendation:

You can provide load weight + height analysis, and we will recommend the most cost-efficient configuration.

6. Is branding or printing available?

Yes. We offer 1–3 color printing logo & branding service, ideal for improving product visibility and brand recognition in warehouses, logistics centers, and retail distribution.
