When To Choose A Stretch Hood Machine 

A stretch hood machine is the best choice for businesses handling loads in various shapes and sizes. These machines offer several advantages over traditional pallet wrapping systems, including faster operation, superior presentation, and optimal weather protection. They are especially beneficial for products at risk of water damage, such as bags of cement or fertilizers, due to the five-sided hooding film that provides better coverage than stretch wrapping.

Stretch hooders are also popular in industries like glass bottle manufacturing, where contamination is a serious concern, as the hooding system offers better protection from dust and debris. Whether you're dealing with products like bottles of glass, rolls of paper, or heavy-duty industrial components, a stretch hood machine ensures your pallets remain secure and protected.

If your operations primarily involve palletized boxes or standard-shaped packages, a typical pallet wrapping machine may suffice. However, for businesses with more diverse packaging needs, the flexibility and enhanced protection offered by a stretch hood machine make it a superior choice.

Stretch Hood Machine FAQs

Stretch hood wrapping machines provide excellent load stability for a wide range of products. They offer superior protection against dust, moisture, and contaminants, keeping products in optimal condition during transit. Versatile and efficient, these machines accommodate various load sizes and shapes, streamlining operations and reducing labour costs.

Stretch hooder machines stand out by applying a pre-stretched film over the load and then shrinking it tightly using heat. This creates a secure, custom-fit package that offers superior load containment and stability compared to traditional vertical or horizontal wrapping methods. 

Stretch hood machines are ideal for irregularly shaped or oversized items. They can handle light items such as paper rolls, glass bottles, and bagged goods and heavy-duty products such as building materials, machinery components, and more. Its ability to adapt to a strong range of products is the main reason why they’re perfect for businesses that handle products in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
