Stretch hood / stretch hood film ／ 1050*M350*0 12mm cold stretch hood film

The stretch hood, also known as a stretch hood film or cold stretch hood film. It is a packaging method that utilizes a tube-shaped elastic plastic film heat-sealed at the top, stretched horizontally and transversely at room temperature, vertically covering the top of the package and releasing the elasticity at the bottom of the pallet to make it tightly wrap the product. It is a new type of packaging technology that can replace heat shrinkable film and stretch film.

 

In terms of application areas, currently,

• 25% of the stretch hood film is used for protection and display (such as food, beverage, and electrical appliances, etc.). This application field requires high transparency, low extrusion force, high strength, and other properties.
• 35% of the stretch hood film is used for heavy packaging pallets, which requires a certain clamping force and pallet stability, and has certain physical properties.
• 40% of the stretch hood film is used as a dustproof and rainproof cover for brick building materials. This field requires high puncture resistance and tear resistance. Cold shrink film has penetrated the construction and heavy-duty packaging bags the most in Europe and the United States, and the main growth is expected in the food, beverage, and white goods sectors.

 

Features of the cold stretch hood film:

1. High loading stability
2. The elasticity of the film can package products of various specifications
3. No heating required
4. The film will not stick to the packaged items
5. Noise can be minimized
6. The film is easier to recycle and dispose
7. Excellent display performance
8. Can print logo and text on the film
9. No ignition risk
10. Reduced a lot of security risks
11. High output
12. Low cost per pallet

 

What is the difference between stretch hood and other packaging?

• Compared with cartons: the cost of cartons continues to rise. The cost of stretch hood is only 30% of carton cost. Stretch hood film packaging is waterproof, moisture-proof and transparent, and can realize fully automated packaging while cartons can not.
• Compared with the heat-shrinkable film: the cold stretch hood film does not require heating. The film will not stick to the packaged items. No risk of ignition. The stretch hood can reduce a lot of security risks. Reduce energy costs.
• Compared with stretch film: stretch film cannot be waterproof, dustproof, or transparent enough for scanning the code, while cold stretch hood film can. Stretch film is with poor clamping force and poor tilt stability, while the cold stretch hood film is not.
