Stretch Hood: the advanced solution for flexible packaging
Stretch Hood for superior performance and enhanced security across your supply chain.
STRETCH HOOD
The Stretch Hood is an elastic tubular film that combines the features of both Shrink Film and Stretch Film. Produced through the coextrusion of three or more layers, it ensures greater holding power without the risk of holes or punctures caused by heat-shrink processes.
Our Stretch Hood is the ideal solution for high-output production lines, where a large number of pallets need to be wrapped daily. Thanks to its high elastic retention, it ensures greater load stability and complete waterproofing, without the risk of microperforations.
It features excellent transparency for optimal product visibility and identification. Moreover, it is versatile and customizable, adapting to your specific needs for protection, packaging, and load securing.
The Stretch Hood by TermoPlastica Sghedoni significantly contributes to plastic material reduction (by 20% to 40% compared to traditional shrink hoods), providing important environmental benefits. Unlike other packaging techniques, the use of Stretch Hood does not require energy sources for heat shrinking. This not only lowers the overall environmental impact but also highlights the efficiency of the process, helping to conserve energy resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Puncture resistance
Withstands penetrating forces, preserving package integrity and protecting the goods inside;
Slip properties
Slides easily over pallet surfaces, enabling efficient wrapping and smooth application.
The combination of these characteristics leads to enhanced load stability and better packaging performance. The flexibility and superior performance of Stretch Hood make it one of the best packaging solutions, improving not only the efficiency of your process but also the safety and integrity of your productsthroughout the logistics cycle.
How is the Stretch Hood applied?
The packaging process is quick and simple. The tubular film is expanded using its elastic properties and pulled over the load. Then, sealing bars cut and close the hood to fit the pallet dimensions.
This technology allows for the use of less raw material and energy, reducing the packaging weight and its environmental footprint. Once applied, the load is significantly more stable both in storage and during transportation.
Application Sectors of the Stretch Hood
Our Stretch Hood is widely used in high-intensity sectors, proving especially effective in industries such as:
The Stretch Hood is the ideal solution for palletizing products requiring gentle handling, as it eliminates the need for heat tunnels or open flames. This makes it particularly suitable for protecting heat-sensitive or thermally delicate goods.
It is also ideal for bagged goods, whether in paper or plastic bags, covering a wide range of product types. Its high elasticity is key in this context, enhancing load compaction and significantly improving stability during transportation and storage.
