This plain or printed film with thermal resistance, tear resistance, high shrinkage strength and high resolution is produced in the form of rolls for packaging pallets.
In addition to packing pallets, this type of shrink is used to wrap household appliances such as washing machines, air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, and so on.
Main features of this product include: stabilizing and gripping the pallet during shipment, considerably reducing the shipping costs without the need for secondary packaging, protecting products against dirt, dust and UV rays and preventing the products from being unpacked prior to consumption.
High Speed packaging with Shrink Hood machines in comparison to wrapping pallets with stretch films and the fact that this type of packaging is also suitable for pallets and goods with sharp corners, are features that have increased shrink-hood consumption.
The shrink film is sized based on the width, depth, and height of the pallet, thus the film width and gussets are based on width of the palette and its depth respectively.
In order to increase the film’s resistance to UV rays and also improve the shrinkage of the films, they are produced in multi-layers (co-extrusion).
