Optimal protection of palettes and inviting appearance for manual processing

An S-hood (also referred as Y-hood) is sealed in transverse direction and folded into a Y shape. Through this head fold, four edges are created that are pulled tightly over the goods to be packaged (the loaded palette) which this way much better adapt to the shape of the goods to be packaged than a conventional shrink hood. Due to the effect of the heat, the film shrinks and thereby secures the palette and the packaged goods. This way, the goods on the palette are protected from transport damages, humidity, soiling and theft. This form of palette packaging has numerous advantages:

  • Use of less material
  • No half moon formation in the bottom area
  • No turned-down corners to be dirt collectors on the palette’s cover
  • No risk of moisture penetration due to a leaking seam in the area of the cover
  • 360° printable in a scatter print or position print process
