Elite Shrink Hood

Shrink Hood

Shrink hood, is a versatile polymer material used for the packaging of finished goods. Heat is applied to the film – by either a conveyor heat tunnel or an electric or gas heat gun – which catalyzes the film to shrink tightly around large pallets. This process results in a clear, durable barrier of protection around the product.

Shrink hood film is available in a variety of types, thicknesses, clarities, strengths and shrink ratios, which can be employed alone or in conjunction with one another to create the precise type of layering and protection for your product. These options and constructions have broadened over time to accommodate specific requirements for sealing, optics, toughness, slip, temperature, force and memory.

Suitable for both manual and automated packaging, they can be manually applied with a hand-held heat gun, providing protection and stability for packed product such as industrial and commercial goods.
