Stretch hood

We provide stretch hood solutions specifically designed for palletising, protecting loads and guaranteeing airtightness against environmental contaminants and UV rays. This type of packaging is highly efficient for industries requiring stability, visibility and resistance during pallet transport and storage.

Smart protection for your products

We have developed technical films that offer high elasticity and excellent retraction memory, guaranteeing optimal hold with no need for heat application, thus reducing energy costs and time. As it is an exclusively mechanical process, it contributes to improved sustainability of the packaging process.

Our stretch hood provides full coverage without thermal contact, improving energy efficiency and reducing hazards in the packaging line. Macresac designs bespoke products that adapt to any machine, load type and logistics requirements.

Main technical properties of stretch hood

Optimal mechanical performance

  • High elasticity and recovery after stretching.
