Pallet Packaging using Hood Packaging Systems
Hood packaging systems are packaging systems that use hoods or tubes to pack, secure, protect and stabilize palletized load units, usually fully automatically. The hoods or tubes consist of plastic film that is placed over the load unit from above. Unlike pallet wrapping machines, only one layer of film is used for hood packaging. It provides high load stability and the goods are protected from the weather, especially rain and UV radiation, on at least five sides.
