1. What is the difference between stretch hood film and stretch wrap film?

Stretch hood film and stretch wrap film protect palletised loads in different ways. Stretch hood film is supplied as a tube-shaped sleeve that is pulled over the pallet from above, covering the top and all four sides in one application. Stretch wrap film is supplied on a roll and wound around the load in a spiral pattern. Compared with conventional stretch wrapping, stretch hood film can provide more complete coverage, stronger protection against rain and dust, and faster application on automated packaging lines.

Yes. Megaplast stretch hood film is made from recyclable LLDPE and LDPE materials. The film is designed to combine recyclability with the strength required for pallet protection, including resistance to tearing and puncturing. After use, follow your local commercial or industrial plastic recycling requirements to ensure the material is handled through the appropriate recycling stream.

Megaplast stretch hood film is available in gusseted roll widths of up to 2,500 millimetres. The available thickness range is 75 to 125 microns, allowing you to select a specification according to the size, weight and protection requirements of your palletised load. Film options include transparent, tinted and printable finishes.

For heavy, sharp-edged or irregularly shaped loads, a stretch hood film thickness towards the higher end of the 75-to-125-micron range may be more suitable. Additional thickness can improve resistance to punctures caused by sharp edges, uneven weight distribution or demanding transport conditions. The final specification should be selected according to the load profile and packaging equipment.

Yes. Megaplast stretch hood film is available with a printable finish. This allows businesses to display branding, handling symbols, product information or important instructions directly on the film. Printed stretch hood packaging can help improve load identification while reinforcing brand visibility throughout the supply chain.

Yes. Stretch hood film can be used for palletised loads that require protection during outdoor storage or transport. Because the film covers the top and all four sides of the pallet, it creates a barrier against rain, dust and general weather exposure. Select the appropriate film specification based on the expected storage duration, environmental conditions and load requirements. 

Stretch hood film is used across industries that package and transport palletised products. Common applications include cement and building materials, agriculture, food and beverage, chemicals, petrochemicals and e-commerce. It helps keep bulk loads secure, covered and easier to handle during storage and distribution.

Machine compatibility depends primarily on the required roll width and gusset specification. These requirements can vary between hooding machines, so share your machine model, technical details and current film specifications with the Megaplast team. They can help confirm the appropriate film size and specification for your packaging line. Whether you need stretch hood film for heavy loads, outdoor storage, automated pallet packaging or branded packaging, Megaplast can help you identify a suitable specification. When requesting a quotation, provide your pallet dimensions, load weight, product type, machine details, required film thickness and estimated order quantity.
