Stretch hood packaging
ExxonMobil Product Solutions performance polymers protect and preserve products with extremely damage-resistant stretch hood packaging that can withstand the most demanding stresses, helping brand owners protect their goods through the value chain.
Applications and benefits
Typical stretch hood packaging applications include beverages, packaging food and bottled goods, household appliances, products packed in bags (sand, cement, resins, etc.), packaging materials, and paper and building products.
- Toughness, high tear and tear propagation resistance with excellent puncture resistance for high package integrity, keeping palletized products and appliances protected during transportation and storage to reduce the amount of damaged and returned goods
- Controlled elasticity and high holding force for load stability that keeps products secure during transportation from the factory floor to retail outlets and homes
- High film transparency for easier barcode reading and brand visibility
- Expanded film stretch ratio, which can make it more adaptable to different pallet shapes and sizes
- High snapback and elastic recovery

Case study: Creating a new generation of stretch hood films with sustainability benefits that also maintain performance
Stretch hood film is the most innovative film amongst palletization methods and has the potential advantage of reduced energy consumption versus shrink films. No energy is required for the shrinking process. How can we further contribute to a circular plastics economy by developing stretch hood films with sustainability benefits, while maintaining properties demanded by the application? See how in this case study.
