Stretching

Stretching refers to the securing of unit loads on a loading aid by means of stretchable wrapping film (depending on elasticity with corresponding pre-tensioning). A distinction is made between stretch hooding and stretch wrapping. Stretch hooding is advantageous for many pallet units of the same type, while stretch wrapping is more suitable for changing load units. Cf. film shrinking.
