Stretch hood is an elastic tube that is applied on object by stretch it and applying it the same way as nylon sockets by a specific machine, the stretch hooder.

In the beginning the only application was the hooding of pallets, but with the years we see the number of applications increase.  Today stretch hood is also used for bundling of object, like isolation panels and for individual packaging like big texitile reels.
