Folmi offers industrial pallet hoods designed to provide the highest level of protection for goods stored and transported on industrial pallets. Our hoods provide excellent protection against weather conditions, moisture, dust, and mechanical damage, making them indispensable in numerous industries, from chemical to food. These hoods ensure safe transport and stable storage, ensuring your products are always properly protected.
Production Options
Material: Our industrial pallet hoods are made from LDPE, HDPE, MDPE, and LDPE regranulate. These materials are characterized by excellent strength, flexibility, and resistance to mechanical damage. The use of LDPE regranulate makes our production more environmentally friendly, which is an important aspect of sustainable packaging management.
Hood Width: We offer hoods with a circumference of up to 5400 mm, allowing for the complete protection of a variety of goods on industrial pallets, regardless of their shape or size.
Hood Length: Hoods are manufactured in lengths up to 3500 mm, allowing for full customization to meet the requirements of a variety of products and varying pallet heights, ensuring complete protection during storage and transport.
Hood Thickness: Our hoods are available in thicknesses from 20 μm to 300 μm, allowing for strength adjustments to specific requirements – from lighter materials to heavy products requiring additional protection.
Add-ons
To ensure full functionality and even better protection for industrial pallet hoods, we offer a variety of add-ons that enhance their usability:
UV – a special additive that protects the hoods from UV radiation, ensuring they retain their properties even during long-term outdoor storage, minimizing the risk of material degradation.
Dyes – the option to color the hoods allows for easy differentiation and content identification, and supports visual branding.
Anti-block, slip – an additive that prevents the hoods from sticking together, making them much easier to use and apply to pallets, speeding up packaging processes.
Anti-slip – increased grip on the hoods helps prevent them from shifting during transport, which is important for loads on industrial pallets.
ESD – an antistatic film that protects sensitive products from electrostatic discharge, which is particularly important for certain industrial applications.
Low-Temperature Elasticizer – ensures the hoods remain flexible even at low temperatures (down to -29°C), allowing for safe storage. goods in cold stores and during the transport of frozen foods,
Flexo printing – the ability to print company logos, product information, or identification codes, which increases brand visibility and facilitates logistics and product identification,
Perforation – perforation allows for adequate product ventilation, which is beneficial for materials requiring airflow, such as certain raw materials or agricultural products.
Applications
Industrial pallet hoods offered by Folmi are an excellent solution for securing and protecting goods during storage and transport. Thanks to high-quality materials, numerous accessories, and customization options, our hoods provide comprehensive protection against weather conditions, dust, and mechanical damage.

Order Fulfillment Process
Order confirmation: Once all the details of the order have been agreed, the customer receives a final quotation for approval. Following its approval, the order is formally accepted for processing.
Print design verification: In the case of an order including a print, the customer receives the final graphic design for approval, which, once approved, is sent for production.
Release for production: Once the order has been confirmed and payment verified, the order details go to the production department, which begins the process of planning and execution.
Production of LDPE plastic: LDPE plastic is produced using an extrusion process. LDPE granulate is heated to a high temperature and passed through an extrusion head to produce a long, thin layer of plastic.
Plastic forming: Plastic may be formed in a number of manners as per the order – it may vary in transparency, coloured, thicknesses to match the customer’s specifications.
Preparation for printing: If the order is for printed bags, the production of plastic is followed by the process of flexographic printing. Matrices (printing forms) are prepared as per the customer-approved design.
Printing on plastic: the LDPE plastic is passed through flexographic machines, which apply the print as per the design. This technique allows designs to be printed quickly and precisely in a range of colours.
Cutting and forming of bags: After printing (or without printing), the LDPE plastic is confectioned, i.e. cut and formed into bags as per the dimensions agreed in the order.
Additional elements: At this stage elements such as handles, perforations may be added, depending on the order specifications.
Product packaging: The finished bags are carefully packed in larger packaging such as cardboard boxes or bulk bags to secure them from damage during transport.
Etykietowanie: Każda partia zamówienia otrzymuje odpowiednie oznaczenia i etykiety, które zawierają informacje o produkcie. Dodatkowo dołączane są dokumenty przewozowe i magazynowe.
Transport set-up: The order is forwarded to a courier company. The customer receives a tracking number and information on the expected delivery time.
Shipment tracking: The customer may track the consignment using a tracking system, which allows them to monitor where their order is at any given time.
Delivery of the order: Goods are delivered to the address indicated by the customer within the specified timeframe.
