Folmi offers heat-shrinkable hoods designed to provide excellent protection for goods during storage and transport. Thanks to their heat-shrinkable properties, our hoods perfectly conform to the shape of the packaged products, ensuring their stability and protection against weather conditions, moisture, dust, and mechanical damage. Heat-shrinkable hoods are used in numerous industries, such as the food, chemical, and construction industries, ensuring maximum product safety.
Production Options
Material: Our heat-shrinkable hoods are made from LDPE, HDPE, MDPE, and LDPE regranulate. These materials are characterized by excellent strength, flexibility, and the ability to shrink under the influence of heat, ensuring a perfect fit for the packaged goods. The use of LDPE regranulate allows for a more environmentally friendly approach to production without compromising quality.
Hood width: We manufacture hoods with a circumference of up to 5400 mm, allowing for full adaptation to various pallet sizes and types, regardless of their shape, ensuring the stability and safety of transported goods.
Hood length: Hoods are available in lengths up to 3500 mm, providing flexibility to adapt to pallet heights and the type of products being packaged, ensuring adequate protection in every situation.
Hood thickness: We offer hoods in thicknesses ranging from 20 μm to 300 μm, allowing for the appropriate strength to be selected depending on specific needs – from lightweight materials to heavier ones requiring special protection.
Additives
To ensure the highest functionality of heat-shrinkable hoods, we offer a variety of additives that enhance their utility value:
UV – an additive that protects hoods from the harmful effects of UV radiation, extending the material's durability and protecting products from degradation even during long-term outdoor storage.
Dyes – the ability to customize the color of hoods to customer needs, facilitating product identification, supporting warehouse organization, and strengthening brand visual identity.
Anti-block, slip – a special additive that prevents hoods from sticking together, making them easier to use and enabling quick and convenient application of hoods to pallets.
Anti-slip – an anti-slip additive that increases the stability of hoods on pallets, minimizing the risk of product shifting during transport, which is crucial for logistics safety.
ESD – antistatic hoods that effectively protect sensitive products from electrostatic discharge, which is particularly important when packaging electronic components and chemicals.
Low-temperature elasticizer – an additive that ensures hoods remain flexible even at high temperatures. Extremely low temperatures (down to -29°C), which is crucial for cold storage and transport in freezing conditions.
Flexo printing – hoods can be personalized with information such as the company logo, product markings, or instructions, supporting branding and streamlining logistics processes.
Perforation – perforation improves ventilation, which is beneficial for materials requiring air circulation, such as agricultural products or raw materials, minimizing the risk of condensation.
Applications
Thermo-shrink hoods offered by Folmi are the ideal solution for protecting goods during storage and transport.

Professional Heat Shrink Hoods for Pallets
Heat shrink hoods are a type of specially formulated heat shrink film cover that is ideal for protecting materials transported and stored on pallets. Due to the material's strength and flexibility, as well as the ease of packaging, heat shrink hoods are widely used wherever pallets are used to transport and store fuel, wood, food, automotive parts, construction materials, plastics, and much more.
Order what you really need!
As a professional manufacturer of heat shrink hoods, we offer our customers a variety of heat shrink hoods for pallets, adapting to their individual needs. We can customize our products in terms of size, properties, and appearance: we can suggest a specific film color, and this You can print a company logo, product specifications, or instructions for transport or unpacking materials.
What is packaging products in heat-shrinkable hoods?
Packing products in heat-shrinkable hoods is a simple and relatively quick process. Products stored on a pallet or pad are placed in an appropriately sized heat-shrinkable hood. Using a heat gun or specialized heat-shrink tunnel, the film is heated and shrinks, adhering tightly to the surface of the packaged goods.

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.
