No MANULOCK®, no optimum protection. Our multi-layer stretch hoods guarantee maximum reliability for the protection of pallets and goods units during transport as well as storage. Thanks to the sophisticated combination of raw materials, the special structure and the Manupackaging technology, MANULOCK® offers unique advantages, including high elasticity and stretchability.
RELIABLE STRETCH HOOD FOR PALLETS AND UNITS OF GOODS
Our multilayer stretch hood guarantees the best-possible reliability for the protection of pallets and goods units during storage and transport. High quality workmanship, high elasticity and stretchability are guaranteed.

Tips for using our MANULOCK® stretch hoods:
Roll storage
Ideal under a roof – no direct sunlight when stored outdoors!
Storage conditions: max -10°C / + 30°C
Protection against edge damage during warehouse manipulation
Conditioning
In the cold season, rolls should be conditioned 24 – 48 hours before processing
Cold foils have reduced flexibility
Processing
The system should be serviced regularly – many moving parts are subject to wear
Clamping the roll centrally in the machine
When changing rolls, avoid air pockets (balloons) in the film web – the film web can run
Foil cutters should be replaced regularly – poor cuts result in tears
Unnecessary “overstretch” should be avoided if possible – the reefing fingers should be guided as close as possible to the packing edge, the film will thank you with higher restoring force
Storage / Transportation
Freshly applied foil does not yet have the full performance – the foil will follow suit, and the tension on the packaged goods increases for about 24 hours
The piercing of the film with forklift forks (weakening) can be avoided in many machines by placing the film on the top edge of the pallet (load carrier).
Reduce empty spaces when transporting the units – the more form-fitting the load is, the less permanent stress on the packaging film
