Boost efficiency with outstanding packaging solutions! Industrial packaging films
Shrink film is a type of polyethylene packaging film that shrinks under the influence of temperature and takes the shape of the packaged product. It contributes to the perfect positioning of packaged materials.
Our shrink film provides maximum protection for your products from external influences, such as weather and wind, or during transportation. Shrink film achieves its strength through the shrinkage of the film during heating and becomes rigid when it cools down again. Once the film has cooled, high strength is achieved both longitudinally and transversely. This ensures high load stability of products and pallets during transportation and storage.
Industrial Packaging Films. Shrink Film and Stretch Hood
Shrink film is used for both automatic and manual pallet packaging. It can also be used for automatic packaging of products without pallets, such as carbonated water, canned food, or any beverages. It also works well with products such as books, magazines, household appliances, sanitary ware, or building materials such as bricks and cement.
This is a family of multi-layer products that guarantee maximum reliability for the protection of pallets and product units during transportation and storage. Due to a sophisticated combination of raw materials, a special structure, and manufacturing technology, it offers a number of unique advantages, including high strength and elasticity.
Advantages:
- Excellent stability, no waste;
- The film creates stability on the pallet — an advantage both in transportation and storage;
- Wrinkle-free packaging combined with ease and speed of packaging;
- Reliable protection of goods from external influences;
- Protection of your goods from deformation during transportation;
- Prevention of unauthorized opening of goods;
- Space-saving during warehouse storage;
- The product and brand are clearly visible through the transparent packaging;
- Brand awareness and identity thanks to the possibility of printing or coloring the film;
- Shrink film is well suited for pressure-sensitive goods — it does not damage the shape of the product or the integrity of the label;
- 100% recyclable;
- Low packaging weight.
It allows saving electricity. Save up to 10% on each pallet when packaging in three-layer shrink films. They feature 15-20% higher strength compared to a single-layer film of similar thickness. By reducing the film thickness without deteriorating its performance characteristics, it is possible to lower the temperature in the shrink tunnel and thus save electricity.

As a result of years of experience, special raw material blends, and modern production technologies, our shrink films are extremely reliable and stable, yet light and thin. During the production process, shrink film can be modified with various types of additives:
- Slip additives;
- Antiblocks;
- Antistatics;
- UV filters;
- Light stabilizers;
- Thermal stabilizers, etc.
Our packaging film can be manufactured with properties that are ideal for food packaging. Thanks to the use of high-quality European raw materials, high production standards, and laboratory testing, our films meet the high quality standards required for food packaging.
We develop a customized film formulation for the needs of each client.
Stretch Hood. An Economical Solution for Automated Packaging Processes.
Stretch hood film from Planeta Plastik LLC is an economical product packaging solution for automated packaging processes. The film features high strength and packaging tightness. The cargo is firmly pressed against the pallet. The holding force of stretch hood packaging is significantly higher than that of shrink film packaging. In addition, the holding force of stretch hood film acts constantly, in any position of the pallet, during various shifts and impacts during transportation.
Advantages:
- Goods in a stretch hood can be stored outdoors for up to 3 years*;
- Extremely high resistance to tears and punctures;
- Increases packaging speed by 3 times;
- Transparency and gloss;
- Reliable stability at high net weights;
- Ideal for automated packaging processes;
- 100% recyclable;
- Saves resources and energy.
*if the film is modified with light-stabilizing additives
The use of stretch hood film reduces film consumption per packaging unit several times, helping to optimize personnel costs and energy consumption.
Stretch hood film features high transparency and gloss. The result is a beautiful and bright appearance for your product. Packaging goods in stretch hoods is an ideal solution for complex packaging tasks. Due to its extraordinary resistance to tearing and puncture, the stretch hood reliably withstands sharp edges and even heavy net weights, making it suitable as packaging for the chemical and construction industries, for example.
Operating Principle of Stretch Hood Film.
Not only the product but also the pallet itself on which the load stands is wrapped in stretch hood film. Thanks to this, the load is tightly secured and does not move, preventing a potential fall during transportation. There are even enterprises where unloading and loading operations are performed by cranes without support under the pallets; that is, when the pallet with the products is in the air, it is held in place due to the clamping force of the stretch hood film.
Planet Plastic LLC pays special attention to quality and functionality when adapting packaging films to our clients’ needs. We know how important it is that packaging not only protects the product from external influences but also performs according to the wishes and needs of each customer. We do our best to ensure that our customers always receive the highest quality at the minimum possible cost per unit. Each of our customers receives a film adapted to their needs in terms of, for example, strength, dimensions, clamping force, or surface properties of the film.
Planet Plastic LLC represents modern solutions for packaging your products. Our goal is to develop packaging solutions that save resources, are economically viable, and are designed optimally for the requirements of each client.
