Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a stretch hood arrangement (200) enclosing a stack of articles (201) arranged on a pallet (203) in multiple layers including a base layer (207), a top layer (209) and one or more intermediate layers, said stretch hood arrangement (200) comprising: a polymer film tubular band (215) stretched around at least the base layer (207) of the stack; a polymer film stretch hood (213) enclosing the top and sides of the stack; characterized in that the polymer film of the tubular band (215) has a higher elasticity than the polymer film of the stretch hood. The present disclosure further relates to the use of a the stretch hood arrangement for collection and transport of a stack of articles (201), preferably for collection and transport of a stack of bottles arranged on a pallet (203) in multiple layers.
Claims20
A stretch hood arrangement enclosing a stack of articles arranged on a pallet in multiple layers including a base layer, a top layer and one or more intermediate layers, the stretch hood arrangement comprising:
- a polymer film tubular band stretched around at least the base layer of the stack;
- a polymer film stretch hood enclosing a top and sides of the stack;
- wherein
- the polymer film of the tubular band has a higher elasticity than the polymer film of the stretch hood, such that said tubular band applies a holding force to at least the base layer and acts to prevent deformation of at least the base layer of the stack of articles.
A method for enclosing a stack of articles, arranged on a pallet in multiple layers including a base layer, a top layer and one or more intermediate layers, said method comprising the steps:
- a) applying a polymer film tubular band stretched around at least a base layer of the stack;
- b) applying a polymer film stretch hood enclosing a top and sides of the stack;
- wherein the polymer film of the tubular band has a higher elasticity than the polymer film of the stretch hood, such that said tubular band applies a holding force to at least the base layer and acts to prevent deformation of at least the base layer of the stack of articles.
