What is MIMA HOOD Stretch Hood?
MIMA HOOD Stretch Hood is a high-performance stretch hood film manufactured from 100% LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene). Drawing on more than 40 years of polymer manufacturing expertise, we have developed a film that delivers consistent quality and dependable performance across a wide range of palletized products and industries.
While optimized for use with our Lachenmeier® automatic stretch hooders, MIMA HOOD Stretch Hood is also compatible with most stretch hood systems, giving customers greater flexibility to improve pallet protection and load containment. Available in a variety of formats and custom specifications, the film can be tailored to meet specific packaging requirements.
Manufactured at our facility in Virton, Belgium, MIMA HOOD Stretch Hood is engineered to provide a predictable and efficient packaging process while helping protect products throughout transportation and storage.
