Folmi offers specialized pallet hoods designed to provide optimal protection for palletized goods. These hoods provide excellent protection against weather conditions, moisture, dust, and mechanical damage during storage and transport. Used in numerous industries, from food to chemical, our hoods are a reliable solution for companies concerned about the safety of their products.
Production Capabilities
Material: Pallet hoods are manufactured from LDPE, HDPE, MDPE, and LDPE regranulate. These materials guarantee adequate strength, resistance to external conditions, and flexibility, ensuring effective protection of goods. The use of LDPE regranulate allows us to conduct production in a more environmentally friendly manner while maintaining high quality standards.
Hood Width: Our hoods are manufactured with a circumference of up to 5400 mm, ensuring full protection of goods on pallets, ensuring their stability and protection from external factors.
Hood Length: We offer hoods up to 3500 mm long, allowing for flexible product adaptation to pallet height and the type of materials being packaged, ensuring proper protection during transport.
Hood Thickness: Our hoods are available in thicknesses from 20 μm to 300 μm, allowing for hood strength to be tailored to specific applications, from lightweight to heavier materials requiring special protection.
Add-ons
To ensure the full functionality of our EURO pallet hoods, we offer a wide range of add-ons that enhance their effectiveness:
UV – UV protection ensures that the hoods maintain their properties even after prolonged exposure to sunlight, which is particularly important when storing goods outdoors.
Dyes – the hoods can be dyed, which supports product identification and allows for visual customization of the hoods to the customer's brand standards.
Anti-block, slip – an additive that prevents the hoods from sticking together, making them easier to place on pallets and speeding up logistics processes.
Anti-slip – a special additive that ensures better stability of the hoods on pallets, minimizing the risk of shifting during transport.
ESD – antistatic hoods protect goods against electrostatic discharge, which is particularly important when packaging sensitive materials.
Low-temperature elasticizer – an additive that ensures the hoods remain flexible even at very low temperatures, which is crucial when storing goods in refrigerated conditions.
Printing Flexo – allows for printing information such as the company logo, product markings, or instructions for use, which enhances brand recognition and packaging functionality.
Perforation – perforation allows for improved product ventilation, which is beneficial when packaging products that require adequate air circulation.

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.
