There are two types of hooding systems:

STRETCH HOODING SYSTEM

Stretch hooding applies a stretchable, gusseted plastic bag to a pack without using heat. The hood machine draws stretch film to the desired length, welds and cuts it to form the hood before it’s lowered over the pack to the desired position (often at conveyor level).

SHRINK HOODING SYSTEM

Shrink hooding involves applying a heat shrinkable bag to a pack and then shrinking it to the pack using hot air emitted from gas burners (LPG or natural gas).
