Abstract: A multi-layer polyolefinic film for the unitization of goods is described. The multi-layer film has a multi-layer structure comprising various polyolefinic compositions, the polyolefinic layers having microcrystalline orientation providing the multi-layer film the ability to shrink in response to heat. The heat shrinkable multi-layer film may be placed over a good or a collection of loosely assembled goods and subjected to heat so that the film shrinks causing the good to be contained by the multi-layer film. The multi-layer film has sufficient clarity so that the good or goods can be visually seen through the film. The heat shrinkable polyolefinic multi-layer films are useful for applications where the loosely assembled goods require containment, but where it is also beneficial for the identity of the goods to not be obscured.

Abstract: A polyolefinic composition and film made thereof for heat shrinking goods is described. The polyolefinic composition and film made thereof comprises a blend of polyethylene that shrink in response to heat so as to contain a good. The heat shrinkable film may be placed over a good and subjected to heat so that the film shrinks causing the good to be subjected to a predetermined shrink tension with sufficient tensile and puncture properties to contain the good. Heat shrink polyolefinic films are used for applications where the goods to contain may be loosely assembled goods.

Abstract: A stretch hooder for palletizing goods is described. The stretch hooder is a one-piece hood made in the machine direction from a continuous roll of lay flat tubing or gusseted film. The stretch hooder film may be stretched over a load and secured under the pallet. Stretch hooders are used for applications where pallet loads require five-sided protection that may also encounter stress during shipping or where products are sensitive to heat, thus preventing the use of other palletizing approaches.
