To cordon or strap the goods, there are different strap materials that are used depending on which sectors.

The stretch film is the consumable option that allows you to create a custom-made cover for the merchandise, with the advantages that this entails.

In addition, the choice of a film from a recognized manufacturer such as OMS, guarantees its resistance and savings by optimizing the extension used in stretching.

Adhesive tape with multiple functions

The adhesive tape allows you to close boxes, or group merchandise with the addition of being able to customize this same tape for promotional purposes.

In this way, the consumable, in addition to fulfilling its function, serves the advertising objectives.

Stretch Hood, the best barrier

One of the latest innovations in the field of polyethylene films is the Stretch Hood. What does it consist of? It is a consumable that, through the application of heat, creates a heat-shrinkable sleeve that adapts perfectly to the merchandise, whether it is palletized or not.

Due to its morphology and benefits, the Stretch Hood is therefore a consumable that guarantees the integrity of the load against breaks, punctures and tears.
