What is the difference between shrink wrap and a stretch hood?

Shrink wrap shrinks under the influence of temperature – it requires a shrink tunnel or a heat gun. Stretch hood stretches mechanically under tension and does not require heating – it is used on automatic packaging lines with a dedicated hooding head. Both products stabilise pallets, but the application technology and machinery investment differ.
