Reaching destinations safely

Whether it be washing machines or stacks of drinks packs, bags of gypsum or gallons of whiskey - these goods have one thing in common: they are heavy, in some cases they are stacked on top of one another, and they need to be transported and protected.

The RKW-Group has developed flexible, strong films to meet these requirements: our shrink films and stretch hoods are waterproof and dustproof. They protect your palleted goods against moisture, dirt and theft. Special formulas prevent the film and goods which are being transported from sticking together, and single-type raw materials make it easier to dispose of the films after use.

Catering for everybody's needs

We talk continuously to leading machine manufacturers and raw-material suppliers and work closely with our customers to help us to develop and produce innovative, state-of-the-art film solutions. All our efforts here are focussed on meeting the individual, demanding requirements of our customers.

This is why our versatile, highly durable and resilient transport and pallet safety films are used today throughout the world to store and transport palleted goods safely and efficiently.

RKW shrink films

No matter where the packaged goods press against the film, RKW shrink films are sure to hold up strong. Boasting very high retaining forces in all directions, they wrap around even unstable goods such as drinks bottles, for example, to make them safe for transportation.

Thanks to their excellent machinability, RKW shrink films can be processed on all well-known packaging machines at high speeds.

Features:

• No lamination between film and packaged goods
• High degree of elasticity and  restoring forces
• Extremely high resistance to tearing and piercing
• UV stabilisation / UV barrier

The product alternatives:

• Transparent, colour or printed film or hood
• Coextruded three-layer film or monofilm
• Automatic machine film or ready-made individual hood for manual shrinking procedures

Areas of application:

• Shrink packaging for drinks
• Catalogues, newspapers and magazines
• Wood and panels

RKW stretch hoods

The stretch hoods produced in the form of a tube can be stretched to a great extent. This creates high film restoring forces with a permanent elastic force which reliably stabilise the packaged goods on the pallet both horizontally and vertically. The pronounced stretchability also reduces the amount of material employed and provides a very smooth surface with a good display impact.

RKW stretch hoods can be processed on all well-known hood-stretch machines and do not require an open heat source. This makes it possible to package even heat-sensitive goods without a risk of fire.

 Features:

• High degree of elasticity and restoring forces
• Extremely high resistance to tearing and piercing
• UV stabilisation / UV barrier
• Perforated and pinned
• Antistatic features possible

The product alternatives:

• Transparent, colour or printed film or hood
• Coextruded three-layer film
• Automatic machine film or ready-made individual hood for semi-automatic machines
  

Areas of application:

• Pallets with packaging for turf, soil and wood chippings
• Pallets with packaging for chemical pellets
• Pallets with drinks packaging
• Cement, gypsum and building materials
• Paving stones, roofing tiles and tiles
• White goods such as washing machines and refrigerators
• Newspapers and magazines
• Jumbo units of insulating material products
