Automatic Stretch Wrapping with Airflow Stretch Film

Optimal ventilation for your products has been a challenge for years. Rather than solving the problem, costly workaround solutions have become the norm. Your business is likely paying for expensive corrugated packaging solutions, extra adhesives, unnecessary secondary/tertiary venting and load containment materials or needless equipment.

Lower your overall packaging costs and speed up time-to-market with Airflow, the ultra-strong, breathable vented stretch film that allows heat, moisture and off-gas release while containing your products with a superior holding force.

Stretch wrapping with Airflow film is increasingly used in high-temperature packaging applications where airflow, rapid cooling, and load stability are critical. In industries such as food, chemicals, and plastics, hot-filled products like buckets or pails require secure unitization without trapping heat or moisture. Phoenix automatic stretch wrapping solutions, including rotary ring technology, are designed to meet these demands while supporting consistent, high-throughput operations.

Why Use Airflow Film for Hot Products?

Airflow stretch film is a specialized stretch film material engineered with an open structure. Unlike conventional stretch film, Airflow allows heat to dissipate and air to circulate around the load. This makes it well suited for wrapping hot products immediately after filling or processing, reducing the need for cooling buffers in the production line.

When buckets containing hot products are wrapped using Airflow film, the load remains stable while excess heat escapes naturally. This approach supports product integrity, minimizes condensation risk, and helps maintain downstream handling efficiency.
