Stretch Hooding and Stretch Wrapping
Top-quality finish of the pallet and total load protection.
Pallet protection is the last step in the manufacturing process. Although it might seem the least important, it also has a huge impact in some industries where, for example, pallet presentation characteristics are key or where outdoor storage is a necessity.
Explore the available technologies
As a single supplier for the entire production line, PAYPER offers equipment for dosing, bagging, palletizing, and wrapping to end the process. We offer a variety of pallet protection technologies designed to secure and protect finished pallets during handling and storage. The level of protection and stability required depends on the palletizing method and the type of the bagged product. To meet these needs, we provide three distinct pallet wrapping systems: stretch hooders, rotary arm wrappers, and turntable wrappers.

PAYPER, the leading company in bagging and palletizing solutions, participated during the month of June in two of the most important events of the sector: Expo Pack Guadalajara 2025 and Foro Mascotas 2025, presenting its innovative technologies for end-of-line process automation.
We recently held the first webinar on PULSAR S, our all-in-one digital solution designed to streamline decision making and improve operational efficiency in the bagging environment.
When it comes to protecting palletized goods, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. In this article we compare three key technologies in pallet protection to help you choose the best pallet protection system: Stretch Hooding, Rotary Ring Wrapping Machine and Turntable Wrapping Machine.
PAYPER was present at FENAGRA 2025, one of the most important fairs in South America for the animal nutrition, oil processing, and agro-industry sectors.
The global demand for fertilizers is increasing, driven by a rapidly growing population. Meeting this demand requires an intensified approach to agricultural production, where fertilizers play an important role. However, the fertilizer industry's unique challenges demand careful consideration, especially when it comes to packaging.
At PAYPER, we prioritize robust design, ensuring easy access for cleaning and maintenance, which in turn maximizes uptime for your operations. All our open-mouth baggers feature our advanced dosing and weighing systems. Our dynamic weight controller, MSX, is specifically tailored for the bag-filling process, allowing maximum weighing precision at high bagging speeds.
