The Problem

Is Your Pallet Wrap Trapping Moisture?

Trapped moisture can weaken packaging, lead to mold and mildew, and degrade products that continue to breathe after they are wrapped.

Moisture can come from washing, cooling, temperature changes or your product if it continues to release heat, moisture or gases after packing.

When it becomes trapped after wrapping, condensation can collect on products, cases and packaging.

Built to Breathe. Engineered to Hold.

AirFlow’s reinforced openings allow air to circulate and trapped heat, moisture and gases to escape while strong film bands maintain load containment.

AirFlow can help you:

Reduce trapped condensation

Release heat and moisture

Protect packaging integrity

Limit conditions that contribute to mold

Reduce manual ventilation workarounds

AirFlow vented stretch film is ideal for fresh produce, eggs, dairy products, flowers, plants, hot-filled foods and other operations with products that release heat or moisture after wrapping.

FAQs

What causes condensation inside a wrapped pallet?

Condensation can form when humid air meets colder products or packaging. Without ventilation, that moisture may remain trapped inside the load.

Can pallet wrap contribute to mold?

Pallet wrap does not create mold, but restricted airflow can trap moisture and contribute to conditions where mold and mildew develop.

How does vented stretch film help?

AirFlow lets air circulate and moisture escape while maintaining secure pallet containment.

What products need moisture release?

Fresh produce, eggs, dairy products, flowers, plants, hot-filled foods and other products that release heat or moisture after wrapping may benefit.

Can AirFlow prevent all condensation and mold?

While temperature, humidity, sanitation and storage also matter. AirFlow helps address restricted ventilation as one contributing factor.
