AirFlow™ vented stretch film allows cold air, ambient air and sterilant gases to move more freely through wrapped loads, supporting faster cooling, freezing, heat release and off-gassing.
Faster Cooling & Off-Gassing
The Problem
When Air Can’t Move, Neither Can Your Product
Traditional stretch film can restrict airflow around a wrapped load. Products may take longer to cool, freeze, release retained heat or complete required aeration before they can move to the next stage.
Longer cycle times create bottlenecks, increase dwell time and leave products, pallets, equipment and transportation waiting
Is Restricted Airflow Slowing You Down?
If these issues are slowing your operation, better airflow through the load may help shorten cycle times, free up space and keep products moving.
Faster Cooling & Off-Gassing
What Is Waiting Costing Your Operation?
Slow cooling, freezing and aeration can tie up valuable floor space, increase labour and handling, delay shipments and limit the number of loads your operation can process.
Improved airflow can help support:
- Active cooling
- Flash freezing
- Heat dissipation
- Natural off-gassing
- EO sterilant gas circulation
- Post-sterilization aeration
It’s Time to Rethink Your Packaging Costs
Reduce Spoilage & Rejections
Open Your Loads to AirFlow
AirFlow’s perforated design creates open ventilation across the wrapped load.
This allows cold air, ambient air or process gases to circulate more freely and provides the containment needed for handling, storage and transport.

Better Gas Movement Through the Wrapped Load
For one Pharmaceutical company, a returning trailer had to remain open and idle for 24 hours before it could be reloaded. See how improved airflow changed the process.

Flash-Freezing Applications
Freeze Faster. Keep Production Moving.
AirFlow vented stretch film allows cold air to circulate through the load, supporting faster, more even freezing and greater processing efficiency.
Dairy Producers
Cool Faster. Keep Production Moving.
Solid stretch film can trap heat around pallets of yogurt, cheese and other dairy products, slowing cooling and occupying valuable cold-storage space.

FAQs
AirFlow vented stretch film allows cold or ambient air to move through the wrapped load instead of being blocked by solid stretch film. Improved airflow can help heat escape and support faster, more even cooling.
AirFlow can improve the circulation of cold air around products during cooling and freezing. This may shorten cooling and freezing cycles, reduce dwell time and help products move through the operation more efficiently. Actual results will depend on the product, load configuration, temperature and process.
AirFlow’s perforated design allows moisture and heat to escape instead of remaining trapped by solid stretch film. The amount of condensation reduction will depend on factors such as product temperature, humidity, cold-chain conditions and pallet configuration.
Off-gassing occurs when products release gases after production, packaging or sterilization. Solid stretch film can restrict the movement of those gases, while AirFlow vented stretch film allows them to escape more freely from the load.
AirFlow is suited to products that retain heat, require active cooling or freezing, or release gases after wrapping. Applications include hot-filled products, frozen and chilled foods, fresh p
When restricted airflow is contributing to long cooling, freezing or aeration cycles, AirFlow may help reduce the time loads occupy cooling areas, freezers, aeration rooms or warehouse space. A packaging analysis can determine whether pallet wrap is part of the bottleneck.
AirFlow vented stretch film can support applications that require ethylene oxide, or EO, sterilant gas to move through and dissipate from a wrapped load. An AirFlow expert will work with you to assess your product, wrapping pattern, process and sterilization requirements and help identify the right AirFlow configuration.
