Air-Flow Pallet Wrap is a pallet stretch film with die cut holes for ventilation. Air-Flow is a proven solution for the agricultural, medical and beverage packing industries. Air-Flow comes in two variations: Air-Flow Standard (conventional machines) and Air-Flow Premium (prestretch machines).

Air-Flow has the advantages of regular pallet stretch film combined with netting wrap. Air-Flow is an LLDPE product, after use the material can be recycled with stretch film products.

Sterile medical packaging demand to rise 6% annually through 2010.

By 2010, U.S. demand for such packaging is forecast to reach $4.4 billion. What's behind the projected growth? "Pharmaceutical and biological applications will lead growth as advances in the life sciences contribute new injectable and inhalation therapies for cancer, heart disorders and other diseases." That's according to "Sterile Medical Packaging," a new study from The Freedonia Group, Inc. Plastic resins—especially polyvinyl chloride, polyethylenes, polypropylene and thermoplastic polyesters—will continue to dominate the market for sterile packaging raw materials.
