Ventilated Wrap – Let Pallets Breathe, Protect with Confidence

When you need to wrap pallets that carry fresh produce, hot-filled goods, or temperature-sensitive items, standard stretch wrap can trap moisture, induce condensation, or cause spoilage. Ventilated wrap (sometimes called breathable or perforated wrap) solves that by allowing airflow while still securing the load.

At Emmoco, we offer ventilated wrap designed for Australian conditions and for integration with your machinery, so your sensitive loads stay safe, dry, and intact from warehouse to delivery.

What Is Ventilated Wrap?

Ventilated wrap is a stretch film that carries pre-punched holes or perforations which open up when the wrap is stretched. These openings allow air to move in and out of the wrapping without compromising wrap integrity.

Once applied, ventilated wrap enables:

• Moisture release and reduction of condensation
• Temperature equalisation across the load
• Air circulation to help fresh goods cool or breathe
• Maintained load security thanks to reinforced film structure

Why Use Ventilated Wrap? – Industrial Benefits

Ventilated wrap is particularly useful in these cases:

• Fresh produce & horticulture: Fruits, vegetables, flowers or potted plants that continue to respire need oxygen; ventilated film helps reduce rot or spoilage.
• Hot fill / thermal loads: Products that leave packing hot (e.g., cans, beverage, sauces) need to dissipate heat and avoid “sweating” under wrap. Ventilated wrap helps cool faster.
• Cold chain / frozen goods: Wrap must not trap moisture that will freeze and cause damage. Ventilation helps reduce frost build-up.
• Agricultural and beverage loads: Where internal air exchange is beneficial in transit.
• Long-range transport: Especially when pallets move through varying temperature zones, ventilated wrap mitigates condensation risks.

By choosing ventilated wrap, industrial operators reduce waste (due to spoilage or damage) and improve product integrity while keeping packaging performance high.

Features We Focus On

When selecting ventilated wrap, these features matter:

1. Hole design & spacing – holes must be finely tuned so the film retains strength while allowing airflow.
2. Pre-stretch capacity – efficient films stretch well so you use less material while maintaining stability.
3. Tear and puncture resistance – perforations should not weaken the wrap under stress or transport.
4. Compatibility with machines – wrap should work with your pallet wrappers (especially power head or pre-stretch units) without jamming or misapplication.

How Emmoco’s Range Supports Your Workflow

At Emmoco, our ventilated wrap selection is intended to match your line, environment, and product type:

• Machine-grade ventilated films for inline pallet wrappers
• Hand wrap / manual ventilated wrap when you need flexibility or small runs
• Custom perforation options depending on load sensitivity
• Technical support to test roll-out and ensure wrap performs under your conditions

We guide you to choose the right perforation pattern, stretch ratio, and film strength so your pallets remain stable even while breathing.

Applications & Use Cases

• Wrap pallets of chilled fruit or vegetables destined for distant retail chains
• Package hot-filled beverage cans that must cool in transit
• Protect floral or nursery plants going from pot lines to markets
• Ship goods through temperature gradients (cold stores to ambient trucks)
• Use in agribusiness, food & beverage processing, export operations

In each scenario, ventilated wrap bridges the gap between security and airflow.
