That’s why we’re proud to partner with Bocedi, a respected Italian manufacturer with more than half a century of expertise in pallet packaging technology.
Who Is Bocedi?
Bocedi srl is based in Northern Italy and is widely recognised for producing state‑of‑the‑art end‑of‑line packaging machinery. With more than 50 years of global experience, Bocedi designs solutions that span industries such as logistics, food & beverage, construction materials, and more.

Bocedi Stretch Hooders: Premium Pallet Protection
Stretch hooding technology is now one of the fastest growing methods for pallet packaging and load stabilisation. Unlike traditional systems, stretch hooders use elastic tubular film, stretched and released around a pallet load to deliver excellent coverage and load security without heat. Bocedi’s machines use this technology to deliver weather‑resistant and highly stable packaging for a wide range of pallet shapes and sizes.
We’re proud to supply several models from Bocedi’s stretch hood range, giving our customers access to versatile, scalable solutions that can be matched to their exact production needs.
