VentX Unico is the world’s most innovative, effective, and sustainable ventilated pallet wrapping solution. This award-winning innovation guarantees optimum ventilation and superior load containment while halving ventilated pallet wrap usage.  
 
This method of pallet ventilation uses bands of film that wrap around the pallet load rather than regular wide-stretch film with holes in it. The VentX Unico is separated into three rolls that are 20mm apart on the 1 continuous core. These three bands of the film are dispensed through the VentX Unico device on the Omni pallet wrapper, creating the ventilated pallet wrapping film.  
 
The three sets of roping fingers of this mechanism are adjustable, allowing the band of stretch wrap to be set at varied widths. Adjusting the width of the film bands allows the containment force to be modified to suit each type of pallet load. For heavy and unstable pallet loads, the width between ropers can be reduced to create narrower bands of film. This acts as a strong cable around the pallet, providing optimum holding force around the load while still allowing excellent load ventilation. As a result of this unique patented design, the bands of pallet wrapping film are stronger and more reliable, providing consistent release and eliminating all breakages. This feature also solves the problem of stretch wrap tails at the end of the wrapping cycle.
 
The VentX Unico Ventilated Pallet Wrapping Solution is the perfect alternative to the conventional 30-um ventilated wrap. The VentX method uses less than half the plastic, significantly reduces wrapping costs, and improves load ventilation and containment. To achieve sufficient load containment with regular vented stretch film, more wraps around the pallet are required. This means that by the time the pallet is wrapped appropriately for that load, the holes in the ventilated pallet wrap are almost completely covered, restricting the ability of the load to breathe. Whereas the VentX Unico method with three bands of the film provides much greater load aeration compared to the small holes in a ventilated wrap that are more restrictive to airflow.  
 
Features and Benefits:   

• Avoid fresh produce damage and contamination - Unico Film is perfect for wrapping loads of fresh produce that are likely to get damaged by ripening gases, humidity, and mould.
• Load Types: Vegetables, Fruit, Flowers, Plants, Eggs, Cheese, etc.

• Reduce load cooling time - Unico is perfect for wrapping loads that require fast cooling. Regular stretch wrap acts as an insulation for the load, increasing cooling time. Wrapping pallets with banded stretch wrap allows air to flow through the pallet, cooling the load faster. With VentX Unico, freezer temperature isn’t required to be as low, therefore reducing electricity costs. Load Types: Meat, Fish, Dairy products, Frozen Food

• Prevent Hot-Fill Product Damage - Wrapping pallets of hot fill products with vented stretch wrap allows the load to breathe, preventing condensation and rust. VentX Unico Wrap will also reduce cooling time of hot products as regular stretch wrap acts as an insulation for the load.
• Load Types: Breweries, Canned Foods, Drinks, Catered Food.

• Achieve optimum load containment - More than 50% of pallet load damage is due to ineffective pallet wrapping, costing companies millions per year. The load containment force of VentX Unico is significantly more than conventional ventilated films due to the cable like stretch film bands holding the pallet secure. This means fewer wrapping rotations are required to secure each pallet load.  
• Reduce Plastic Usage by 50% - Use more sustainable packaging solutions and help save our environment. VentX Unico solution uses less than half the amount of plastic required to wrap a pallet compared to regular ventilated pallet wrapping methods.

The VentX Unico Ventilated Stretch Wrapping Solution recently won the WorldStar 2022 Global Packaging Award and was a finalist in the 2021 PIDA awards for sustainable packaging innovation.
