Product Highlights
  • Maximum Aeration in transportation

In order to guarantee an excellent product, floricultural products need to breathe at all times. If moisture is allowed to build up or if there is not a sufficient amount of air circulating, they can become damaged and spoiled. AirOFilm®Flowra prevents this.

  • Protecting the load

The carefully measured aeration that AirOFilm®Flowra provides not only helps to maintain a controlled environment but also protects the load, ensuring that leaves and flowers remain within the trolley. This ensures that the load always arrives in the best possible condition.

  • User friendly

Wrapping a trolley with AirOFilm®Flowra couldn't be easier. It offers a smooth self-adhesive application that can be torn by hand at the end of the wrapping process. The AirOFilm®Flowra is the best vented stretch film for wrapping flowers.

  • Inner tack / outer slip

Ease of use when wrapping is critical. That’s why we designed AirOFilm®Flowra so that only the inner side has tack. The outside remains slippery, ensuring that trolleys can be loaded onto trucks and transported without any problems.

  • Low weight / high elasticity

One of the most important elements of AirOFilm®Flowra is the way that is constructed. Using a carefully controlled formula, it offers a high level of elasticity from a surprisingly thin film. This also makes it much easier for you to apply.

  • Environmentally friendly

Because less film is used, less plastic is needed. This means that AirOFilm®Flowra is much kinder on the environment because it creates less waste. Also, because you only use one component when wrapping it is much easier to dispose of. AirOFilm®Flowra is 100% recyclable.

Advantages of AirOFilm® Flowra
  • Use Less - Save More

Due to the unique design of Air-O-Film® Flowra you need less material to wrap a load when compared to alternative solutions. Not only does this minimize the packaging cost, it has the added benefit of being more environmentally friendly.

  • Weight Vs. Holding Force

Providing the right amount of elasticity whilst keeping the weight of the film down requires a very fine balance. Air-O-Film Flowra provides the best possible performance using the least amount of material whilst ensuring the.

  • Inner Cling / Outer Slip

Air-O-Film® Flowra is made using a carefully controlled formula so that only the inner side has tack. This means that not only does it have the ability to cling to itself, the outer slip surface prevents trolleys from sticking together during handling or transportation.

  • Ventilation & Protection

The size of the hole is critical when it comes to ventilated film. Too small and it will not allow the air to circulate. Too large and the flowers may protrude and get damaged. Unlike many other films on the market, Air-O-Film® Flowra gets the balance just right.

  • Easy To Tear

Securing the load is critical, but the film you use must also be easy to work with, especially when wrapping by hand. Due to the unique structure of Air-O-Film® Flowra it is easy to tear once the trolley is wrapped.

  • Forklift Friendly

Like netting, the reinforcing strips on competitive products can often come away from the base film and become entangled within the wheels and bearings of forklifts. The design of Air-O-Film® Flowra prevents this from happening.
