1/2 Inch Strapping

Metal strapping is primarily available as steel strapping, which comes in regular-duty, high-tensile, and heavy-duty grades. It's offered in various widths and thicknesses, such as 0.625in x 2940ft coils, and finishes like waxed or painted for corrosion resistance. Steel strapping is ideal for heavy industrial loads like steel coils and lumber bundles.

Steel strapping offers the highest tensile strength of any strapping material, often exceeding 1,000 lbs break strength depending on width and gauge. A 0.625 inch steel strap is engineered for heavy industrial applications like coil and lumber bundling, making it significantly stronger than polyester or polypropylene alternatives of the same width.

1/2 inch strapping is a versatile width commonly used for palletizing, carton bundling, and securing medium-to-heavy loads in warehousing, e-commerce fulfillment, and manufacturing. It's available in polyester (PET) for lumber and heavy loads, and polypropylene for lighter bundling and general packaging needs.

Polyester (PET) strapping offers higher tensile strength, better retained tension, and superior UV and weather resistance, making it suitable for heavy loads like lumber. Polypropylene strapping is more economical and flexible, ideal for lighter bundling tasks such as cartons and general packaging where extreme strength isn't required.

Meridian Packaging offers a minimum order quantity of just 1 coil per unit, allowing businesses of any size to access in-stock steel, polyester, and polypropylene strapping without committing to large volumes. Volume and bulk pricing is available upon request for larger operational needs.

Selection depends on load weight, environment, and budget. Steel strapping suits the heaviest loads like steel coils; polyester works well for lumber and heavy general loads needing retained tension; polypropylene is best for lighter cartons and general packaging.
