Best Packaging Strapping

Strapping is a banding material—steel, polyester (PET), or polypropylene (PP)—tensioned and sealed around a pallet, carton, or bundle to hold items securely together during handling, storage, and transit. It prevents load shifting, protects against damage, and is essential for stabilizing heavy or irregular shipments.

Steel strapping offers the highest tensile strength for heavy industrial loads like steel coils. Polyester (PET) strapping is a lighter, more flexible alternative with strong tension retention, ideal for lumber and heavy palletized goods. Polypropylene (PP) strapping is the most economical, suited for light bundling, cartons, and general packaging.

Strapping width and length depend on load weight, pallet size, and application. Heavier loads typically require wider straps (0.625 in) and higher-tensile materials like steel or PET, while lighter cartons work well with 0.5 in polypropylene. Contact our team for a custom recommendation based on your load requirements.

Strapping coils are available with a minimum order quantity of just 1 coil, allowing businesses of any size to test materials or fulfill smaller operational needs. Volume and bulk pricing is available for recurring or larger orders, with custom quotes provided based on quantity and delivery location.

Yes, fiberboard edge protectors (2x2x24 in) are available to pair with strapping, distributing tension evenly across pallet corners and edges to prevent cut-in, crushing, and load damage during transit. They're sold in cartons of 200 units with volume pricing available for bulk orders.

Fiberboard edge protectors are single-use accessories placed under strapping to protect pallet corners from cutting or crushing. Rubber pallet bands are fully reusable stretch bands that secure loads without strapping or stretch wrap, making them ideal for repeated in-house moves and reducing single-use packaging waste.
