Plastic Strapping

Break strength varies by material and width. Polypropylene strapping typically handles lighter loads like cartons and bundling, while polyester (PET) strapping offers significantly higher tensile strength, making it suitable for heavy loads like lumber and steel coils. Actual strength depends on strap width, thickness, and sealing method used.

Common sizes include 0.5in x 7200ft and 0.625in x 6000ft coils for polypropylene, and 0.5in x 7200ft for polyester. Width and length vary by material and intended load, so it's important to match strap dimensions to your bundling or palletizing requirements.

Polyester (PET) strapping offers higher tensile strength and better retained tension over time, making it ideal for heavy or rigid loads like lumber. Polypropylene (PP) strapping is more economical and flexible, suited for lighter bundling, cartons, and general packaging where high strength isn't required.

Minimum order quantity is just 1 coil, allowing businesses to test products or fulfill smaller packaging needs without committing to bulk purchases. Volume and bulk pricing are available for larger orders, with custom quotes tailored to quantity and delivery location.

Consider load weight, rigidity, and environmental conditions. Steel strapping suits the heaviest industrial loads, polyester works well for lumber and heavy load securing, and polypropylene is cost-effective for cartons and light bundling.

Yes, polyester (PET) strapping is specifically designed for heavier load securing, including lumber and other rigid materials. It offers strength comparable to steel strapping in many applications while being lighter, safer to handle, and more cost-effective.
