Frequently Asked Questions

We offer a wide range of strapping materials tailored to different packaging needs, including:

  • Polyester Strapping: Known for its excellent strength and tension retention, suitable for securing medium to heavy loads.
  • Polypropylene Strapping: Lightweight and cost-effective, ideal for light to medium-duty applications.
  • Steel Strapping: The strongest option, perfect for heavy-duty applications requiring maximum durability and security.

Choosing the right strapping material depends on several factors:

  • Load Weight: For heavy loads, steel or polyester strapping is recommended. For lighter loads, polypropylene is often sufficient.
  • Environmental Conditions: If the packages will be exposed to sunlight or high temperatures, polyester is a better choice due to its UV and temperature resistance.
  • Load Stability: Polyester strapping is ideal for loads that might shift or expand during transit as it maintains its tension better over time.
  • Cost Considerations: Polypropylene is the most cost-effective solution, making it ideal for less demanding applications.

While there might be some overlap in applications, each type of strapping has unique properties that make it better suited for specific uses. For instance:

  • Steel strapping should not be replaced with polypropylene for heavy loads as it may not provide the necessary strength.
  • Polyester strapping can sometimes replace steel for certain applications due to its strength and flexibility, but the reverse is not always true. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the specific requirements of your packaging needs before deciding to interchange strapping types.

Yes, many types of strapping are recyclable:

  • Polyester strapping is highly recyclable and is an eco-friendly option.
  • Polypropylene strapping can also be recycled, though it depends on the facilities available.
  • Steel strapping is recyclable as well, and due to its durability, it can often be reused in some cases. Recycling options can vary by region, so it’s important to check with local recycling programs.

Strapping should be used whenever there is a need to secure goods during storage or transit. It’s particularly important for:

  • Securing pallet loads to prevent shifting during transportation.
  • Bundling items together, such as lumber or pipes, to maintain stability.
  • Reinforcing packages that may otherwise become damaged or open during handling.

For extreme temperatures, steel strapping is the most reliable as it does not degrade or lose strength. However, polyester strapping is also a strong candidate, particularly for high-temperature environments, as it maintains its strength and tension better than polypropylene, which may soften or weaken in extreme heat.

Buckles & Seals

 
 

Ensuring your loads remain tightly bound and stable during transport and storage. Our fantastic range of buckles allow for quick and easy tensioning without the need for specialised tools. In addition, our seals are used to permanently secure the ends of the strapping together, providing a strong, reliable hold. Together, these components ensure that your strapping stays in place, delivering optimal security for your packages and preventing any unwanted movement or loosening during handling.

Strapping Tools & Kits

 
 

These tools include tensioners, sealers, and cutters, which work together to tighten the strapping, secure it with seals, and trim the excess for a neat finish. Strapping kits often combine these tools with the appropriate strapping material, providing everything you need to safely and effectively secure your shipments. having the right tools ensures a strong, reliable hold, making the packaging process faster, easier, and more secure.
