Choosing the Right Strapping Material

Selecting the correct material is critical for load stability and cost-efficiency. Our experts help determine the best fit for your specific application:

Polypropylene (PP) Strapping

The most common choice for light to medium-duty tasks. Polypropylene is highly flexible, making it ideal for securing cardboard cartons, bundling newspapers, or light palletisation.

  • Benefits: Cost-effective, lightweight, and compatible with manual tools or automated machines.
  • Specs: Available in various widths (12mm–16mm) and breaking strains (130kg–365kg).

Polyester (PET) Strapping

A safer, manageable alternative to steel, Polyester offers superior tension retention and high break strength. It is preferred for heavy pallets and loads that may settle or shrink during transit.

  • Varieties: We stock standard PET, Woven Cord, Composite, and Hot Melt varieties for diverse industrial environments.

Steel Strapping

For demanding applications where sharp edges or extreme weights are factors, steel remains the gold standard. Available in Ribbon Wound or Mill/Oscillated Wound configurations to meet your volume and machinery needs.


Precision Strapping Accessories

A secure load requires high-quality strap and the right tensioning components.

Strapping Buckles & Seals

  • Buckles: Available in plastic, steel, phosphate, and galvanised finishes (12mm to 32mm) for manual tensioning.
  • Seals: We offer open, semi-open, closed, and serrated steel seals designed for plastic and poly straps.

Corner & Edge Protection

Prevent “biting” and structural damage with heavy-duty protectors that distribute tension evenly.

  • Cardboard Edge Protectors: Customisable lengths up to 1m in Kraft or Silver finishes.
  • Plastic Corner Guards: Available in small, large, and extra-large sizes.
  • Closed Corner Protectors: Enclosed buffers for maximum impact resistance.

Custom Printed Strapping

Enhance brand visibility and security with custom printed strapping. We apply logos, handling instructions, or warning messages using high-detail gravure or cost-effective flexographic printing.
