Strapping Bands and Accessories for Industrial Bundling

Break strength depends on your load weight and shipping conditions. The available range spans from 110 lbs for lighter polypropylene applications up to 5,500 lbs for heavy-duty heat-treated steel strapping. Consulting with a packaging expert is recommended to match the right break strength to your specific load requirements.

Polyester strapping offers higher strength and superior weather resistance, making it ideal for heavy-duty and outdoor applications. It also maintains tension security across all weather conditions and has advanced thermal tolerance for extreme environments. Polypropylene strapping is a more cost-effective option suited for lighter bundling applications, with break strengths ranging from 110 to 1,000 lbs depending on the grade.

Yes. Both hand-grade and machine-grade strapping options are available. Hand-grade strapping is designed for manual application tools, while machine-grade strapping is engineered for compatibility with semi-automatic and fully automated strapping machines.

Steel strapping provides maximum tensile strength — up to 5,500 lbs — but may be susceptible to rust in outdoor or wet environments. For outdoor applications where weather resistance is a priority, heavy-duty polyester strapping is a recommended alternative as it maintains tension security across all weather conditions.

Strapping bands are used across a wide range of industries, including industrial manufacturing, food processing, warehousing and distribution, and agriculture. Specialized solutions are available for each sector, such as stainless steel strapping machines for food-grade hygienic environments and weather-resistant polyester strapping for agricultural and outdoor use.
