Plastic strap for everyday pallet and box securing
This plastic strap is made of recyclable polypropylene and ships on a 406 mm diameter core. If you strap medium-weight cartons, assembled goods or craft products day after day, the cost of each wrap matters as much as the hold it gives. A strap that is too heavy or too stiff for the job wastes material and slows operators down.
What happens when the wrong strap costs you time and product
Choosing a plastic strap that does not match your machine or load leads to problems that add up across a shift.
- A strap that is too thick jams semi-automatic machines and forces manual rethreading.
- A strap that stretches too little cannot absorb transport shocks, so goods shift on the pallet.
- Using steel strap on light loads increases material cost and risks damage to packaging surfaces.
- Unmarked strap makes it harder to trace shipments back to your line.
Each of these issues turns into labour time, rejected deliveries or replacement stock.
How this plastic strap solves those problems
The strap is offered in three variants. A 12 mm × 0.55 mm version comes on a 3 000 m coil, giving long runs between coil changes. A 12 mm × 0.8 mm version on 2 000 m provides higher holding force in the same width. A 15.5 mm × 0.7 mm variant on 2 000 m suits wider channel guides and heavier cartons. Elongation at break reaches up to 20 %, which lets the strap absorb movement during transit without snapping. The surface finish is available embossed or smooth: embossed strap grips better under hand tools and requires less material to reach the same holding force.
Temperature resistance covers −10 °C to 50 °C. It does not rust, resists common chemicals, and weighs far less than steel alternatives.
Where this strap fits and where it does not
This plastic strap works with automatic, semi-automatic, hand-held and battery-powered strapping machines. Battery tools join the strap by heat seal or vibration weld, so no metal clips are needed. Hand-held mechanical tools require metal clips for the joint. You can also pair the strap with plastic clips.
Core diameters other than 406 mm are available on request: 63 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm and 280 mm. For hand-held and battery tools, 406 mm is the standard core. Automatic machines typically use a 200 mm or 406 mm core.
Where you need higher holding force or minimal elongation under sustained tension, a PET strap is a better choice. PET achieves higher strength at the same dimensions.
What to check before ordering this plastic strap
- Width and thickness: confirm which variant matches your machine’s strap channel: 12 × 0.55 mm, 12 × 0.8 mm or 15.5 × 0.7 mm.
- Core diameter: 406 mm ships as standard. If your dispenser or machine needs 63 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm or 280 mm, specify before ordering.
- Surface finish: embossed for hand tools, smooth for automatic feed.
- Minimum order: 2 units per order.
- Custom printing: logo printing is available in up to 3 colours for brand identification on the strap.
VAT and shipping are not included in the listed price. Quantity-based pricing applies.
