Plastic Strapping Tape

Buy the strapping plastic to secure their goods.

If you want to bundle, strap and securely pack goods, you need a high quality and durable polypropylene strapping. Why is PP strapping useful? Plastic strapping packaging or strapping is heavy duty, durable, weather resistant and long lasting, making it perfect for bundling goods. Since the strapping has plastic as its base material, it is available in different thicknesses and proves to be elastic and stretchable. Moreover, they can be used as a manual and semi-automatic strapping as well as a machine strapping with a strapping machine. Besides securing and bundling loose goods, plastic straps can be used to secure packages, pallets and a parcel. They are better protected from tearing and other transport damages with strapping. Especially heavy goods in a package or on a pallet get an ideal packaging and are protected from slipping during transportation or storage by the package plastic strapping. If the basic material from the strapping is plastic, it adapts to all forms of packaging due to its pliability and flexibility. Securing with PP strapping eliminates the need for additional packaging material, which reduces packaging waste. Depending on the type of cargo, packaging dealers offer the plastic strapping in different thicknesses. Some models are sealed with metal or plastic sleeves. If you want to purchase strapping for use with a sealer or strapping machine, make sure you buy the right strap width and core diameter. The practical polypropylene packaging straps are recyclable and available in various colors.

The manufacturing process of plastic straps

Modern plastic straps are created in a fully automated manufacturing process. The material is rolled out by extrusion and formed into the desired shape. PP, PET, PVC and PLA are used as raw materials. In this way, recycled material can be incorporated into the process. The plastics mentioned are melted in the extrusion process. They are then pressed through a die to give them the desired shape. Then the plastic clamping band is cooled in a water bath. The molten material is then stretched and cooled down again to make it strong and resilient. After that, the finished strap can be wound or spooled. The coils are picked up fully automatically from the winder, labeled, packaged and delivered. The label provides information on the exact product data. All finished, tear-resistant packaging tapes comply with standardized industry standards. They are manufactured in the most sustainable and environmentally friendly way possible. The process is divided into individual manufacturing processes.
In extrusion, the plastic granulate is melted in the extruder. The hot material is fed through multi-slot dies. The melt is then cooled in a water bath. During stretching, the heated strip is stretched in a stretching process until it reaches the desired elongation, tensile strength and surface texture. In order to increase the strength and stiffness of the plastic strip, it is subsequently embossed. In this process, the contact surface is reduced so that higher strip strength is achieved. In addition, the process improves the strapping behavior in strapping machines. During the fusing process, the strap is heated in the fusing channel. This process relieves the internal tension in the material. This increases dimensional stability. At the same time, heat shrinkage is prevented. The finished plastic tape is wound up according to the desired length. The plastic strapping is then labeled, palletized and picked. The roll label makes it possible to precisely trace each individual roll. The production process is accompanied by permanent quality assurance. This includes incoming goods inspections and various processing tests.

Plastic strapping for pallets for fastening and strapping

The use of plastic strapping is widespread in various fields and industries. The most common applications of PP strapping are packaging and shipping, storage and holding, securing heavy items, bundling newspapers and magazines, and securing pallets.

To pack products and goods securely and prepare for shipment, people often use plastic tension straps. Tension straps for pallets hold loads together on them and prevent them from slipping or falling during transport. Plastic straps are also used in warehouses and logistics centers. Tension straps are used for pallets or to fix stacks of products and packages in a stable way. This ensures that loads are held securely on pallets during storage and that no damage or accidents occur.
When handling heavy items such as machinery, metal parts or construction materials, plastic strapping is an effective way to bundle and secure them safely. This reduces the risk of accidents or injuries.
In the printing industry, strapping is used to bundle newspapers, magazines and other printed materials. This facilitates transportation and protects printed materials from damage.
Strapping is often used to secure pallet loads. They are wrapped around the load and placed under tension to create a strong and secure connection between the individual pallet components.
Plastic strapping is also used in the waste and recycling industries to bundle and secure large quantities of materials such as cardboard, plastics or metals. The use of plastic strapping provides a cost-effective and efficient method of securing products and loads during transportation, storage and handling. They help ensure safety and minimize damage or loss.

Optimize the use of plastic tension straps and secure your package properly

Polypropylene and other plastic tension straps are easy to use in a variety of ways. Large and bulky goods can be wrapped with the straps. The tightly stretched strapping plastic effectively prevents the goods from slipping. PP strapping can be used both manually and mechanically. In case of manual use, it is tightened with the help of a tension lever. The dimensions of the wrapping cores correspond to common industrial standards. Machine strapping is performed with the help of a semi-automatic or fully automatic strapping machine. These machines can cut, tension and seal the strapping. Cross and zigzag strapping are also possible. Machine strapping has the advantage of greater efficiency. It can also be used to handle large quantities and pack them for transport or storage. The sealing strap makes bundling, tying, securing and lashing of packages safe and reliable. For strapping, the packages are first assembled. Then they are wrapped with the strapping tape. It is recommended to place an edge protector under the packages to protect them. The strapping band is then tightened manually or with a technical device.

Strapping bands for securing packages in different variants

There are strapping tapes not only from plastic, but also from other materials. The choice depends on the particular packaging project. The straps have different degrees of strength and elasticity. There are different varieties of materials, which have different purposes.
Paper strapping is a good and more environmentally friendly alternative to PP strapping. They are composed of five percent vegetable glue and 95 percent kraft paper. This gives them surprising stability and tensile strength. In addition, the tapes can be disposed of quite easily via waste paper. They can be processed in the same way as conventional strapping using strapping tools or strap tensioners. Paper straps are recommended for light packages. With the help of them, the stability is improved and the load is secured for short-term transportation.
If you want to use plastic straps to secure packaging or a package, you must pay attention to the differences in plastics. There are types of plastic straps that differ from each other. The two most common types of plastic are polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET). PP straps have a higher elongation compared to PET straps, which can be an advantage in certain applications. Due to their high strength, PET strapping is particularly well suited in logistics, transportation, and securing heavy goods. PP strapping is often used in lighter applications, such as bundling boxes or lighter packaged goods.

You make a good choice if the material of the tension band is plastic. With the PP strap you can secure even heavy packages. Furthermore, you can wrap light palletized goods with these straps. Polypropylene strap is light and elastic. Therefore, it is preferred for goods where the volume of the package may change. Machine use in strapping tools is possible with the package plastic strap. The straps can be closed manually or welded by machine. As a manual closure, metal sleeves or plastic buckles are used as aids.
Tapes made of PET are particularly tear-resistant and are characterized by great stability. They hardly stretch under continuous load and remain relatively dimensionally stable. PET strapping is therefore suitable for long-term strapping. Areas of application are securing of heavy loads made of metal or stone. Unlike steel, PET straps are easier to handle and pose less risk of injury. PET offers further advantages because it does not corrode and does not stain. Thus, it does not leave any marks on the goods. In addition, PET straps are weatherproof and UV-resistant. The strapping is usually welded with an additional device to guarantee a secure closure.
Textile strapping is mainly made of polyester. It is excellent for heavy cargo strapping. Textile straps are very supple and gentle on sensitive edges. In addition, they are temperature resistant, weatherproof and therefore suitable for goods that are stored outdoors. The textile straps are easy and flexible to handle. They can be cut to size and tensioned with steel buckles. With a strap tensioner, even higher tension can be produced with little effort.
Steel straps are the right choice when securing sharp-edged, bulky, heavy or hot loads. The straps are particularly tear-resistant and also weatherproof. The steel is protected from corrosion by a paint finish. Steel straps maintain tension for a very long time. This offers advantages if the goods are to be stored for a longer period. It is true that steel strapping has rounded edges. Nevertheless, suitable protective equipment should be worn during processing.

PP strapping and its advantages

If the material from the strapping is plastic, they offer various advantages in storage, shipping and transportation of goods. Polypropylene strapping has a high tensile strength and can securely hold loads together. In addition, plastic strapping is flexible and can conform to the contours of the load, resulting in secure fixation. If the material from the packaging strap is plastic, they will not rust compared to metal strapping. Since the material of the packing straps is plastic, it prevents the packed products or loads from being damaged by rust or corrosion. PP strapping is recyclable and can be reused in many cases. This contributes to waste reduction and sustainability.
Plastic strapping provides reliable protection of goods and loads from environmental influences and damage. By simply wrapping the goods, they can be secured quickly and cost-effectively. In addition, the packaging strap can be applied with strap tensioners or strapping machines. This makes efficient bulk handling possible. There are many different applications for the resistant, elastic and tear-resistant plastic strapping bands, as they offer tensile strength and temperature resistance as well as a high breaking load. The straps can come in different colors like black, white and yellow. So you can divide the packaging tape into different uses and immediately recognize this by the color. You can also choose between different lengths, widths and material thicknesses. Compared to other packaging materials, there are some important advantages. Plastic strapping is used for professional load securing as well as for bundling heavy and bulky goods. Plastic strapping saves space during storage and transport. Depending on the goods to be packaged and your needs, you can use packaging tapes that are elastic or dimensionally stable. The PP tape is delivered rolled up on winding cores. The standard length is 1500 m. Depending on the material and thickness, the cores weigh 145 kg, 185 kg or 220 kg.

The use of PP strapping in strapping tools

PP strapping must have the appropriate width and thickness for use in strapping tools. This is the only way to properly build up the pretension and avoid damage to the package. The machine must achieve a strap pretension of 40 percent in relation to the tensile strength and breaking load. In this way, elastic re-stretching is generated by the plastic strapping. However, prepackaging is also crucial. This means that the entire load must be packed evenly. One-sided weight distribution should be avoided. Possible cavities should be filled for the purpose of stabilization. Those who prepare goods for storage and shipment should take into account that boxes, packages and pallets will be stacked, and you can ensure the necessary safety of your goods by using the strapping plastic. Therefore, when strapping, it is not only the package weight that matters, but also the stack weight that rests on the lower packages. The use of strapping tools in packing and wrapping ensures that the operations are performed faster, more precisely and more efficiently. Moreover, no additional tools such as tensioners or clamps are required.

If the material of the strapping is plastic, you have to take into account some criteria when buying it.

In order to secure high quality and at the same time cheap strapping, pay attention to some important tips for buying. With us, the material of the strapping is plastic. Thus, a suitable strap is available for every packaging task. When buying tension strapping, also pay attention to the maximum tensile strength and load capacity. Depending on the type of packaging, for example PVC packaging or cardboard packaging, you can choose elastic or dimensionally stable straps. While stable straps are suitable for bundling solid goods, elastic straps are the right choice when the volume of packages or pallets may change.Decide on the appropriate strap thickness. The length of the rolls is also important. Check whether the respective PP tapes are suitable for machine application. For manual application, PP strapping should offer proven and reliable fastening solutions. A tension lever should be easy and safe to apply. Important quality criteria of PP strapping are tensile strength, resilience, weather resistance, UV resistance and corrosion resistance. These features are especially important when the plastic straps are to be used for fastening goods.
